Property Description
Absolutely beautiful eighty-one plus acres of rolling hills, panoramic views, four ponds and lush foliage just five minutes from the Delaware River - there is no other property quite like this one! The location is superb: down a winding country road midway between the Milford and Frenchtown Bridges, ninety minutes to either Manhattan or Philadelphia and a scenic twenty minutes to New Hope. The property has extraordinary long distance views and the serenity and stillness that comes from being surrounded by acres of unparalleled land at the very top of Tinicum Ridge. The entire property is permanently protected with Tinicum Conservancy to help preserve the rural character of the area and the conservation easements do permit the building of a spectacular new home. Currently the compound includes the original farmhouse, guest house, entertainment barn, huge working garage and hanger. Upon entering the gate you find the main house first. Originally built in the 1800's, the main part of the structure is post and beam with thoughtful additions made over the years. A wide rocking chair front porch leads to the farmhouse kitchen with distinctive custom cabinetry and top-line appliances. Typical in farmhouse kitchens the breakfast room and kitchen are one large room and flow to the great room. Wonderfully finished hardwood floors, handsome stone fireplace and a sweet library area with built in shelves are the features here. From the great room is the laundry room, mudroom and full bath with clawfoot soaking tub. On the second floor the master bath with cathedral ceiling and two additional bedrooms share the remodeled hall bath. On the third floor is the bonus room which would make a great media room or office. Central air keeps everything cool. The "Farm Store" or entertainment barn is the next stop on the winding driveway. Also originally built in the 1800's this post and beam structure was used as a farm store in the 1960's but has a new life as a spectacular entertaining barn. The fabulous 22x21 kitchen features subway tile, stainless triple prep sinks and storage and a massive 29x9 pantry room. Just off the kitchen is the large half bath. The hardwood floors in this building are fantastic and the ceiling and wall surfaces have been reskinned in wood. Three distinctive gathering areas (including a 30x30 great room, 51x12 dining room and 21x20 flexible use room), two wood stoves which have catalytic converters and 8 inch pipes that are extremely efficient, wine storage and display, walls of windows and a Trane HVAC system combine to create a stunning place to entertain guests. And where do your guests stay? The Guest Barn of course. This barn has been converted to living space with a two story great room with stone fireplace and Palladian windows overlooking the property. The calm and comfortable master bedroom has double closets and an ensuite bath with dual sinks and a tub/shower. A second bedroom can be found on the other side of the barn allowing your guests to each have their private space. A full modern kitchen and breakfast room, laundry area and second full bath complete this main floor. The lower level of the barn and the floored attic provide extensive storage. A detached one car garage is close by. Further up the lane is the "Apple Sorter" barn or the original barn where the apples from the farm were stored and sorted. The "Shop" was always the shop for the farm and is now the multi-car working garage. Significant work was done to refurbish this building and it is great for the serious car enthusiast or can suit a variety of purposes. The 66x45 "Hanger" is all the way at the top of the drive and has a fabulous panoramic view. Historically this was an airstrip and Erkes Airstrip can still be seen on maps. Conservancy information and documents available upon request. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a history, natural beauty and a place to get away from it all.
