Located on 10.62 serene and totally private acres, this property offers a harmonious blend of historic charm and modern comforts, just a 90-minute drive from NYC and Philadelphia. As you traverse the long gravel drive, you'll be welcomed by vast verdant lawns, flowering pear, cherry blossom, willow and mulberry trees, and professional landscaping bordered by woods. The distant stand of cedar trees provides an ideal glamping spot under the “big sky.” Originally built c.1820 with a significant addition in 1995 and further renovations by Brett King Builders from 2017-2024, this 4,541 sf home will accommodate multi-generational living. The light-filled interior exudes warmth, character, and a relaxed vibe with original details like Dutch doors, yellow pine floors, multiple fireplaces, exposed stone walls and beams, and deep-sill windows. Modern updates add a sophisticated touch, ensuring function and comfort. The main floor features a cozy library and a large living room, both with fireplaces. The spacious family room with dining area, wet bar, and wood stove is the heart of the home and great for entertaining. Views through the large custom Andersen windows frame the magnificent wide-open vistas, and the glass slider opens to the bluestone patio and the 2022 heated luxurious Aqua Bello pool with automatic cover. The open-plan kitchen, updated with quartz counters, farmhouse sink, island, and solid pine cabinetry, boasts a fireplace. Open the custom steel and glass door to the Jerry Fritz-designed English gardens full of peonies, hydrangea, lilacs, and Kousa dogwoods, and the elegant 750sf bluestone terrace with original summer kitchen transformed into pool cabana, perfect for al fresco dining. Upstairs, find respite in three bedrooms, a sitting room, two updated hall baths, and the main suite with a vaulted ceiling, large walk-in closet, and updated en suite. The attic has been transformed into a charming bunk room, and the finished basement offers a media room, ideal for family gatherings. This canvas would not be finished without the classic big red bank barn, a sanctuary for horses, featuring seven stalls including a wash stall, hay loft, heated tack house, equipment shed, fencing, and a run-in shed. Eased trails across this property and adjacent ones lead to the Bucks County Horse Park. The barn also offers open loft space, ideal for a studio or a spectacular party and guest house. The location provides outdoor recreation, including horse trails, Lake Nockamixon, and nearby county parks for fishing, hunting, cycling, running, and swimming. Several golf courses in nearby Lehigh Valley add to the myriad of activities available. All house systems, including the roof, septic system, and multiple HVAC systems, have been replaced for high energy efficiency. Whether you’re looking for a full-time residence or a weekend retreat, Atherley Farm provides endless possibilities to pursue your interests, from equestrian and hobby farming to artistic endeavors. Come for the weekend, stay for a lifetime!
