Property Description
Seldom, these days, do we find a fine old Bucks County stone farmhouse with all its original features remaining unspoiled; situated out of sight of its neighbors, on nearly 100 acres of stunning country side. Old Orchard Farm, built in 1801, is all this and more. A long driveway winds between tree rows, passing fertile farmland and lush meadows. A hillside hardwood stand is dominated by yellow poplar, ash, black walnut and birch trees. Purists will savor keystones above windows, random width pine floors, paneled window cheeks, chair rail molding, beaded beams and beaded ceiling boards, two walk-in fireplaces with smoking doors, one with a beehive oven and three additional fireplaces with Federal-style mantels. The house is 4,358 square feet with unusually spacious rooms (12 in all), just awaiting loving restoration. A main staircase and a set of butterfly stairs provide access to seven second floor rooms. Outbuildings include a stone bank barn with new roof, delightful stone settler"s cottage, stone smoke house, deep root cellar and drive-through garage. The impressive acreage poses endless possibilities for equestrian pursuits, organic farming or a quintessential gentleman"s farm. Located just west of the Delaware River and quaint river villages, nearby Doylestown and Bethlehem provide exceptional cultural venues.
