Property Description

Rich in texture and filled with subtleties of design throughout, this impeccably maintained Bucks County home is nestled amongst an extraordinary setting with stunning views of the sweeping Delaware River. Privacy and tranquility are assured by a long gated drive and the surrounding 60 acres of woodland, river frontage and spectacular long distance views. On these expansive and diverse acres you could spend days exploring your own secluded woodlands, winding trails, and rocky waterfalls, where the rush of clear waters tumbling down forest brooks after spring rains is a sensory feast of sight and sound. Defined by exquisite detailing and an artist’s eye to frame the endless blue skies and breathtaking river views, the home is perched on the geographically notable Palisades of Bucks County. Timeless materials lead from the foyer with granite floors and a natural stone feature wall, a tribute to the rocky cliffs the home is anchored on, to the glass-walled great room, sitting area, and kitchen. Every room is oriented towards the view with a flourish of angles and walls of windows. Here, privacy is so complete window treatments are unneeded. Red oak and ceramic tile floors and vaulted ceilings flow past the massive floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace in the great room into the kitchen where granite counters, tumbled backsplash, and island with seating for 5 will satisfy gourmet cooks and everyday family living. A massive wraparound deck feels more like an outdoor living room with Trex decking and vaulted wood ceilings. Lounge in your hammock, “work” from home, or host gatherings rain or shine with bald eagles and herons as guests of honor as they glide over the river at your eye level. Located just past a handsomely appointed office with built-in bookshelves and desk, the main floor primary suite is housed in its own wing, allowing you to begin your day with a mesmerizing sunrise touched off by the sparkling river. The room is floored with red oak, capped by a vaulted ceiling lit by skylights, and features a built in bed made of gleaming Brazilian hardwood. An ensuite luxury bath is rich in high-end finishes and amenities including a Jacuzzi tub and frameless glass shower with double shower heads and a window that opens to catch the river breeze. An adjacent dressing room offers finely crafted built-ins and dual walk-in closets. The expansive walk-out lower level also enjoys walls of windows and access to a covered wrap around deck and outdoor shower. A family room with stone fireplace, recreation room, and den with built-in wet bar and beverage cooler are flanked by two bedroom suites with walk-in closets and accommodating baths. Comfort, convenience and efficiency are ensured by a premium geothermal heating system replaced in 2023 and 2024. The home is dressed in a cedar shake roof, stained cedar siding, and 2025 skylights. In addition to the attached 2-car garage, a detached barn offers a 3-car garage with vaulted ceiling and oversized bay doors. An adjacent workshop will accommodate hobbies, projects, and parking for recreational vehicles. This amazing 60 acre oasis is already subdivided and offers possibilities for a family compound. While the main attraction remains the incredible panoramic views, when you need to be grounded you’ll appreciate the fact that the quaint and historic riverside village of Frenchtown is 15 minutes away and Doylestown is a 30 minute drive through the bucolic countryside. New Jersey is visible across the river, and Manhattan is just 90 minutes. This home sits in sparkling condition ready to welcome an owner who values privacy, quality craftsmanship, and the beauty of nature.
