A magical living experience in the Bucks County countryside, this 1790s stone farmhouse on 13.6 acres offers vintage architectural elements updated with the modern amenities one would expect for luxe country living. Thoughtful additions and renovations over the years have created an elegant and well-designed country estate without compare. The original farmhouse boasts antique accoutrements and architectural details such as exposed stone walls, 5 fireplaces, random width chestnut floors, beamed ceilings, period moldings and hardware, and deep windows with antique glass. Large covered porches in front and back feature herringbone brick, setting the stage for a home that seamlessly blends 19th-century soul with modern amenities. This stunningly restored and updated home is a masterclass in combining historic charm with sophisticated living. A recent addition includes a sunny, oversized kitchen with vaulted ceiling, clever built-in storage, and a breakfast nook that looks out over the idyllic countryside. A den, living room and guest suite with bath complete the first floor. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a newly refurbished bath and stylish dressing room/walk-in closet with built-in storage, and access to the balcony for enjoying a morning coffee or evening cocktail accompanied by long-distance views. Completing the upper floors are three additional bedrooms and a hall bath. The swimming pool, dramatically positioned amidst long-distance vistas, offers a pool house with bar and sound system. Herringbone brick decking around the pool is set off by split rail fencing and manicured box hedges, creating a sophisticated space for parties, guests, or quiet evenings with family. Near the main house is a circa 1790 stone summer kitchen with 2 pizza ovens and Argentinian wood grill. A detached garage provides covered parking, while a sunny and spacious 2nd floor serves as artist’s loft or private office space, complete with wood stove and half bath. Multipurpose buildings are perfectly positioned amidst the rolling acreage, overlooking vistas of manicured horse pastures. The stone bank barn, breathtakingly restored, provides an amazing vaulted space for entertaining in large numbers, as well as a media loft, studio space, and caterer’s kitchen. Adjoining this multipurpose space are guest quarters with a kitchenette, two full baths, and a private balcony. Equestrian facilities include a well appointed 5-stall stable and heated tack room with built-in storage. An outdoor arena and 2 fenced pastures blend seamlessly into the thoughtfully landscaped acreage, accented with herb, vegetable, and rose gardens. A rare mix of secluded tranquility and easy access to nearby towns, Windhorse Farm is just 90 minutes to Manhattan and under an hour to Philadelphia.
