5 Storied Bucks County Estates Near New Hope and Newtown

Set on 12.7 acres along Deep Run Creek in Bedminster Township, this rare Bucks County estate pairs deep history with contemporary luxury. A c.1840 brick Colonial farmhouse and a c.1763 original settler cottage have both been fully transformed with high design and exquisite finishes, complemented by smart-home technology and an array of impressive amenities. In the main house, a gourmet kitchen anchors elegant living spaces, while five en-suite bedrooms and an elevator support everyday ease and long-term comfort. Outdoors, an infinity pool and spa are joined by a pool house and a greenhouse, creating a setting that feels equally suited to quiet mornings and effortless entertaining. The separate cottage—one bedroom and 1-1/2 baths, with its own address—offers flexibility for multi-generational living or extended stays, just minutes from Doylestown and an hour to Philadelphia.

Down a private flag-lot cul-de-sac in Kingswood Ridge, this Solebury residence balances seclusion with rare walkability to downtown New Hope’s restaurants, galleries, and shops. Beautifully landscaped grounds set the tone outdoors, anchored by a resort-style pool and spa for slow weekends and easy entertaining. Inside, a dramatic two-story foyer introduces soaring living and dining rooms, where natural light and architectural volume create a sense of arrival without sacrificing comfort. The home’s center is a thoughtfully updated kitchen, detailed with a Carrera marble mosaic backsplash and outfitted for serious cooking and hosting: dual built-in full-size Sub-Zero refrigerators, plus an additional full-size Sub-Zero freezer tucked into the pantry. An adjoining laundry/mudroom keeps daily routines organized, letting the house shift effortlessly from grand gatherings to quiet, everyday life.

Set on 4.42 private acres in the heart of Solebury, Stonecroft carries a Bucks County story that begins with an early Penn grant and unfolds through centuries of reinvention. Once a late-eighteenth-century stone bank barn built by the Ely family, it later became the studio of New Hope Impressionist Stanley Reckless before being thoughtfully transformed into a singular private residence. Inside, original character remains vivid in exposed stone walls, massive beams, and generous scale, anchored by a main stone great room (approx. 40′ x 28′) with soaring ceilings and radiant-heated barn wood floors. The recently updated kitchen—also with radiant heat—opens to a screened-in porch for easy, unhurried evenings. Outdoors, rolling lawns, specimen trees, a pool with cabana (bar and refrigerator), and a natural pond create a private compound bordering a 166-acre park and Lake Solebury beyond.

Down a gated entrance and long drive, Fox Hollow Farm unfolds across 38 acres of lawns, meadows, and woods in New Hope. The 1806 stone farmhouse is joined to a 2012 addition by two covered porches and a soaring-height pavilion with expansive seating and a sunken hot tub. In the original house, two adjoining two-story guest suites offer first-floor living spaces and fireplaces, along with pumpkin pine flooring and deep-set windows; two staircases lead to second-level bedrooms with matching tile baths. The newer wing introduces a two-story foyer, random-width pine floors, a formal dining room, and an eat-in kitchen with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and a two-level center island. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, opening via atrium doors to a wraparound deck and balcony. Ponds, gardens, a spring house, a two-car garage, and roofed barn ruins complete the grounds.

Originally built in 1710, this barn conversion pairs preserved character with polished, contemporary comfort. Inside, a spacious open living area rises under soaring ceilings, framed by original exposed beams and striking stonework, while large windows bring in generous natural light. Radiant heated hardwood floors run throughout the main level, where a bright gourmet kitchen features high-end appliances, a large center island, ample counter space, and custom cabinetry. The living room centers on a magnificent Rumsford fireplace, and a window-wrapped dining area looks out to the gardens, alongside a well-sized office and full bath. Downstairs, the primary suite offers a marble bath with mother-of-pearl mosaic floors, glass shower, and soaking tub, plus a dressing hall of closets. Outside, mature trees, lush gardens, a Blue Stone terrace with outdoor kitchen, and a swimming pool with eight fountain heads set an unhurried rhythm for everyday life.
