Property Description
The very essence of a Bucks County Gentleman's farm is evidenced at 1st approach, with a winding drive from a private country road. This 1790s stone colonial, on 13.6 acres, offers a unique & timeless representation of the Bucks County countryside, with architectural elements throughout the stone manor house, magnificent barn & outbuildings. The original farmhouse has been appreciated & restored, boasting vintage accoutrements & architectural details such as exposed stone walls, 5 fps, butterfly staircases, random width chestnut floors, beamed ceilings, period moldings & hardware, & deep windows with old glass. And yet, it is the seamless blend of original features & new renovations that amazes & delights. Surprisingly, a recent addition offers a great room/dining room/kitchen that will take your breath away. Designed to enhance the home's livability, yet to preserve & meld with its antiquity, this sun-filled area has reproduction antique glass windows, exposed stone, plaster walls with period patina, & custom woodwork & cupboards. An office, living room & guest suite, all with fps, complete the 1st floor. On the 2nd & 3rd floors are 3 additional brs, 2 baths, library, laundry & balcony, which offers panoramic vistas of the protected environs. Multipurpose buildings are perfectly-positioned amidst the rolling acreage, overlooking views of horse pastures, organic gardens & specimen plantings. The stone bank barn, breathtakingly restored, provides an amazing vaulted space for entertaining in large numbers, as well as a media loft & a studio with bath, 2 kitchenettes & additional overflow guest brs. Below, beautiful horse facilities include a tack room, stalls & walk-through horse shower. A stone summer kitchen has 2 pizza ovens & Argentinian wood grill. A sun-filled artist's studio is above the 2-car garage. A swimming pool offers offers a pool house with bar & sound system. Accompanying these luxurious accoutrements are fabulous landscapes that have been thoughtfully planted to provide privacy & accented with a bent-grass croquet court, herb, vegetable & rose gardens, & Hawthorne allee. For the horse enthusiast, the property includes riding ring, pasture & quiet country roads on which to ride & is only 5 miles from a 2,500 acre horse park. This utterly romantic farm's magic name, Windhorse Farm, derives from the Tibetan word "Lungta", meaning "Wind Horse". When you feel your "Lungta" you feel a true sense of well-being?like a horse running in the wind.
