Almost 40 years ago, a couple from New York City discovered Bucks County and its stone farmhouses and barns. They wanted a weekend property, something that provided complete serenity away from the city. What they found is c. 1759 Springhouse Farm, 16+ acres along a hidden country road above Carversville. Over the years, they undertook many renovations and updates, smoothing its rough edges and turning it into a gem of a country property. Stone was repointed, reclaimed pumpkin pine floors were installed and existing floors refinished; stairs and custom storage were added; attic spaces were finished and floor plans were changed to create a sensible bedroom and bath arrangement. When more living space was needed, they moved on to the barn and added a guest suite with a great room, kitchen, bedroom and two full baths. Now, Springhouse Farm seeks its next stewards. From its Living Quarters kitchen cabinetry to its two fireplaces for winter enjoyment to its top-notch mechanicals, it’s a move-in ready residence with lovely views, especially from the screened rear porch and kitchen patio. The second-story veranda is accessible from the main suite and a guest bedroom. There is perhaps no better spot in Plumstead to enjoy a morning coffee or a little stargazing at night. The main bedroom includes a full bath and two closets. With a pond, large springhouse, in-ground pool with lap lane and acres of level pasture, Springhouse Farm offers all of the ingredients one needs for a bucolic hobby farm or estate property. Also note that the total acreage with the house and barn on separate parcels means it could become three smaller properties. Adjacent to the barn is a large meetinghouse-style storage shed and an outbuilding that could be perfect for any number of uses, from an artist who needs a large studio to a car collector to a fitness buff who wants a gym as large as a commercial space. Located in between New Hope and Doylestown, Springhouse Farm is a celebration of Quaker simplicity and natural beauty that makes Bucks County a much-loved retreat to this day.
