Located in Pennsylvania, Bucks County attracts urban dwellers from metropolitan New York and Philadelphia who desire an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Within 2 hours of New York City and Philadelphia, the Bucks County lifestyle is a throwback to the past. Winding roads, farmhouses, charming towns, small businesses all within a landscape of rolling hills dotted with farms, horse properties and18th and 19th century homes.

Some of our favorite activities in Bucks County include:

The Covered Bridges: With 12 covered bridges, these quaint structures remain a testament of the simplicity of years past. An era of walking and horse-drawn carriages. We suggest beginning your tour at the Memorial Building in Washington Crossing State Park on the Delaware River (yes, where Washington crossed the Delaware River and changed the tide of the American Revolution).

Mansions on the Delaware: For a look into the McMansions of the past, check out the Mansions on the Delaware, beautiful stately homes which will delight all. The Glen Foerd with its intricate stained glass and art-gallery is a personal favorite.

Arts & Culture: The 10+ towns in Bucks County are each unique. From the artists colony of New Hope with its 200+ art galleries, antique shops and boutiques to Quakertown where the restored 1902 Reading Railroad passenger station attracts train enthusiasts to Doylestown, a favorite for Civil War buffs who enjoy the programming of the Bucks County Civil War Roundtable.

For the Children: There are many opportunities for the children from active to educational. A personal favorite, The Crayola Factory at Two Rivers Landing. Yes, many of us of a certain age were thrilled when we received the 64 box with built-in sharpener. Well, bring your kids to the Crayola Factory, while times have changed and many children now draw on a computer, the crayon is still a hit no matter what your age.

For Lodging: Bucks County Luxury Farmhouse, a 5 bedroom (sleeps 10) vacation rental situated on 65 rolling acres for those who desire serenity, privacy and the vacation opportunities only available in Bucks County.

Down a winding country driveway, this stone country house is a fabulous combination of New York chic and Bucks County charm. The estate sits on 65 private acres of rolling lawns, country gardens and woods with walking trails enveloped in mature trees throughout summer with canopies of leaves leading to a spectacular showcase of fall foliage.

This gorgeous property is located in Tinicum Township, the most desirable part of Bucks County. Situated a mere 80 minute drive from NYC and 60 minute drive from Philadelphia. It is just minutes from the Delaware River and the historic Canal Towpath, a premier pathway for jogging, biking, cross-country skiing, or just enjoying the scenery. The estate is very private and tranquil; yet close enough to the towns of New Hope and Doylestown, and the quaint New Jersey side of the Delaware River communities.

In addition to the pleasures of the summer months, this country estate is the perfect place to entertain friends and family for Thanksgiving and the winter holidays. Skylights flood the gourmet kitchen with light, and French doors open to a trellised patio where you can drink your morning coffee and watch the deer visit the stream at the edge of the lawn.

The charming dining room with walk-in stone fireplace and old wood paneling is wonderful for intimate country evenings but large enough for dinner parties with friends. The back of the house is graced by a library and living room with working fireplace.

The three-story house has five (5) bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms with interesting architectural details and quaint nooks throughout. Our gated and landscaped pool area has a heated pool usable through mid-October, weather permitting.

Bucks County is very beautiful year round with fall foliage, winter’s beauty of rolling hills covered in snow, spring renewal when the landscape turns a vibrant green and summer, an escape from the stifling heat of the city. Please contact us if you are interested.
