Tucked away beyond a winding drive, this 10+ acre private estate in Lower Mount Bethel unfolds as a rare opportunity to own a true countryside compound - where history, creativity, and lifestyle converge. At its center stands a late-18th century stone farmhouse, thoughtfully refined to balance time-honored craftsmanship with modern comfort. Exposed beams, original stonework, and wide-plank floors create a sense of permanence, while updated systems and finishes deliver everyday livability. What sets this property apart is not just the home - but the ecosystem surrounding it. A collection of distinctive outbuildings expands the experience and functionality of the estate, including a classic Pennsylvania bank barn ideal for studio, workshop, or creative use, a rustic cabin retreat, a vaulted guest house, and a charming studio cottage that offers flexibility for guests, workspace, or extended living. Additional features include a woodland sauna, greenhouse, chicken coop, and multiple stone outbuildings, all contributing to a property designed for both inspiration and utility. The land itself is equally compelling. Spanning over 10 acres, the grounds offer a blend of open meadow and wooded landscape with fenced paddocks, raised garden beds, a koi pond, and a network of trails leading to Little Martins Creek. The setting provides privacy, usability, and a connection to nature that is increasingly difficult to replicate. Enrolled in Pennsylvania's Clean & Green program, the property benefits from favorable tax treatment while maintaining its agricultural character. Whether envisioned as a private residence, creative retreat, multi-generational living environment, or lifestyle-driven escape, this estate offers a level of versatility rarely found in the market. Ideally located approximately 90 minutes from New York City and under two hours to Philadelphia, this is a property that delivers both seclusion and accessibility. This is more than a home - it is a fully realized rural compound with history, purpose, and long-term potential.
