About this House

Back on the market and awaiting it's next steward... the property has been approved and is being connected to public sewer! Set within the rolling countryside of Bucks County, Forebay is a one-of-a-kind architectural residence where history, design, and nature come together in a setting that feels wonderfully removed from everyday life—yet remains within easy reach of New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, and the Main Line. Surrounded by more than 10 private acres in Buckingham Township's Spring Valley Historic District, the property traces its origins to an early nineteenth-century Pennsylvania bank barn overlooking Watson Creek. Thoughtfully transformed into a remarkable residence, it honors its heritage while embracing the relaxed luxury and effortless indoor-outdoor living today's buyers seek. From the moment you enter, soaring ceilings, hand-hewn chestnut beams, exposed stone walls, skylights, and walls of glass create interiors that are both dramatic and inviting. Every room feels connected to the surrounding landscape, where woodland views, mature trees, and curated gardens become part of daily life. Designed for gathering as naturally as it is for quiet retreat, the home offers more than 4,000 square feet of flexible living space. Whether hosting weekend guests, working remotely, celebrating holidays with extended family, or simply enjoying a peaceful evening at home, the floor plan adapts beautifully to the way people live today. The kitchen flows effortlessly to the sunroom, screened porch, covered patio, summer kitchen, and outdoor entertaining spaces, making every season an invitation to live outdoors. The experience continues beyond the home. Wander garden paths to Watson Creek, unwind in the hot tub beneath the stars, or enjoy dinner with friends surrounded by restored stone walls and thoughtfully designed landscape lighting. It is a property that encourages slowing down, reconnecting, and entertaining without effort. While the architecture reflects another era, the infrastructure is designed for modern comfort. A whole-house generator, updated electrical, replacement windows and doors, water treatment systems, heated workshop, and comprehensive security monitoring provide confidence for both full-time and seasonal living. Beyond the gates lies one of the Northeast's most desirable destinations. Minutes from New Hope, Lambertville, Doylestown, and Newtown, you'll enjoy nationally recognized restaurants, art galleries, boutique shopping, wineries, farmers markets, preserved parkland, and miles of scenic roads that have made Bucks County a destination for generations. Conveniently located approximately one hour from Center City Philadelphia, 90 minutes from Manhattan, and easily accessible from Princeton and central New Jersey, Forebay offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the Bucks County lifestyle without compromise. This is more than a historic home. It is a place to gather, to recharge, and to create memories in one of Pennsylvania's most treasured landscapes.
