About this House

Located in rural Bushkill Township in the Lehigh Valley metropolitan area, the fastest growing metro in PA, Bay and Bramble Farm is a small country compound on over 85 acres with open farmland and wooded perimeters, bounded on the north by the Blue Mountain, home to the Appalachian Trail. The long-distance views are exceptional. The adorable c.1800 cottage-style log home is accompanied by a detached office, 19th century bank barn, equipment shed and milk house. The property provides the opportunity to lead a charmed country lifestyle, as well as offering long-term investment potential. Though in Act 319 currently, developers will be attracted to the 1-acre minimum zoning, perhaps for an upscale country subdivision. The equestrian will recognize the potential to create a large-scale horse farm with stables, paddocks, riding trails through the woods, and arenas, in close proximity to NE horse shows; the existing house would be ideal for housing a resident trainer. Perfect as a weekend oasis, or create a family compound, siting a substantial main house further back on the land to take advantage of the phenomenal views of mountains and wildlife. Bushkill Township has offered to conserve the land which could be the tidy sum needed to make the property right for you! Desired Nazareth Area School District. Arrive in Philadelphia or NYC in under 2 hours. Come for a weekend, stay for a lifetime!

    "There is a park very close by and very well maintained. Everyone very nice. There are stores within five minutes of driving. Route 33 access is not hard to get to and Windgap is in between the Poconos and Lehigh Valley. "

    "Not much to offer in terms of dining and entertainment other than a few local hidden gems for food and drink but everyone around is generally friendly and nice and treat you as you treat the rest. Local legion is amazing! Plenty of space and constant bands if you don’t mind a smoking bar, also best pub food in the area! Nice back roads and trails and close commute to Jacobsburg makes Wind Gap an affordable and nice place to call home for those who want outside city living and a great view of the Appalachian. Beautiful during spring summer and fall. "

    "Although a small community, it is one of the greatest communities I have lived in, and this is coming from a woman with 3 children, two dogs, and a husband! I have lived in CA, NJ, NY, and many places in PA as well, but we settled in when we reached Wind Gap/Plainfield Township area. Truly AMAZING schools nearby, I have two kids in public and one in private, and great dog training centers too, not to mention for etc. pets! I would definitely recommend this area to anyone looking for a truly great community!"
