Fish, wade or just daydream creekside; walk, run or ride your bike on 7.6 miles of adjacent Saucon Rail Trail. At the end of a quiet road in the heart of Saucon Valley, this historic Mill House is situated on two parcels of land that total over 2 acres and border nearly 900 feet of pristine Saucon Creek. Built circa 1790's, the Old Mill House and its gardens have been featured in magazines and on garden tours. Random width wood floors, pie stairs, and deep-silled windows accent four levels of living space. A large stone walk-in fireplace, original open beam ceiling and brick floor are outstanding features of the incredible country kitchen.
Above, the main level includes living and dining areas, a second walk-in fireplace, a full bath and den/bedroom offering flex space for guests or family. Upstairs the primary suite, with sitting room boasts large windows and an elegant bath with radiant heated floor, cast iron clawfoot tub and separate shower. An additional bedroom on this floor along with built-in beds on the uppermost level offer additional space. Outside, the rolling grounds showcase specimen plantings and old growth trees while the sound of the babbling creek is ever present. The stone foundation of a bank barn now houses a fabulous walled garden. Additional outdoor spaces include a small barn, screened gazebo, terrace, outdoor dining room and meditation garden. Nearby Historic Bethlehem (a World Heritage Site) and the surrounding Lehigh Valley offer an array of festivals, music and art programs and dining options. Also close to quaint towns and popular destinations along the Delaware River and Doylestown, this idyllic location is a 90 minute drive to Philadelphia or Manhattan.
