Welcome to Serenity Farm. You will be enveloped by peace and tranquility as you enter the driveway. The 43-acre compound includes a reimagined farmhouse, modern studio apartment, historic stone bank barn, antique greenhouse, party barn, equipment barn, animal sheds, orchards, vegetable, perennial, h...erb, meditation, and magic gardens. Our first stop is to the main house dated c 1900. Notice the dramatic stepping stones leading to the front door. Each stone weighs well over a ton and is surrounded by specimen low-growing perennials to make you feel floating on a green carpet. The front entrance is new and blends perfectly with the existing house. The steps are handpicked repurposed granite slabs from Connecticut. As you enter the house, it is apparent how much this home has been loved. The floors are hand-scraped pine plank pickled to a light see-through grey wash. The walls are all replastered with lovely detail. Crown moldings have been installed everywhere, and floor-to-ceiling windows surround the wood-burning fireplace. This main living area has an open concept space graced by a dramatic Lindsey Adelman Chandelier over the designer table and chairs. The newly renovated kitchen has enormous windows and French doors open to a large stone patio with a weathered wood pergola, hanging chandelier, built-in gas range, all inviting for al fresco dining. The kitchen features a new gas oven and range by La Cornue. And the White Macaubas - Brazilian Quartzite hone with honed finish. The cabinets are handmade by local artisans, and the panty has lovely lighted glass fronts. The half bath was an addition from a few years back, and the one stucco wall has fascinating details from when it was an exterior wall. Upstairs on the second floor, the primary suite and guest room have French doors leading to a balcony and completely renovated bathrooms with marble floors, tile walls, and Waterworks faucets. The third floor offers flex space for a yoga area, meditation room, or art studio. Just across the driveway, you have an oversized three-car garage with two walls of drawers and cabinets filled with every tool for the handy person. The garage is heated and air-conditioned for year-round comfort. The garage doors are all glass for plenty of light. Upstairs is a large studio apartment 35'x20.5', wood floors, heat A/C. Large kitchen with granite counters and backsplash, full bath, glass shower, and marble floors. French doors open to a small balcony; there is also a lovely patio area as you enter the apartment. Behind the studio apartment is 1 acre fenced garden and orchard. The entire 1-acre plot has amended soil and has multiple species of apple, pear, cherry, nectarines, plums, peaches, and persimmon trees, along with fig, blueberry, raspberry, and gooseberry shrubs. Flanking either side of the orchard are two of the most beautiful barns constructed out of old barns, which were removed and rebuilt here on-site by a master carpenter. The large barn has a lovely he/shed area. The existing bank barn 50'x56' has a wall of glass. The current owner has very detailed drawings and renderings for a home to be built within it. The septic system site has already been approved. Or, you can use the barn for animals or horses, which the lower level is high enough for. Attached to this remarkable old barn is a 1940s Lord & Burnham greenhouse, which had been moved to this location and reconstructed. There are fenced animal pastures, including newly erected sheds from historic old barns. The old corn crib has become a magical sitting area with a chandelier, curved doors, and windows. The meditation area at the lower part of the valley comprises ancient carved stones removed from a cathedral in Europe, and the hand-stacked stone bridge brings guests from one side of the valley to the other. This plus much more make up these 43 acres of crafted and curated gardens. Bucks County is known for its scenic beauty and farm to table restaurants, farm stands, wineries,
