This romantic Bucks County hideaway is set amidst 12 acres of verdant forest on a sheltered bluff with mesmerizing views of the Delaware River. The environs are magical & the home's artistic design & perfect position take full advantage of its surroundings. Extensive walking paths invite you to explore the acreage & pick a bouquet of wildflowers to accompany your dinner with vegetables from your garden, eggs from your chickens & fruit from your orchard. The cottage exterior evokes the English countryside. Inside, these charms are compounded, as each turn reveals delightful architectural details & a charming ambiance. The great rm offers soaring ceilings, double-sided fireplace, oversized windows & antique hand-hewn beams. Wide-plank hardwood floors from trees on the property run throughout the home. Granite counters & gas range adorn the kitchen that opens to the wrap around deck for front-row views of the majestic Delaware river. 2 BRs & full bath complete the 1st level. A vaulted master suite on the upper level has tree-top views of eagles soaring over the river. A walk-out lower level offers a 3rd full bath, sitting rm & family rm all steps away from the sauna, hot tub & inground pool. For guests who will never want to leave, there is an independent guest house with woodstove, laundry & separate driveway. Riverbend Cottage is positioned at the end of a meandering drive with easy access to NYC, NJ & Phila but in a world of your own. Property being sold as is.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
