PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Discreetly set back nearly 800 feet from the road behind a gated fieldstone entrance, Welcome House Farm is a rare offering that blends the architectural integrity of a Pennsylvania historic landmark with every modern luxury a discerning buyer could require. Originally constructed in 1791 and listed on the National Register of Historic Properties, the farm sits on 15.2 manicured acres in the heart of Bucks County and operates today as a fully self-sufficient, off-grid-capable estate. This is the quintessential gentleman’s farm — meticulously restored, thoughtfully upgraded, and ready for the most exacting standards of country living. THE MAIN RESIDENCE The main house presents a stunning exterior of pointed fieldstone, stucco, and siding, with the predominant Perkasie red stone lending an unmistakable sense of place. Key additions in 1835 and 1971 brought plumbing and electrical infrastructure entirely up to modern code — there is no knob-and-tube wiring. The crowning achievement of the home’s restoration is its Tesla Solar Roof in slate style — a seamless, ultramodern system that mirrors the property’s original shale aesthetic while generating clean solar power. Paired with two Tesla Power walls delivering 30 kilowatt-hours of backup capacity, the home is capable of true off-grid living and has the ability to sell surplus power back to the PPL grid. Inside, four bedrooms and two and a half renovated bathrooms are appointed with random-width pine floors throughout. The west bedroom, original to the 1835 addition, features extraordinary boards in excess of 15 inches — a hallmark of pre-industrial craftsmanship. The master suite includes two walk-in closets and a bathroom renovated in 2015. The second full bath was updated in 2022, and the powder room in 2014.The kitchen, renovated in 2015, is a chef’s showpiece: reclaimed pumpkin pine floors, custom Shenandoah Brand maple cabinetry, Space Black granite countertops, and a Viking professional propane range and oven anchor the space. Three working fireplaces — in the kitchen, den, and study — add warmth and character throughout. A Buderus oil-fired boiler with custom hardwood-covered baseboard radiators provides reliable whole-home heating. The attic, renovated in 2021, has been finished with 8-inch shiplap ceilings, exposed spalted maple beams, and its own dedicated mini-split climate zone. Verizon Fios high-speed internet is hardwired to the main house, carriage house, and barn, enabling independent Wi-Fi networks across each structure. POOL & WELLNESS The 25,000-gallon saltwater pool was comprehensively renovated in 2025 with new plumbing, fresh plaster, tile, and coping, and is surrounded by David Austin roses. Chlorination is managed by a Hayward salt cell system powered by a 1.5 HP pump and Diatomaceous Earth filter, with internet-connected timers for effortless management. An adjacent Jacuzzi infrared 3-person sauna provides a private wellness sanctuary steps from the water. THE CARRIAGE HOUSE The fully appointed carriage house functions as a complete one-bedroom, one-bath guest cottage. It features a fully renovated kitchen and bath, hardwood floors, a built-in fireplace, custom built-in bookcases with a reading nook, Amish-crafted staircase, and a finished second-story flex space. The carriage house operates independently with its own pressure tank and electric heat pump for year-round comfort. Below grade, a mudroom with washer/dryer hookups and a two-car garage with Eastman-powered doors complete the offering. THE WORKSHOP The detached workshop, renovated in 2021, features a new standing seam metal roof, concrete floor, and a 60-amp sub-panel with both 120V and 240V service. Husky work shop cabinetry provides generous storage, and two full garage doors open the space entirely to the outdoors — ideal for large-scale projects or equipment storage. A modern masterpiece. An irreplaceable Pennsylvania legacy. Bedroom in the carriage house is counted as 5th bedroom & bathroom as 3rd.

DETAILS

Lot Features

• A Liftmaster-powered, electrified gate framed by original Perkasie red stone columns marks the entrance to the property. The 800-foot meandering asphalt driveway winds through the grounds, past towering old-growth Red Oak, Black Walnut, Eastern White Pine, and Sugar, Red, and Silver Maple — many of them centuries old — before arriving at the main residence and beyond to the barn. A 50-year-old evergreen forest of former Christmas trees creates a natural privacy screen of exceptional density and beauty. A productive orchard planted in 2015 yields Apples, Pears, Peaches, Cherries, Apricots, Raspberries, Elderberries, and Persimmons. Nine separate pastures totaling approximately 11 acres are enclosed with perimeter fencing. There is a pond on the property too, about 1/4 acre in size – it was dredged in 2021.

Horse Facility Features

• Few stables in this region can claim to resemble a private Wellington facility. Renovated in 2021 to world-class standards, this luxury barn is finished in sleek metal board-and-batten beneath a standing-seam roof crowned by two cupolas and four dormers.
• The ground floor features eight matted stalls with automatic waterers, all custom fabricated by J&E Grille Manufacturing of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Each stall opens directly to run-in pastures on both sides of the barn for seamless indoor-outdoor access. A climate-controlled tack room with galley kitchen and custom built-ins, a hot-water wash stall, and a dedicated feed room complete the equestrian program. A detached hay barn accommodates 200-plus square bales.
• A grand 40-inch staircase leads to the barn’s upper level — a fully insulated, 2,000+ square foot finished space soaring to 18-foot ceilings sheathed in pine and illuminated by recessed lighting and five statement chandeliers. The floor is custom hand-milled random-width ash, felled on the property and finished at Quaker Hardwoods — a truly one-of-a-kind detail. Two independent mini-split zones ensure year-round comfort for entertaining, events, or any variety of uses.
• OUTDOOR RIDING ARENA
• A regulation-size 150 × 200 outdoor riding ring and automatic field waterers across all nine pastures round out a turnkey equestrian property of the highest caliber. A historic sanctuary.
