Built in 1800, this classic stone bank barn has undergone a dramatic transformation. Utilized at the hub of an overnight summer camp and retreat from early 60's to mid 90's where boys and girls found spiritual growth while discovering the natural beauty of this scenic area. You can almost hear the faint sound of children's laughter as you come upon this site. Upon closing, the 130 acre camp was subdivided into large Country Estate lots, leaving this gorgeous stone barn and numerous outbuildings on 8 tranquil acres. It was purchased in 1998 by a visionary couple that launched a decade long labor of love renovation that preserved the architectural integrity with great respect for its time honored construction methods. Its massive beams, threshing floors, climbing ladders, weathered siding, etc., were repurposed with the objective of creating an incredible home with a sense of drama and charm. The result was a very special home and a truly extraordinary Bucks County Retreat.
