5483 MOUNTAIN HOLLOW LN New Hope, PA 18938

CrossBow - As you pass through wrought-iron gates, you enter one of the most beautiful and secluded locations in Bucks County. Driving up a long serpentine driveway through the ten-acre estate, you pass by ponds, enchanting secret trails and a Victorian gazebo overlooking the main pond. Everything from the home, two barns, gazebo and covered bridge is color coordinated. The entrance to the home is extraordinary and unique: a scenic and elegantly illuminated covered bridge passes over a small pond with a water feature. The kitchen is custom with exquisite cabinetry of rich heat-patina copper and hammered copper fascias. The counters are Brazilian granite with under counter indirect lighting to accent the copper. Floors in the kitchen and living room are random width hickory with antique nail heads. The floor plan is open and spacious, leading to a living room with a stone fireplace, Buck stove and French doors which open up to Buckingham Mountain. But the piece de resistance is a great room with oak parquet floors. The entire corner of the house is floor to ceiling windows which look out on a breath-taking view of forest, clearings and ponds. The master bedroom has its own sauna, vaulted ceiling and clerestory windows. Many extra windows at CrossBow are of hand-wrought stained glass. The master bath has a jetted tub and there is a hot tub waiting on the back patio. The three other bedrooms on the second floor each boast their own gorgeous views and walk in closets. Nineteen books and novels have been written by the owner author/artist. It is a stimulating property. The roof and HVAC have been upgraded in 2014. A large garage with three electric doors, plus a spacious tool room take up the bottom half of the elegant barn. The upstairs is heated and insulated and has recessed lighting. For decades it has been the studio of the owner and world known sculptor. If you yearn for a place to escape from the stresses of everyday life, CrossBow may be the best spot in Bucks County. With your own section of Buckingham Mountain behind you and over a hundred acres of forest to your right, you won't see or hear traffic. You can hear the peepers, frogs, birds and... the sounds of silence. Possibly the most special place in eastern PA is the deck of the tree house nestled up in the trees overlooking not one but two ponds. For birders, nature lovers or historians, CrossBow is.... Heaven!
