Emerald Isle | Circa 1747 | Solebury Township | 24 Acres
A rare Bucks County country estate. Extensively renovated in 2026, Emerald Isle brings together the character of an 18th-century stone home and the ease of thoughtfully upgraded living. Set behind a gated entrance on 24 picturesque acres, the property pairs a beautifully restored Main House with a separate Guest House, creating a private, welcoming retreat for everyday living and time with family and friends.
Rolling countryside views, mature landscaping, hand-laid stone walls, gardens, and a stream-fed pond with waterfall lend the grounds a timeless sense of place. A stone terrace extends the living space outdoors, while a private pool and spa create a natural setting for relaxed summer days and memorable gatherings.
The Main House offers three newly renovated bedrooms and baths. Wide-plank floors, exposed beams, original stone, and brick and slate flooring preserve the home’s historic character, complemented by carefully considered modern updates. Particularly convenient, the primary suite is located on the driveway level. Its newly renovated bath features a marble walk-in shower, radiant-heated floors, Savant Smart house features, and bespoke lighting.
The sun-filled living room is an inviting place to gather, with a wood-burning fireplace, custom built-ins, and charming window-seat nooks. On the lower level, a spacious family room and dining room are distinguished by exposed beams, built-in cabinetry, and a dramatic walk-in fireplace. The newly renovated gourmet eat-in kitchen features exposed stone, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances and connects seamlessly to the home’s entertaining spaces. Each room opens to the stone terrace and views across the pond, gardens, lawn, pool, and surrounding woodland.
The detached Guest House offers two private en-suite bedrooms, terrace, and a flexible studio space—well suited to visiting guests, a home office, creative pursuits, or fitness. Together, the two residences provide room to gather while allowing everyone a measure of privacy. An oversized two-car garage adds everyday convenience.
The grounds are designed to be enjoyed: graceful stone walkways, established landscaping, and distinct spaces for quiet moments and outdoor entertaining make it easy to experience the property through every season. The surrounding open space is preserved under the stewardship of the Bedminster Land Conservancy, contributing to the estate’s enduring sense of privacy and connection to the countryside.
Located in the highly regarded New Hope-Solebury School District, Emerald Isle is minutes from the village of New Hope, the Delaware River, and the restaurants, galleries, boutiques, and theaters of Bucks County’s river towns. It offers a peaceful country setting with convenient access to Philadelphia, Princeton, and New York City.
