Long admired as the loveliest of all Saucon Valley gentleman farms, Landis Mill Farm is now proudly offered for sale on 73 private acres. Enter through an allee of impressive locust trees to this Currier and Ives setting, on a drive that meanders through verdant fields and rolling lawns as it extends to soft horizons. An 1800’s plaster over stone manor house with pool and a Pennsylvania bank barn with guest room are located in the middle of this acreage, in an exquisite and secluded setting. Landis Mill Farm offers rolling topography with rich landscaping provided by time and care. Embraced by the winding banks of Saucon Creek, this lovely location is conveniently located to all the amenities of the Lehigh Valley and within walking distance to the Saucon Valley Country Club.
Nestled perfectly on the 73 acres, and nicely removed from a quiet road, the restored farmhouse is a treasure. The traditional porches and banked, 18th century architectural design, all point to a formal heritage. Deep window sills, chair rail moldings, romantic wood floors, multi-paned double hung windows with old glass and a walk-in fireplace are just a few of the historical amenities that infuse the home with charm. Cozy up with a book, a fire, a cup of tea and you’ll lose all sense of time. Beauty, however, does not defy function. All rooms face serene views and are bathed in light. The modern kitchen opens to a sunroom that is the perfect place to overlook your acreage, entertain friends or just watch the seasons change with unspoiled vistas.
The original structures which dot the grounds can easily accommodate today’s lifestyle. The 1800’s bank barn is a jewel and offers original hand-hewn timbers. The barn has three garage bays, workshop space, and a second floor game room with kitchen which also serves as pool room. Because the pool has been built to blend into the environment, the lush pastureland and neighboring hills and valleys will be your pre-eminent views as you relax poolside. After a swim, groomed paths invite you to wander, guiding you through the quiet grounds where it is not uncommon to spot a herd of deer or a red fox traversing the fields or glimpse the occasional blue heron at creek’s edge.
Landis Mill Farm presents a rare opportunity to own a true gentleman’s farm in a superb and easy-to-reach location, offering amenities to entice you to linger and enjoy the beauty of every season. More than just a financial investment with infinite possibilities… it is also an investment in lifestyle and a property for the future. Just ninety minutes to Manhattan and under an hour to Philadelphia.
