Property Description

AURORA SPRINGS FARM Set along a spring-fed creek, mature gardens, private woods, & pristine farmland, Aurora Springs Farm offers a rarely available 133-acre Bucks County estate. Dating back to William Penn's 1737 Walking Purchase, Aurora Springs is part of more than 1,000 contiguous acres of conserved land in historic Durham Twp helping to preserve native wildlife, the Cooks Creek Watershed & historic farms. The heart of the Aurora Springs is its 1756 farmhouse overlooking the tranquil pond. Architectural Digest featured the home based on its tasteful preservation of period details balanced with modern amenities. Original beamed ceilings, wide-plank floors & multiple fireplaces sit comfortably with panoramic picture windows, balcony, & a spacious kitchen. Three 5-acre building sites allow for expansion of the original estate. The layout offers ample room for overnight guests & large entertaining spaces. Outdoor activities include a swim in the pool, a nature hike, gardening, or tennis on the private court. Children & adults alike will enjoy the creek that runs through the property & into the pond. The property also borders Cook’s Creek, which is designated an exceptional value cold water fishery with trout. Past the original springhouse is the spacious cottage, airy & light with cathedral ceilings in the great room & balcony overlooking the pond. Next to the cottage is the studio, perfect for yoga. The cabin offers an extra bedroom & bath for guests, along with a 2nd studio space. The bank barn is ideal for parties, featuring a great room with a wide-plank floor, stonework & vaulted ceilings. A pool house has a bar kitchen, 2 shower rooms, a sauna, powder room, & laundry. An apartment is located on the top flr & the lower level has 4-car garaging & workshop. The 4 seasons at Aurora Springs are dramatic. Gardeners will marvel at the colorful flowers of spring & summer & vivid foliage of fall.
