About this property
Set on 4.42 private acres in the heart of Solebury, Stonecroft is a storied Bucks County estate with origins dating back to an early Penn grant. Originally constructed by the Ely family in the late eighteenth century as a stone bank barn, Stonecroft was then converted to the studio of noted New Hope Impressionist Stanley Reckless, and, most recently, thoughtfully transformed into a one-of-a-kind private residence. Stonecroft is currently owned by the producing director of Bucks County Playhouse, where countless stage luminaries were house guests. A long, private drive lined with mature hydrangeas leads to a setting defined by rolling lawns, specimen trees, and complete privacy. Rich in history and artistic legacy, the home retains its original character-exposed stone walls, massive beams, and timeless architectural scale-while incorporating meaningful updates for modern living throughout its history. The centerpiece of the home is the magnificent main stone great room, measuring approximately 40' x 28', featuring soaring ceilings, dramatic volume, and radiant heated barn wood floors. The recently updated kitchen also offers radiant heat and opens to a charming screened-in porch-ideal for casual dining and evening entertaining. The main residence includes 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, with multiple living spaces that balance historic character and contemorary functionality. Outdoors, the property unfolds as a private compound. A large pool is surrounded by mature butterfly bushes and serviced by a cabana with bar and refrigerator-designed for effortless summer living. To the rear, the property sweeps down to a natural pond and lush wall of bamboo that borders a 166 acre park. Within the park sits Lake Solebury, a gorgeous 70 acre lake on the site of the former New Hope quarry. A tree-covered berm offers a rare combination of privacy and preserved surroundings. Additional features include a detached two-car garage with guest apartment above, a substantial 40x80 pole barn, and expansive open acreage suitable for recreation, gardening, or creative use. A rare opportunity to own a true Bucks County legacy property-where history, architecture, and setting converge in a way that cannot be recreated.
