About this property
Close to the City, Far from Reality
Comfortable and stylish, we've designed this home to be the ultimate escape.
Originally built in 1803, the classic stone barn was transformed in the 1960s by renowned designer Ward Bennet, whose work can be found in MoMA.
With its private outdoor spaces and inspiring interiors, come enjoy this secluded spot for a relaxing time away or a creative retreat.
Tucked away on a quiet road, surrounded by trees and bamboo, the house offers a private country retreat without straying far from the comforts of town.
When you enter the main floor, you’ll be immediately struck by the tall, stylized windows that became a Ward Bennet signature.
The comfortably appointed great room is set up for lounging with a view. Lofted cozily above the great room are the library and bedroom, creating a functional but beautiful open plan space. Also on the main floor is a funky, colorful dining room, Japanese soaking tub, picturesque balcony and the main bathroom.
Downstairs, you’ll find a well outfitted kitchen with bar top seating and another comfortable living room with a wood stove and full entertainment setup.
Just 5 minutes outside of the charming town of Riegelsville and 15 minutes from the city of Easton, you’ll have quick access to bars, restaurants and entertainment. And with the Delaware river so close, you can easily enjoy a day of tubing, jet skiing, or kayaking.
Or just stay hidden away on the property with plenty to keep you occupied, including a secluded pool, hot tub, Japanese-inspired garden, greenhouse lounge, fire pit, and many outdoor seating areas tucked away in the lush greenery.
The landscaped grounds beg for exploration, featuring rare specimen plantings that'll keep you and your Seek app busy. Plus, the Mariton Wildlife Sanctuary is a short walk down the street and offers several trails for exploration and hiking.
This is a stunning setting for a relaxing weekend for two, a solo creative retreat, an intimate event with friends, or, for our fellow bookish types, a reading marathon in one nook after another.
