Converted Barn

Welcome to the Barn at Ash Mill. A quintessential Bucks County converted stone bank barn circa 1729. This extraordinary property is situated on almost 12 bucolic acres encompassing both sides of one of Buckingham Township’s most desirable roads and conveniently located minutes away from the river town of New Hope, and historic Doylestown Pennsylvania with fine dining, shopping and entertainment. History abounds as it was once the studio of the renowned impressionist painter and designer of stained-glass windows George W. Sotter. He was mostly known for his association with the New Hope Art Colony. The 6,880+/- sq. ft. barn was completely and thoughtfully restored in 2012 including modern amenities while preserving the historic character and charm of an old barn. Featuring geothermal green energy heating and cooling, radiant floor heating, new roof in 2024, Anderson full divided light windows, security system with cameras, and fully integrated Sonos surround sound system.
