85 GEIGEL HILL RD Erwinna, PA 18920

Village Bridge Farm is a wonderful example of classic Bucks County Stone Farmhouse. This Circa 1850's home sits at the edge of the sleepy river village of Erwinna, Pennsylvania. This was an overnight stop for the mule drawn barges that ran 60 miles of canal and towpath, bringing anthracite coal from Easton to Philadelphia. The last lock toll was paid in 1931, almost 86 years ago, and the tow path and canal are now part of the Delaware River Park System. At one time Erwinna provided shelter and food for the weary canal workers. Today Erwinna provides a refuge for those seeking a kinder, laid back lifestyle, and the opportunity to recharge and renew. Handsome home sits on a lovely 8 acre parcel and overlooks another Bucks County Treasure, The Erwinna Covered Bridge. This bridge is one of the remaining 11 covered bridges that still stands in Bucks County today. The bridge, the stream and this lovely home have been the inspiration of many Bucks County Artists as the personification of what "Bucks County" is all about.
