The 26-acre estate in Upper Black Eddy that was once a summer retreat for the wealthy, philanthropic Guggenheim family is currently on the market in Upper Bucks County – Bridgeton Township, PA.

The four bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom home, with almost 3,500 square feet, is 30 minutes from New Hope and 10 minutes from Frenchtown, New Jersey. It’s hidden in a patch of forest that sits above the Delaware River.

The main structure, which has been well maintained over the years, was built in 1870 – 23 years after Meyer Guggenheim immigrated to Philadelphia from Switzerland.

The property also includes a large outdoor swimming pool, a garage with a two-bedroom apartment above it, a one-bedroom guest house and the ruins of a historic barn that has been repurposed as an entertainment area.
