The winding country roads of Solebury Township are an idyllic backdrop for this elegant gated estate. Surrounded by twelve acres of rolling meadows and verdant woodlands, this bucolic property offers a serene and secluded retreat like no other.
Holmquist Farm epitomizes a harmonious coexistence between nature and the comforts of home. Every aspect of the property has been renewed or improved in the last three years, including stunning new floors and unique light fixtures throughout the main house, a detached garage with luxe guest house, extensive landscaping, infinity pool, and even a pickleball court.
Entry begins with a classic formal living room with deep silled windows, walls of built-ins, and a wood-burning fireplace. The large family room boasts a 2-story vaulted ceiling with reclaimed wood beams and massive chandeliers, along with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace flanked by tall windows. The 2022 gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, with marble backsplash, soft close cabinets, burnished bronze fixtures, and a large island. The dining room is elegant with hand painted orchids adorning the walls and French doors leading out to a bluestone patio surrounded by stately rows of flowering trees.
The luxurious first floor primary suite is a private oasis, with a high ceiling, lavish spa bath, and sliding glass doors to an ivy-draped patio. Upstairs, another full bedroom suite includes a built-in window seat, two Juliet balconies, and private bath, while two additional bedrooms share an updated hall bath. The finished lower level delights with a fully equipped wet bar, flex room suitable for a home office or extra bedroom, and wine room. A home theater, full bath, and stairs to the outside make this a wonderful space to entertain family and friends.
The grounds are ideal for entertaining or quiet days at home. Flowering trees and specimen plantings surround the home, while lush grass extends to a heated in-ground saltwater infinity pool with laminar jets. Surrounded by bluestone patios, this scenic overlook offers long-distance views overlooking open farmland and the hills and valleys of Solebury Township.
Across the driveway a newly built detached garage offers four bays with space for five vehicles. The upstairs guest apartment is an elegant residence on its own. An open-plan living area includes a full kitchen, positioned to take advantage of the oversized picture window looking out over the gardens. The custom marble backsplash is a work of art featuring flowering branches with dimensional marble petals. Two sunny bedrooms and a full bath are nearby, as well as a state of the art exercise room featuring a patented hardwood floor with subfloor spring mechanism and Nanawall that opens to the beautiful environs.
The property was once owned by Miss Karline Holmquist, founder of The Holmquist School for Girls, which merged with a local boys school to become the co-educational Solebury School, whose campus is located just up the road. Peace and quiet, a secluded haven within 90 minutes from three major metropolitan cities with access to international airports, world-class arts, cultural amenities, entertainment, shopping, and fine cuisine can all be yours at Holmquist Farm!
