After seeing this unique property in the Pennsylvania real estate listings, I’m adding converted barn to the list of places I’d like to live someday. It’s the guest house behind a renovated Victorian farmhouse on Lonely Cottage Lane, and I’d be tempted to buy it based on the address alone.
The farmhouse is nice, too, but it was the barn that really grabbed my attention. Take a look!
The property includes 7 acres and a pond. It’s on the market for $1.2 million.
This bedroom with the old stone walls has me swooning:
Thanks to Rie who first linked to this listing on her lovely blog Home & Harmony. For more photos and information about the Victorian Farmhouse and converted barn, check the listing.

Oh, my stars, I’d live in that barn in a minute! The stone walls are divine. And that picturesque setting? Who could ask for more?!?!
Mamma miaaaaaa… this cottage is a dream!! I love it!
Oh my! These barn conversions get me every time.

The place is fantastic. I’m more a city gal than country but this would tempt me to the other side.
Julia, I absolutely love what they have done with this space. I could move right in!

Unbelievable! That’s one gorgeous barn. My complaint? It’s not in Kansas. Ha! No, wouldn’t change a thing.

Died and gone to heaven with this beauty! I’m in total love with the wood floors and the dancing pig out on the lawn in the first photo. Would love to find that!!!

Wow, that is amazing, sign me up for a converted barn as well! The octagon area rug and the giant fork and knife prints need to transport to my house right now! And I definitely wouldn’t mind sleeping in that cozy stone bedroom.
Okay Julia, I am buying a lottery ticket today….this house is perfect for our family! Once your children become young adults, and keep those young adult hours, this seems to be a perfect set up…my husband and I will take the barn…the kids can have the house (lol). As you can tell, we are on Spring break this week and I am soooo tired…these kids never sleep!!

Love it! There is a barn conversion just down the street, a red one where the middle section is two story and the two sides have the slanted roof down and are one story. I’ve been in the entry, and the upstairs is a loft bedroom. It sits way back off the road with about 2-3 acres out front.
I am in love. How very beautiful
Absolutely GORGEOUS!! I would love to live there
My dream is to live in a beautiful barn like this!
Love those stone walls in the bedroom. And the old barn beams are gorgeous!

Oh, I’m right with you! But what is up with the Pig in the yard?!? Janell

Wow….our last house was a barn conversion (in the North East of England!), our address was “The Dairy, Butterlaw Farm”…. I miss it still, even though we are now firmly routed here in Ireland and are in the midst of building ‘new’.
My particular ‘like’ is the stairway….love all the light that floods in.

Oh my gosh….love, love, love it. That gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, “What, were you born in a barn!” To which you could proudly say, “Well no, but I live in one!” Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
XOXO,

Love love it! Too bad the kitchen looks so dark. My only criticism. And that bedroom is so romantic.
This is totally inspiring. The timber beams in the main area? Perfect. And this is a guest house? I better not let any of my guests see this

That is just STUNNING! Wish our old barn hadn’t burned down 10 years ago. It had the most beautiful old timbers in it…..no stone wall though.

I think I could live there quite happily, too, Julia! Just gorgeous and I love the open first floor.
I loved it…just beautiful! We had a big red barn on our farm as I grew up..it was so nice that local dances were held in the loft! Come say hi
Oh, my, my, my! It appears so serene and idyllic, just my kind of place! Also, loved that Monday movie house yesterday! It was so homey and warm and architecturally interesting! The boy’s bedroom was uber cool.
Thanks, Julia,

Wow. That is so beautiful. It’s hard to believe it’s a guest house! I would happily live in it.

And someday, if someone asked your children, “what, were you raised in a barn or something?” they could say, “yes, actually, a $1.2 million dollar one.” And they could be smug because their “barn” life would be waaaaaaay better than most home lives!! I just love that!

Lonely Cottage Lane, are you kidding me?? What an incredible name! And the bedroom with the stones! And the old wooden beams in the main living areas!
BEAUTIFUL. Thanks for this post!
Okay Julia this one actually made my eyes tear up a little! I’m in love. How in the world do I get the 1.2 million I need to buy my dream house? For now a girl can dream. Thanks for sharing!

OMG! That’s right near me! As soon as I saw “Lonely Cottage Drive…” had a feeling. It is not exactly right on Lake Nockamixon. It’s more like “middle of nowhere”. If you like remote….let’s say we pass it when we go for a Sunday drive, but I wouldn’t want to commute from there (or dig my way out in the winter).
I found myself sighing involuntarily while scrolling through the images. What a great marriage of original identity to a new purpose.
Oh my gosh, that barn is gorgeous. I went and looked at the listing and it’s sad because the guests have a much nicer place then the homeowners. Heck, i’ll let the guests sleep in the house and use that barn as my own private place. Then if I needed time to myself, I could go spend time in there.
Love at first sight.

Completely in love!

Oh, my. How dreamy. I’d slap $1.2 million down in a heartbeat… if I had it. I love the round dining table right there in the middle of everything.

Gorgeous! I love the open, airy feeling

Wow! What I would give for that property for $1.2…..if only it was located in Northern California. Oh, wait, that would probably be $10 mil here!! I can only dream.
I’d like to live there, please.
.-= Carmen´s last blog ..Our Easter (lots of pics) =-.
Yes, add it to my list, too! Those stone walls, oh! I’m with ya.
.-= angela | the painted house´s last blog ..The Painted House Has Moved! =-.
I really really like!
Oh I so love that property. Can’t believe it’s not swooped up already. I’m glad you highlighted it again!
I love it…I bet it’s so stinkin’ cozy during a snowstorm with a big, roaring fire…loverly!
I love the last landscape picture! I would live just in a tent under that blue sky!
….*le sigh* ….. I especially love the space plan with the round table in between the island and the living space and those rock walls!
Gorgeous! I love how open it feels inside. Love the staircase too.
