Stone Cottage Woods is situated in picturesque Stouts Valley, in the southernmost corner of Williams Township, Pennsylvania. Technically in Nothampton County, the valley lies at the border of Bucks County and Lower Saucon Township. The area is characterized by rolling hills, undeveloped and protected open spaces and farms, historic structures and small town charm.
With the cities of Easton and Bethlehem a short 15 minute drive away, there’s easy access to transportation hubs, shopping, entertainment, and outstanding healthcare and educational institutions. Route 78 provides direct access to New Jersey and New York City to the east, making Williams Township a favored relocation spot for NYC and NJ commuters seeking to minimize their commuting time and property taxes.
Stouts Valley Living
Stouts Valley Road is a winding, postcard-perfect country road that traces the southern tip of Stouts Valley from Steely Hill Road, crosses over the Bucks County line, and ends a short distance from the Delaware River. At the corner of Steely Hill and Raubsville Roads, the Stouts Valley Farms road side stand features corn, tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, pumpkins, peaches, apples, and home-baked pies in season. Directly across the street from Stone Cottage Woods is Thaler Farms, preserved farmland which will never be developed, which is also a thriving dairy farm where neighbors can buy raw milk.
A rural oasis, Stouts Valley and the country byways of Williams Township feel miles away from the cities and interstate highways to the north, although both are quickly and easily accessible. In Stouts Valley, you’ll find more historic buildings and barns than ‘McMansion” developments; more rolling hills, mountain views and picturesque vistas than Bucks County to the south; more farmed land and open spaces than in less preservation-minded communities. Neighbors walk their dogs on quiet streets, the scent of honeysuckle permeates the summer air, and bright orange day lilies take up residence along country roads. Across the road from Stone Cottage Woods, cows amble through grassy pastures, curious to check out passersby. At night, moonlight – not street lamps – illuminates roads, accompanied by a symphony of tree frogs, owls and crickets, with lightning bugs adding drama and mystery to July nights.
