At Olde Bulltown Village in Northern Chester County, Pennsylvania, you’ll find an opportunity to create a home that perfectly blends the charm of historical architecture with the comforts of modern luxury.

Q: How Can My Home Take Advantage of the Beautiful Golf Course Views?

One of the greatest perks of building near a golf course is the chance to select a lot that provides the opportunity to capture breathtaking views from the comfort of your own home. At Olde Bulltown Village, every home is thoughtfully designed to complement its surroundings, creating a harmonious blend of natural beauty and architectural charm.

Architectural planning is key. We work with homeowners to prioritize positioning their great rooms, dining areas, primary bedrooms, or other desired focal points to face the most picturesque vantage points of the French Creek Golf Club’s fairways and greens. Expansive windows, screened porches and outdoor seating areas blur the lines between indoors and out, allowing you to enjoy nature without ever leaving your home.

Q: Are There Opportunities for Enhancing Outdoor Living Spaces on a Golf Course Lot?

Living near a golf course means more than stunning scenery — it’s an opportunity to elevate your outdoor lifestyle. Homes at Olde Bulltown Village are tailored to make outdoor spaces as inviting and functional, creating endless possibilities for relaxation and entertainment.

Popular features include stone patios with built-in fire pits, outdoor areas perfect for entertaining and pools (on select lots) that provide a private oasis. Covered and screened porches allow you to enjoy the outdoors year-round, rain or shine.

Privacy can be achieved even when living near a golf course. Thoughtful landscaping — such as a line of native trees or a natural stone accent — provides a sense of seclusion while preserving your stunning views of the fairways.

Thanks to the low-maintenance lifestyle offered by Olde Bulltown Village, you’ll have more time to relax and enjoy your outdoor spaces without the hassle of constant upkeep.
