Location & Getting There
The Pearl S. Buck Estate sits in Perkasie, Pennsylvania, on a 68-acre estate in the heart of scenic Bucks County countryside. That location gives couples a private, garden-estate setting while staying within reach of the wider region, so guests coming from the area have a manageable drive, and the Philadelphia area is about an hour away for anyone flying in. The picturesque Bucks County setting, with nearby Doylestown, New Hope, and the Delaware River, gives out-of-town guests plenty to enjoy around the wedding. Yet the estate’s 68 acres of rolling lawns and gardens, surrounding the historic stone home of a celebrated author, give the property a private, beautiful, storied feel once you arrive. That combination of a stunning, historic outdoor estate with a peaceful Bucks County countryside setting is a big part of what draws couples to the Pearl S. Buck Estate.
