Property Description
Up over the scenic hills and valleys of the Sourland Mountain ridge just 10 minutes from Princeton and Hopewell Boro is sited this sprawling 114 acre farm with a deep country feel. Dating back to the holdings of early Dutch settlers with familiar names like Werts, Conover and Voorhees in the late 1700s, the land rises and falls gently, and as far as the eye can see near, far and in any direction are green pastures and towering maple, oak and chestnut trees. The property includes the original farmhouse, a second and later house with 3 bedrooms and a full bath, a fieldstone Spring house (now housing the well equipment) and the working outbuildings. Nearest to the house is the smaller barn, still with a corn crib, that serves as the garage for farm machinery and has a small one bedroom apartment upstairs with kitchen and bath. "Sheep may safely graze," and do,near the enormous main barn, notable for its original stone foundation walls with previous owners' names etched in and its magnificent hand-hewn beams. It takes little imagination to see it stabling horses or sheltering cows or other livestock as well as sheep and lambs, and to see them grazing and frisking in the fenced pastures. The farmhouse itself features a country porch while a white picket fence defines the surrounding garden and patio. Over the years it was expanded, as was typical of the times, but it retains early touches in painted hardwood floors, a fireplace and bar room and has more recent ones like a modern kitchen, an upstairs laundry and a deck off the main bedroom. To note: The property extends east to Spring Hill Rd. off Rt. 518. House and outbuildings are being sold 'as is.' Zoning is 14 AC.
