Privacy seekers look no more! Incredibly secluded historic farmhouse on almost eight acres, surrounded by two hundred additional acres of preserved eastern woodlands. Nestled in the foothills of the Sourland Mountains, this enchanting offering beckons with peace, quiet, and immersion in nature. The large and attractive 1840 post and beam house, known locally as the Abbott Farmstead, has been intelligently improved in the last five years. This traditional farmhouse with modern, bright and spacious second-floor primary suite addition features a flexible layout that could be made to suit many households and lifestyles. The property includes a charming guest cottage at some remove from the main house which has also been smartly upgraded by current owners. The cottage contains the fourth bedroom and third full bathroom. Also to the rear of the lot is a large barn with a two-car garage on the first floor and an open second floor that features a cathedral ceiling and skylights, perfect for an artist's studio or workspace. New apple, winterberry and Japanese maple trees have been planted, along with a pollinator garden. If you are looking for a place that feels like your own private hideaway, but can't go all the way to Vermont, this is the next best thing! A beautiful, remote location (the house is so set back it cannot be seen from the road!), but only eight minutes to Hopewell, fifteen minutes to Pennington, twenty-five minutes to Princeton (and yes, within the nine-mile radius for a PU mortgage!). Twenty minutes to Lambertville/New Hope, less than an hour to Center City Philadelphia, ninety minutes to NYC. A little over an hour to the Jersey shore at Belmar or Asbury Park. Blue Ribbon East Amwell pre-K-8 school sends to Hunterdon Central High, ranked #21 in the state, or choose from many fine private schools within thirty minutes. High speed super fast Internet service to house provided by Verizon FIOS--great for working from home! Easy to see and can be ready for a quick closing. Isn't this your year to make a big change for the better? Book your appointment today and be enjoying your new tranquility by the holidays!
