At the end of a winding, scenic driveway right outside Hopewell Borough lies this rare gem dripping in charm and possibility. Dating back to the 1700s, this 12-acre estate, once part of the sprawling 800-acre kingdom of Betty Wold Johnson, beckons for someone looking to embrace history, nature, and perhaps just a touch of eccentricity. Enveloped by rolling hills and graced with a charming red barn, this property abuts the future D&R Greenway preserve, gifted by Betty Wold Johnson’s estate. Its fortunate new owner will have access to an astounding 16 miles of hiking, birding, and biking trails. Nature is truly your neighbor here. The bones of the property are as classic as they come: a historic farmhouse practically begging for a renovation. It started as a humble fieldstone structure before growing into a stately all-brick home thanks to some enthusiastic expansions over the centuries. Multiple fireplaces create cozy nooks, while large formal rooms set the stage for hosting all sorts of soirées. Whether you need bedrooms or a home office or two, this spacious home has a very flexible floor plan to tailor to your needs. Old-world charm aside, there’s also a modern twist that adds just a dash of glamour: a leasable helipad. If helicopter jaunts into Manhattan are on your list of priorities, this feature might be the clincher! Be in New York in twenty minutes or less with no turnpike required! Although this home has seen a few centuries and is looking for someone with the vision to restore it to its former glory, for the right buyer, this is the ultimate opportunity to own a piece of history and make it entirely your own! There is a conservation easement on the property and it cannot be subdivided. Other restrictions may apply. Please send current pre approval or Proof of Funds for Showing Confirmation
