Crosswicks, NJ 08515

Sitting atop a hill overlooking sweeping grounds featuring lush plantings set against a verdant forest, a gorgeous swimming pool is but one of many focal points of this 14+/- acre country paradise in historic Crosswicks. A charming cluster of outbuildings - a village of its own - includes a one bedroom/one bath guest cottage with nearby carriage house, a four-bay garage with a full-sized walk-up floor brightened with large windows, and the gem of the estate, a former blacksmith s shop - now a studio space - that will draw out the most deeply hidden artistic talents. Dreaming of a place to display your car or sculpture collection? A large barn has the potential to serve a variety of roles. The well-proportioned rooms of the mid-century era main residence have walls of windows offering remarkable views of the grounds, professionally landscaped for continuous seasonal interest. Four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, two fireplaces and an effortless, open flow of space. As if this clearing in the middle of the woods did not offer enough, the entire rear of the property rolls to Crosswicks Creek - perfect for kayaking, canoeing or reflecting upon the untouched scenery. Within close proximity to all major commuter routes, train stations and airports along with many preserved farms offering an abundance of fresh New Jersey produce at farm stands dotted along the countryside. This compound estate makes the ideal full-time residence or casual country retreat.
