An Old House lover's Old House and Horse Property all rolled into one! Approximately one hour drive from the Lincoln Tunnel, you will find welcome seclusion on this 22+ acre farmstead offering both woodlands, pastures, and fields for your rural activities. A little bridge crosses Pleasant Run Creek, originally named Campbell's Brook after the first settler in 1685. Our house was built shortly thereafter—the tax records say 1700. You'll find many original features intact: back-to-back corner fireplaces on the main floor; a walk-in fireplace in the dining room; exposed beams; wide-plank flooring throughout—even in the kitchen. It would only take a little TLC to bring this home back to its former lustre. No destructive renovations impair its integrity. There are two straight staircases to the second floor. A covered screened porch runs along the back, and in the front (facing away from the road) a brick patio and walkway lead you to the barns. There is a hook-up for a portable generator. The newer 2007 horse barn features three stalls and a large run-in area that could be converted to three more stalls, as well as a tack room and loft large enough for 750 bales of hay. A Tractor Barn dating back to 1830-40 with a salt-box design holds two more run-in stalls in the back. Both barns are surrounded by a fenced paddock, including a large lunging pen for exercising your horse. Readington Township is traversed by equestrian trails including The Pleasant Run Greenway. You also have a 290 acre preserved farm next door. The deeded easement is from the road to the bridge; property line runs down the middle of the creek. Nature and serenity await you.
