Skillfully designed and thoughtfully rendered by its architect owner, who also designed an 800 sf addition to a Millstone Frank Lloyd Wright house, this 3 BR (or 4th optional BR), 1.75 bath home is executed in a modern design. An additional full bath is roughed out on the second floor. Located within equal distance between Princeton, Somerville and Flemington, in western Hillsborough Township close to the ridge on Sourland Mountain, this lush 8.88 acre parcel of virgin forest (most of which is woodland assessed) boasts approximately ten different varieties of trees including Red Oak, Beech, Sassafras, Maple, Ash, Tulip and White Oak with some measuring up to 3 feet in diameter and 300 years of age. A bright office/studio is situated above the detached carport (ideal for an artist, author, consultant, engineer, architect, etc. ) and has parking accommodations for up to 7 vehicles. Also noteworthy, a 138ft deep artesian well drawing + or ? 4gpm services the property. A wood stove in front of an indigenous field-stone wall keeps the living-dining room and kitchen as warm as you wish on the coldest days. An appealing aspect of the home is it's natural finishes and western red cedar ceilings. The owner plans to move to Florida to join part of his family but has enjoyed 50+ years of quality living that included raising a family and conducting an architectural and engineering practice all while enjoying such natural beauty. This property must be seen to be fully appreciated. In addition home has new septic system!

Mountain Conservation District
The purpose of the Mountain Conservation District is to preserve and protect the fragile ecosystem and preserve the rural character of the Sourland Mountain. The district is designed to prevent the overuse of limited water resources and respect the ability of the soils and ground water to sustain on-lot disposal systems without degrading or impairing surface or ground water quality. Rugged terrain, rocky soils, extensive wetlands and mature forests typify this environment, which is poorly suited to accommodate residential or other development that will require reliable water supplies. Due to these natural limitations, it is important to limit impervious cover in order to foster maximum recharge and sustainable yields in the district and regional watersheds dependent on the limited groundwater supply. The Mountain Conservation District is also designed to preserve biological diversity and environmental integrity through the maintenance of large contiguous tracts of forest.
