About this home

There is a particular kind of quiet that settles over 12 Craig Road, the kind found only where a pond catches the last light and eleven and a half acres stretch out in every direction. This Tudor Cape in Neshanic Station, Readington Township, has spent years becoming something rare: a working farm estate where berry rows ripen in their own season, grapevines climb trellises planted with patience, and the orchard trees have had time to root deep and bear fruit. It is a home that rewards those who love the land as much as the living space. Inside, 3,206 square feet unfold across four bedrooms, three full baths, and a powder room, and every bedroom holds its own walk-in closet, a quiet luxury of space and order. The main-level primary suite is a retreat unto itself, with a walk-in closet and a full bath centered on a whirlpool tub made for slow mornings. At the heart of the home, the kitchen invites gathering: a butcher block island, quartzite countertops, a cathedral ceiling, and skylights that pull in the daylight, all set against a chef's arsenal of Viking appliances, a Seven Series eight-burner gas range, a Five Series downdraft cooktop system, and a Double Café wall oven, alongside a Viking microwave, Samsung refrigerator, new Samsung dishwasher, and Avanti wine cooler. A one-year-old LG front-load washer and dryer, set on platforms, wait in the laundry room. On cold nights, the family room's brick, wood-burning fireplace, fitted with a Hearthstone Clydesdale insert, warms the entire house in the old-fashioned way, one that never goes out of style. A whole-house generator, fed by natural gas, stands ready for any season, and multiple heating zones let every corner of the home find its own comfort. A formal dining room, sunroom, first-floor office, and full walkout basement round out the main level, while upstairs, two more bedrooms share a full bath alongside two unfinished attic spaces, one accessed through a door off the hallway near the third bedroom and the other through a door at the back of the fourth bedroom, each one an open invitation to dream up a future studio, playroom, or simply more room to breathe. A two-car, oversized, finished built-in garage completes the home. Step outside and the land itself tells a story of patience and care. Deer-fenced rows of blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries, plants three years and older, have had time to settle in and thrive. Eight varieties of table grapes climb trellised rows built for harvest season, while peach and cherry trees promise their own summer bounty. There is an established vegetable garden, a chicken coop, and a farm stand along Craig Road that locals already know by name, ready to welcome an OPEN sign once again. Every accessory structure on the property was built after the current owners arrived, and the grounds themselves wrap around both sides of the pond, with mown paths inviting long, unhurried walks. Set in Readington Township, Hunterdon County, and just a short drive from Flemington and Route 202, 12 Craig Road offers the rare kind of privacy that still feels close to everything. For a buyer who has always wanted a piece of land where the work is already done, this is the place to plant roots, or simply pull up a chair and watch the seasons turn.
