Auction. Bidding currently open. Bidding ends May 14th. Previously listed at $6,950,000. Selling Without Reserve. A true rarity. Unrivaled in its beauty, tranquility and privacy, nearly 1000 acres of preserved land embrace Sycamore Creek, a magnificent 31+ acre estate and natural paradise just 10 minutes from downtown Princeton. Equal to its extraordinary setting, the home is a work of art - a remarkable blending of an 18th century farmhouse with exciting modern renovations and additions by noted New York architects Stamberg and Aferiat. This singular property overlooks Stony Brook and offers romantic views of 2 ponds. Pool and charming outbuildings, including a 19th century barn, tenant cottage, and attached guesthouse.
