Minutes from the center of Princeton, Willow Gate Farm, comprised of a restored 18th century stone manor house, several quaint outbuildings and a Waterscapes pool on 16 acres, presents a chance to preserve a refined country lifestyle that has all but disappeared from our modern world. A gated driveway edging Princeton in Lawrenceville opens to an award-winning landscape design leading to a new portico entry. As much for its stunning decor as for its rich heritage, the house was recently featured on The Historical Society of Princeton's famous house tour. A hand-painted mural, one of many artistic accents, ascends a formal staircase open to the living room with 2 working fireplaces. Past an intimate library, the c. 1750 dining room hosts the original cooking hearth. An added sunroom and the casual areas, including the cook's kitchen, are infused with warmth and whimsy. Attention to detail is carried upstairs, where 5 renovated bathrooms serve a bevy of adaptable bedrooms.

EP-2
Environmental Protection 2 District
The Environmental Protection 2 district is designed for low intensity uses primarily in the northwest area of the municipality where poor water yields and strata for septic systems dictate large lot development in an area of little or no public infrastructure and severe environmental constraints, including but not limited to, a seasonal high water table, shallow depth to bedrock, and steep slopes along the Stony Brook. Further, the purpose of the EP-2 district is to protect the environmental resources and qualities of this area, maintain the rural character of roads and scenic views, and retain farmland. The EP-2 designation is contrasted with the EP-1 district by being underlain with the Brunswick Shale or Stockton Sandstone geologic formations as depicted in the adopted Master Plan which yield slightly better water supplies. Both the EP-1 and EP-2 districts, though poorly suited for development, are exceptional areas for non-irrigated agriculture. Because of this last factor, clustering of residential units is preferred whether under the provisions of this section or 428.
