Amwell Ridge Farm is sited on 135 preserved acres in East Amwell Township with gentle rolling hills and sweeping country vistas in every direction. It's most recent use has been an equestrian facility but this private oasis offers endless opportunities for the next steward of this impressive property. Whether you are looking for crop use, animal use, your very own vineyard, or to simply enjoy peaceful country living, you will find it here within commuting distance of Philadelphia and New York. Located on Rocktown Rd with frontage on Wertsville and Linvale Roads, the grounds include a framed carriage house with 4 bays, cinderblock barn, two Morton buildings, indoor and outdoor riding arena, frame bank barn, and circa 1800 Colonial farmhouse with attached cottage. The 3 bedroom, 2 ½ bath farmhouse has many charming details intact including Dutch door entrance, exposed beams, wide pumpkin pine floors, family room walk-in fireplace and numerous built-in cupboards. The two story adjoining 1bed/1 bath cottage with living room, dining area and updated kitchen is well suited for farm laborers or guests. The riding facilities encompass a frame bank barn with 14 box stalls, tack room, heated wash stall, and considerable storage in the loft. An indoor riding arena (80x180) with overhead LED lighting and heated viewing lounge is used year round. There is also an outdoor arena (100x200), two run in sheds, fenced exercise paddocks & meadows. Apart from the riding facilities, there are acres of tillable land, a pond, separate 5+acre building lot (with conservation easement) , access to the Amwell Valley Trail System and a vineyard that produces award winning single vineyard wines processed at the neighboring Unionville Vineyards. Conveniently located in Hunterdon County with quick access to Princeton, Lambertville & Flemington (Routes 202, 31 and 295), Mercer County Airport, highly ranked Hunterdon School District, quaint villages and outdoor adventure!
