Savor the quiet privacy, abundant space and boundless outdoor enjoyment that only country living can offer here at this 31-acre Hopewell Valley property, where a gracious home with grandly scaled rooms is the crown jewel. Nearby, but completely separate, a 4-bay garage is a dream come true for car enthusiasts, as well as anyone who needs dedicated space for a hobby. In the distance, beyond walled gardens, relaid stone patios and the freshly paved driveway, a barn opens the door to even more new pursuits. To make the country estate experience complete, there’s a designated area reserved for a future pool and cabana. A new cedar shake roof caps the enlarged and carefully maintained house, fitted with many new windows and full of one-of-a-kind spaces to please every member of even the largest household. A cathedral great room with a massive stone fireplace flows into an equally airy casual dining space, inviting everyone to gather together. With a sunny circular breakfast bay, the kitchen is also sized for a crowd. The floor plan includes plenty of areas that easily evolve with an ever-changing lifestyle, including a skylit playroom that can serve as an office and a pub-like library that enthralls all who enter. The elegant living room, along with a sunroom lined with French doors, could be reimagined as a restful and romantic first floor primary suite. To supplement the home’s original comfortably sized bedrooms, a separate multi-room wing privately hosts holiday guests or a very lucky au pair. Set up your gym in the finished basement or claim the adjoining cottage as a space devoted to wellness. There’s no limit to the flexibility or the opportunities for personalization. A caretaker and a housekeeper, familiar with every inch of the home and grounds, are already in place, making the move and any potential renovations much easier. With a rich past and more space than ever imagined, both inside and out, this blissful bucolic property is a rare find and an exceptional value!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
