Just 2.7 miles from the quaint streets of Hopewell Borough and less than 8 miles to Princeton, this meticulously updated mini farm on over four acres is redefining country living with incredible renovations that were all completed in the last four years. With a perfect mix of lifestyle amenities and high-end creature comforts, this home is a standout in Hopewell Valley’s real estate landscape. Grounds include a party barn—a versatile space for hosting everything from milestone celebrations to weekend get-togethers.

Whether it’s basketball, pickleball, or roller hockey, this court is ready for action. Inside, the transformation is nothing short of spectacular.

Water quality has improved thanks to a new softener and UV filter system installed in 2025. A Vivint smart home system was installed in 2024, offering integrated security and automation. The electric panel was replaced and rewired in 2024, supporting the home’s modern infrastructure.

Close to downtown Princeton, this preserved farm with beautiful mature-trees and turnkey equestrian facilities tells a story that stretches back nearly half a century. Through decades of devotion, the same owners have transformed it into one of the region's most thoughtfully designed equestrian and preserved farm properties available today. At its center stands a meticulously maintained 28-stall stable, ventilated and crafted for any equestrian discipline, with a viewing lounge complete with a half bath and office. The original barn still has many stalls but could easily be converted into any farm use. A large outbuilding with oversized triple bay entry houses the farm equipment and machine shop while the surrounding land unfolds into many pastures and paddocks all with secure board fencing, equipped with automatic waterers, three run in sheds that can be easily moved, two Olympic-size sand arenas ideal for any equestrian discipline and a path leading directly into the Cherry Brook Preserve with miles of trails. Inside the barn, find imported stall fronts with automatic waterers with warm winter water, two tack up stalls with solariums, and a tack and feed room. The insulated indoor arena with sand footing, the imported four-horsewalker and the round pen complete a training environment built for every season and any equestrian or agricultural use. The farm is located just 2.2 miles from Princeton Show Jumping which hosts major shows. Beyond the equestrian amenities, a farmhouse adds its own charm with two bedrooms, a cozy office with fireplace, a large mudroom, a family room warmed by a stove, a heated sunporch and a generous dine-in kitchen, all set behind its own gated driveway for privacy. Every inch of this 27+acre preserved farmstead speaks to years of meticulous care and quiet pride, a legacy now ready for its next steward to continue the story. An additional four-bedroom, 2.5 bath custom home on three adjoining acres with a heated saltwater pool is available for sale separately.
