Harding Twp., NJ 07935

Take a step back into history with this beautiful 17-acre property on a charming country lane in Harding Township. All the storybook ingredients of the township’s rich past are there: rolling meadows, traditional red farm buildings, an apple orchard, chicken coop, a farmer’s cottageand a three bedroom barn apartment. Renovated into its current configuration in the 1970s, the main three-bedroom house is a rambling clapboard structure with a farmhouse feel to it. There are three fireplaces, a parquet floor, and a grandly proportioned living room.. A studio sits above the two-car garage.

The barn, which was once a horse barn, has been converted into a three-bedroom apartment with storage beneath. The charming two-bedroom farmer’s cottage, whose core dates back to the 17th century, has a wrap-around porch and brick patio—the perfect aspect from which to enjoy the undisturbed sounds of nature in this quiet corner of rural paradise. The nearby kennel was once the home of the legendary Spring Valley Hounds.

Behind the property’s old apple orchard are acres of fields, trimmed by hedgerows of trees. Thanks to the foresight of the present owners, a conservation easement with a two-acre exclusion zone for construction of a home has been placed on the property. Perfectly situated, the exclusion zone is slightly elevated to catch the breezes and the views. Harding Township’s aggressive land preservation policy means that much of the adjacent land is preserved, so the rural ambience of this magnificent location is ensured forever.
