Historic Countryside Retreat on 20 Farm-Assessed Acres Constructed by one of Long Valley's earliest settlers, this impressively restored circa 1750 stone manor is one of the area's rare Neighbours houses. Sited within the German Valley Historic District, the home is surrounded by 20 farm-assessed acres with direct access to the Columbia Trail. Artfully renovated, the three-bedroom, two-and-one-half-bath floor plan is filled with natural light and original detailing. A substantial three-story red bank barn on the property can be used for entertaining, farm animals or vehicle storage. Scenic acreage includes an in-ground pool, open fields, woodlands, native plantings, meandering stone walls and post and rail fencing. Early American design elements merge effortlessly with 21st-century updates, resulting in a truly unique homestead. Exposed ceiling beams, wide plank wood floors, deep-set windows, Jersey winder stairs and three fieldstone fireplaces are among the vintage appointments, while the stylish baths and gourmet kitchen are up-to-the-minute amenities. A charming small bridge spanning the South Branch of the Raritan River leads to a long drive accessing this sheltered home. In the original wing of this expanded residence, a living and dining room combination is set under hand-hewn ceiling beams and warmed by the glow of an original stone fireplace. A modern family room is anchored by the dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Graceful features in the spacious kitchen include a furniture-grade center island, custom cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances and glass doors to a stone-walled terrace. The cathedral ceiling primary suite connects to a dressing room, spa-inspired bath and private sun deck overlooking the refreshing pool. Two more bright and airy bedrooms share another full, updated bath. This historic home is ideal as a weekend getaway or premier year-round residence.
