Dating back to the 1680s, the storied estate known as Forkland stands as one of Salem County’s most treasured historic residences—so distinctive that it had been verified by This Old House. Set amid sweeping farmland, this remarkable property blends preserved early‑American craftsmanship with the comfort of modern living. The original 1680s log cabin remains at the heart of the home, where authentic exposed log walls create an atmosphere rich with history. In the 1790s, a brick addition was constructed, showcasing four corner fireplaces that anchor the home with timeless character. The colonial kitchen assumes the character of a true 17th-century workroom, preserved within the original cabin walls and centered around a commanding hearth that once sustained daily life. Its great fireplace—still crowned with the early cedar mantle—retains the iron fittings and period hardware that would have supported cooking, heating, and the rhythms of an early colonial household. Custom cabinetry crafted from heart pine reclaimed from the attic eaves adds warmth and authenticity. Set on 7 picturesque acres of open fields and wooded land that backs to Swedes Run Stream, the property offers both privacy and natural beauty. Inside, the home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and approximately 3,232 square feet of living space. It boasts built-in cabinetry, shelving, exposed beams, an enclosed porch/breezeway ideal for relaxation, and a finished walk-up attic for storage or additional living space. A rare opportunity to own a piece of early American history—lovingly preserved, thoughtfully updated, and nationally recognized.
