Imagine a place where you have total privacy yet are just ten minutes to quaint and picturesque Delaware River towns featuring charming shops and dining. A place where you can breathe, run, work, rest and relax. A place where you have plenty of room to raise your own garden vegetables, fruit or organic meat. Or instead, just visit the local market and try theirs. This home has lots of living space and private guest suites for visitors. It has bonus rooms for hobbies, gaming and movie nights. Once a blacksmith barn, the pool house with a full bath and laundry facility offers many potential uses. Balconies overlooking pristine countryside views and gardens blooming throughout the seasons create a setting reminiscent of an English manor. Retire to the patios and porches to watch the fireflies or sit by the fire pit. In the summer, a saltwater pool offers total refreshment after hiking or biking on local paths, or after an afternoon ride on your favorite horse. There are well-marked trails, stalls, sheds and secure watered paddocks for equestrian or livestock use. Shoot basketball hoops in the driveway and easily entertain large groups since there is ample parking space. Security gates ensure peace and privacy for you and your guests. Inside, the gourmet chef's kitchen allows for large or small gatherings and home-cooked meals. The copper range hood and wine racks are lovely touches, while the warming and refrigerator/freezer drawers add to the functionality. In the cooler months enjoy any of the home's five fireplaces that burn gas or wood. Stormy weather is not a problem; the entire home is served by a rapid 40 KW automatic backup generator. Well water is filtered by an Aquasana water filtration system. Radiant heated floors, multiple zones of heat and air conditioning and a sealed floor three-car garage are additional amenities. Blue Ribbon schools are nearby, and options for sports and outdoor activities abound. This architecturally pleasing home is an ideal countryside retreat. Bus and train service to New York City is available daily, or drive to Manhattan via Interstate 78 in less than 90 minutes.
