26 Mill Lane Branchville, NJ 07826

Centered in beautiful Branchville NJ, 26 Mill Lane, a rare farm property with an historic farmhouse and three acre pond is located adjacent to Culver, Kittitinny and Owassa Lakes in Frankford Township, just minutes to the Kittatinny, Pocono and Catskill Mountains, the Delaware River and surrounded by Stokes State Forest. Comprised of almost 40 acres, Mill Pond Farm is more than a property, it is an entire ecosystem: you will proudly own protected wetlands, rolling hills of oak and tulip trees, four organic paddocks and groomed hiking/riding trails that meander throughout the entire property. You will also enjoy your private stream-fed three-acre pond that offers endless entertainment including swimming, fishing and ice skating, all with majestic views to protected hills. All of this is just a short stroll to diners, bars and shopping astride Culver Lake and nearby Newton, along with access to the protected Delaware River National Recreation Area and Stokes State Forest. 26 Mill Lane is the most unique opportunity in recent memory to own significant acreage with a farm exemption in northern New Jersey, just 1.5 hours to NYC. 26 Mill Lane is not just protected farmland; at its heart it is a beloved home that has not been on the market in over 45 years. A gravel private driveway leads to the porte-de cochere where a three-car garage with a full attic (potential art studio or extra living space) faces the 2,200 sf c 1930 main house, a sturdy and handsome farmhouse that has been maintained in contractor-quality condition, with many upgrades over the years. This charming home is a comfy yet classical abode which has been newly painted (including copper-infused rain gutters and cupola) and surrounded by flagstone planters with tasteful mature plantings. The four bedroom/ two bathroom (Primary Suite + Home Office on the ground level) has plenty of space to accommodate a family of any size including an eat-in kitchen; but the heart of the home is a wood-paneled Living Room/Dining Room/Sun Room with a wood-burning stone fireplace that offers sightlines to the breathtaking grounds and pond from every room. The upper floor includes three bedrooms and a bathroom. Natural light streams through abundant windows allowing inspirational views from every room.
