Welcome to iconic Statira Farm, a spectacular equestrian property that resonates with the lovely surrounding natural beauty! Prime acreage lends itself to continuing the storied past of a cattle farm or horse boarding facility. Perfectly situated on 46.9 acres in Hunterdon County’s Kingwood Township, this tranquil property offers purchase of not only a lifestyle but a legacy. Incorporating historic elements of the existing property with modern design & amenities, this turnkey farm is in essence it’s own ecosystem seamlessly operating in a harmonious balance. Equestrian facilities are impressive with the 110 x 63 COVERED CLEARSPAN RIDING ARENA with a sand&rubber base footing and overhead lighting taking the crown. The stately main barn in Gambrel style with gravel courtyard is a step away featuring 3 12x12 stalls in a bank barn shed row configuration, tack room & feed room plus hot/cold water utility. Ascend the stairs to find a fully functional second floor with electric and heat utilities which was previously used as a woodworking studio but can easily transform into a hobby, craft or antique storage area. Finally, the third floor offers a traditional hay loft area which could also transform into a casual entertaining space. A second detached horse barn offers 2 standard stalls & 1 oversize foaling stall plus storage and is across from a whimsical “red barn” used mainly for equipment storage as well as a neighboring detached garage. A short ride takes you to the additional 135 x 100 OUTDOOR RIDING ARENA with river sand footing. At the heart of the farm is a grand historic 4 bedroom 2 bath Colonial farmhouse with a whimsical front porch fronting the length of the house including the original stone home circa 1740...an entertainment & relaxation destination! The first floor features an inviting entry foyer, modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, formal dining room with built-in cabinets, a delightful “pub” room, formal sitting room with original decorative fireplace & hallway full bath. As a bonus, a recent addition to further enhance the square footage of the home is the spacious family room with radiant heat floors and doors to access to the backyard patio. The second floor embraces this addition with an expansive primary bedroom suite overlooking the scenery of the farm. This level also includes 3 additional bedrooms, an office with Jersey winder stair access to lower level, hallway full bath & laundry/utility room. Step outside to a delightful setting for pure enjoyment! Follow the paths to walk or ride across lush acreage which features multiple grazing pastures dotted with run-in sheds for your equine athletes & companions plus a bonus 2 stall shedrow in the upper field. Do not miss the property trails which extend to the property lines for ability to ride and gallop your entire property! While on the upper tier of the pristine acreage, enjoy views of the 3 self-sufficient hay fields or catch a glimpse of local wildlife. While this property has been finely curated to enhance the equine experience, the features of this functional farm can easily transcend other agricultural endeavors such as a boutique livestock farm, heritage crop farm, private vineyard, herbary, apiary and onward. As a highlight, the property includes a 3 acre exclusion area from the total farmland preservation acres (43.9 acres). Within minutes to the fine culture and dining of Frenchtown, Stockton & Lambertville or cross the storied river to trendy New Hope! A location that cannot be duplicated, this majestic horse farm is a treasure for generations to come!
