About This Home

As of January 2025

Welcome to Poplar Ridge Farm, an equestrian estate on 57 preserved acres nestled in the Sourland Mountain Ridge, consisting of a handsome, 3-level stucco on stone Colonial dating back to the early 19th century, as well as a 2-story 18th century Carriage House. Both homes have been newly renovated, providing for a total of 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, and more than 4,216 square feet of living space. The main residence, fully reimagined and expanded by its current owners, is a study in understated elegance, artfully blending the home’s old-world charm and historic detail with a multitude of modern luxuries and comforts. The recently added kitchen is a chef’s paradise, with a cathedral ceiling, natural quartzite countertops, Wolf 8-burner double-oven gas range, Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, Bosch dishwasher, professional-grade Zephyr range hood, and custom-built cabinetry by Cider Press Woodworks. The adjoining dining area is open and light-filled, with access to a spacious back terrace with an outdoor fireplace and views of the expansive back yard. Adjacent to the kitchen are a walk-in pantry, a powder room, and a beautifully designed mudroom with generous storage, and a cleverly hidden laundry cabinet (Electrolux washer & dryer). The kitchen’s wide-plank white oak flooring continues into the heart of the home, where the intimate living room awaits, boasting a cozy gas fireplace, deep-set windows for natural light, and a gorgeous, exposed stone wall that serves as a lovely reminder of the home’s rich history. The newly-designed owners’ suite, located at the far end of the main floor, features a large picture window and French door that opens to another terrace, the ideal spot for morning coffee or late afternoon reading. Beyond the bedroom is a spacious dressing area, a marble-floored bath with dual vanities, water closet, and a sleek glass shower. On the home’s upper level you’ll find original refinished pine floors throughout, with two charming guest bedrooms that share a hall bath. The lower level, with an abundance of natural light and walkout access to the backyard, is ideal for a media center, home office, workout space, and playroom. Just beyond the main residence is a 3-car garage, and further up the lane stands the charming carriage house, beautifully transformed into a luxurious retreat, featuring new James Hardie siding, new central heat/AC, refinished original pine floors and exposed beams. The main level includes a kitchen, dining area, living room, wood-burning stove and wet-bar, while the loft-like upper level offers a spacious bedroom with vaulted ceilings, laundry cabinet (Electrolux W/D) and a renovated bath with gleaming walk-in shower. As you venture deeper into the property, a gravel drive through the towering tulip poplars and beeches leads to the hidden barn. This impressive structure features six horse stalls, a large hay loft, wash stall, heated tack room with hot water, a dedicated well and separate electric service. There are 7 grazing paddocks (6 equipped with water hydrants and electrical outlets), 2 dry paddocks, 2 double-wide and 2 single-wide run-in sheds. An outdoor riding ring with lighting completes the equestrian experience, all set against a backdrop of mature woodlands and numerous trails to explore. While the surrounding preserved properties ensure seclusion, it’s only minutes to the fine restaurants, markets and galleries of Princeton, Lambertville, & New Hope. 1 hour to Philadelphia, & 1 1⁄2 hours to NYC. Total renovation by Sullivan Building & Design includes Multi-Zone Heat/AC; new Designer Asphalt Roof; new Marvin Double Hung Clad Windows; new Burnham Boiler; new Weil-McLain Water Heater; Generac Whole-House Generator; and much, much more. (A complete list of upgrades & features is available upon request.) This estate is more than a home... it’s a lifestyle. Don’t miss your chance to own this one-of-a-kind property in one of New Jersey’s most picturesque settings.
