This 2011 custom home offers 3,142 square feet of finished living space and sits on 17.25 acres bordering Belleplain State Forest, providing a rare combination of privacy, acreage, and immediate access to outdoor recreation. The property offers approximately 1.5 miles proximity to the state forest’s extensive trail system, known for hiking, biking, nature paths, swimming and camping. It is also located approximately 15 minutes from the new Trout National Golf Course and within 20 minutes of Sea Isle City, Stone Harbor, and Avalon beaches, giving the property both rural seclusion and convenient access to coastal destinations. The main level features hardwood flooring and a functional, open layout. The kitchen flows into the dining space and living room, which includes a wood-burning fireplace, while a second gas fireplace in the formal living room adds additional comfort. A first-floor guest suite with a full bathroom and a wet bar provides flexible use for visitors. The main level also includes a laundry room equipped with a built-in dog-wash station and a convenient half bathroom. The second floor offers three bedrooms plus a nursery/office located directly off the primary bedroom and complete with its own closet. A full bathroom serves the upper-level bedrooms. Storage options are generous throughout the home. Significant property upgrades include a French drain and cement floor in the basement, 400-amp electrical service (200 amps to the house and 200 amps to the barn), a whole-house backup generator, and two HVAC systems—one serving the first floor (1 year old) and one serving the second floor. The detached garage was built in 2013 and provides additional vehicle or equipment storage. Outdoor features include a heated in-ground pool that is fully fenced, along with deer fencing surrounding the flower fields. The 26×60 barn, built in 2019, includes a concrete floor with a removable wood overlay that allows for easy conversion into stables or workshop space.
