Close to downtown Princeton, this preserved farm with beautiful mature-trees and turnkey equestrian facilities tells a story that stretches back nearly half a century. Through decades of devotion, the same owners have transformed it into one of the region's most thoughtfully designed equestrian and preserved farm properties available today. At its center stands a meticulously maintained 28-stall stable, ventilated and crafted for any equestrian discipline, with a viewing lounge complete with a half bath and office. The original barn still has many stalls but could easily be converted into any farm use. A large outbuilding with oversized triple bay entry houses the farm equipment and machine shop while the surrounding land unfolds into many pastures and paddocks all with secure board fencing, equipped with automatic waterers and three run-in sheds that can be easily moved. Two Olympic-size sand arenas, a four-horse walker, and a round pen are ideal for any equestrian discipline. A path leads directly into the Cherry Brook Preserve with miles of trails. The farm is just 2.2 miles from Princeton Show Jumping which hosts major shows. A charming farmhouse, set behind a private gated drive, includes two bedrooms, an office with a fireplace, a large mudroom, a family room with a stove, a heated sunporch, and a generous dine-in kitchen.
