About 900 Canal Rd
With the D&R Canal edging one side and preserved natural land bordering the 3 other sides, this peaceful, nearly 9-acre offering has that worlds-away country feel within 47 miles of NYC and 8 miles of Princeton. The masterfully converted bank barn has views of the working Christmas tree farm, included as part of this offering and on a lot of its own, adjacent to a pond and stream. Presenting the chance to live in one-of-a-kind comfort, the dramatic stone and clapboard barn is full of rustic contemporary allure thanks to the talents of renowned local architect, Jerry Ford. Huge beams accentuate soaring ceilings and oversized windows welcome in light and protected views of the grounds. Some space is wide open, ideal for gathering groups. A library, featuring floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, and a study with a reading nook, are cozy spots to escape. The upper bedroom suites are beyond spacious, while the ground floor offers guests the independence of a self-contained apartment. With three fireplaces, multiple decks and no neighbors in sight, this place is just as magical on a snowy day as it is on a starry night! Whether you have multi-generational needs, dream of working the land or seek a dramatic rural getaway where all can convene comfortably, this property represents an extraordinary opportunity.
