About This Property

Splendidly set on 108± acres, ‘Clover Mill Farm’ is a rare equestrian offering in one of Tewksbury Township’s most coveted locations.
The property is farmland assessed and offered as two contiguous lots with the potential for further subdivision. The main residence is a rambling farmhouse, circa 1840, that has been lovingly restored and thoughtfully updated over the years. This antique gem is beautifully sited on 22 of the 108 ± acres. Gorgeous views of the pond and surrounding countryside are found throughout the three story clapboard house. Many of the original architectural details, including seven fireplaces and wide plank pumpkin pine floors, have been salvaged and showcased. The spacious floor plan features a gracious front-to-back entry hall centered between a formal living room and a large, lovely dining room that is adjoined by a fully equipped butler’s pantry. The library features walls of custom cherry cabinetry topped with bookshelves and a fireplace that is fitted with a Jotul clean burning wood stove. Large picture windows in each of these rooms capture views of the pond, paddocks, and barn. A recent renovation created a cook’s kitchen with appliances from Miele, SubZero and Viking, and walls of custom cabinetry. A center island topped with granite on one side and an antique pine farmhouse table on the other is an ideal work station for the serious cook. Imported European tiles and a delightful hand painted farmhouse scene form an interesting backsplash. Wide French doors and walls of windows form a sun-filled alcove that serves as the back entrance to the residence and continues to the breakfast room. The laundry room and mud room are both located in the kitchen wing, providing additional storage and access to the back staircase. Two powder rooms conveniently serve the public rooms on the first floor. On the second floor, a four room master suite with two fireplaces and a luxurious bathroom fills one end of the hall. There are three generous bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a large office and several closets spaced along the winding hallway. The third floor offers a fifth en suite bedroom with a walk-in cedar closet. The basement is unfinished and offers additional storage. A bluestone patio surrounds a recently constructed lap pool behind the house. A spring fed pond, pump house and a stone spring house are located close to the main house, along with a two-story storage shed that contains the generator and a one-car detached garage. Additional dependencies include a three bedroom caretaker’s cottage that originated as a Sears Craftsman cottage. Equestrian facilities include the main barn, red pole barn, hay barn, shed row, outdoor riding ring, ten paddocks plus a small rehabilitation paddock, two turn out sheds, a cross country course, dressage ring, and a water jump. The main barn was constructed in 2002 and features state-of-the art construction materials and a geothermal heating system. The eight stalls measure (12’ x 14’) with powder coated metal on the doors, and rubber mats under the shavings. A wide center aisle allow for trunks and horses. There is a heated tack room with saddle storage, feed room, full kitchenette and a half bath. On the second floor, there is an office above the tack room, a cat walk that overlooks the stalls and clerestory windows that allow for abundant natural light. Beautiful arched French doors in the tack room open to a flagstone patio that overlooks the farm. Tewksbury Township is located in the northeastern corner of Hunterdon County. This community is celebrated for its rolling hillside and pastoral estates, yet it is convenient to route 78 and approximately 45 miles from New York City and 35 miles from Newark International Airport.
