260 Pottersville Road Chester Twp., NJ 07930

Black River Farm - A 52-acre preserved farm located in a bucolic section of Chester Township that is renown for its country estates and equestrian properties. The land is sublime and surrounded by parkland and other preserved farms, ensuring that the tranquility and natural beauty of Black River Farm will remain in perpetuity. A long gravel driveway crosses fenced pastureland and a meandering brook to reach the main residence - a stately antique Colonial Revival. This enchanting home was originally built in the 1700's, expanded in the mid-1800's and has been restored and renovated over the past twenty years by the current homeowners. Throughout the home, modern amenities have been thoughtfully blended with many of the original architectural details. The kitchen was expanded to include a large island, ample cabinetry, informal dining area and a sitting room with fireplace. Outbuildings and other amenities include a two-story cottage with two bedrooms and two full bathrooms that was renovated in 2022, an antique (circa 1890) two-story timber frame bank barn used for social events, a pool pavilion with an open lounge that adjoins an outdoor kitchen and spa, a detached three-car garage, an equipment barn with garage space for two more vehicles, a renovated corn crib, a chicken coop, a fieldstone spring house and a heated Gunite pool framed by a level lawn and bluestone patio. Throughout the farm, there are spellbinding views of this incredible setting.
