About 1570 HARBOURTON ROCKTOWN RD

Bring your vision and unlock the incredible potential of this one-of-a-kind 1800s converted barn, privately nestled on approximately 10 picturesque acres in desirable Hopewell Township. Rich in history and architectural character, this remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to restore and personalize an estate unlike anything else on the market. Offering approximately 5,600 square feet of living space, the main home features 4 spacious bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, soaring ceilings, exposed hand-hewn beams, random-width hardwood flooring, expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the home with natural light, and a wood-burning stove that creates a warm and inviting gathering space. The attached guest/in-law suite adds exceptional flexibility with 2 additional bedrooms, a full eat-in kitchen, living room, full bathroom, and abundant storage—ideal for multigenerational living, extended guests, or potential rental income. Outside, the opportunities are just as impressive. The property offers approximately 10 private acres with a private drive, wooded surroundings, open space, an existing pond, and the framework for what was once a beautiful gardener's retreat. Whether you envision horses, a hobby farm, expansive gardens, recreational space, or simply a peaceful country estate, the setting provides an incredible canvas to create something truly special. While the home has experienced deferred maintenance and is ready for updating, its extraordinary setting, size, and character provide an exceptional foundation for restoration. Investors, contractors, and buyers with imagination will recognize the tremendous opportunity to breathe new life into this truly special property. With the proper approvals, buyers may also wish to explore possibilities such as a bed and breakfast, home-based business, or income-producing opportunities. Enjoy the tranquility of country living without sacrificing convenience. Located just minutes from Lambertville, New Hope, Princeton, Lawrence Township, I-95, Route 29, and Route 31, this is a rare opportunity with this combination of acreage, history, and potential seldom become available.
