Property Description
Built by a Revolutionary War colonel in 1795, the stone farmhouse boasts original wood floors, deep window sills, period moldings and impressive ceiling heights. The formal entry hall opens to a spacious living room, with a marble fireplace and built-ins, as well as a family room with a wood stove and surround sound entertainment. Designed with entertaining in mind, the large dining room offers built-in storage and access to the butler's pantry. The kitchen is a chef's dream, with antiqued cabinetry, stainless appliances, granite and butcher block countertops, and a brick wood-burning fireplace as the focal point. The perfectly poised breakfast and sitting rooms extend this remarkable gathering space, offering superb views of the sparkling pool, wisteria covered pergola, outdoor entertaining kitchen, and terraced garden.
Modern luxuries are found in bright and inviting bedrooms including a soothing primary bedroom suite with dual custom walk-in closets, laundry, full sauna and sun porch bathed in warm natural light. The en suite bath includes dual vanities, a claw foot tub, and spa shower. A second suite is on this floor, as well as two additional large bedrooms that share a hall bath. The finished third floor is an unexpected delight, with a wide sitting room, two large bedrooms, and a hall bath.The lower level includes a wine cellar along with a tasting room.
State of the art equine facilities include the restored original bank barn from 1803. The tiled silo has been meticulously renovated to form the feed room. Five large stalls are fitted with metal kick plates and rubber mats, and the aisle and wash area is floored in stylish brick pavers.The heated tack room has ample space above with endless possibilities. There are five fenced pastures and a round pen. The 80' x 200' indoor riding arena built in 2010 has been designed to match the elegant style of the house and barn, with state of the art footing and screened windows on all sides to bring in the light and breezes.
Lovely gardens encircle the house, pool and outside kitchen with perennial beds featuring roses, echinacea, rudbeckia, hostas, lavender, clematis, geraniums and lilies which intermingle with hollies, yews and hydrangeas. In the rose garden stands a sundial that was custom made in England. The farmer's milk house and carriage house with antique cobblestone courtyard stand proudly as reminders of days gone by. A synthetic turf tennis court is tucked into the hillside and a variety of plum, pear, apple and crabapple trees invite one to stroll through the orchard. The entire property is solarized with the panels discreetly hidden from view, another illustration of the harmonious blend of old and new at Molasses Creek Farm.
For more than 200 years passersby have admired this graceful residence and picturesque farm located just 90 minutes from Manhattan and an hour from Philadelphia. The charming shops, innovative restaurants and cultural events of the Delaware River villages are a short drive from Molasses Creek Farm.
