PROPERTY OVERVIEW
Hunting Creek Farm was once part of Hamilton Farm, a 5,000-acre farm built by James Cox Brady that encompassed land in Morris, Somerset, and Hunterdon counties. Today, this equestrian farm spans across 43.39 acres of preserved land. The property is beautifully situated on one of Tewksbury Township’s most coveted scenic roads in an area that is cherished for its natural beauty and synonymous with the Essex Hunt country. It is surrounded by hundreds of acres of farmland, ensuring privacy and bucolic views.
The farm consists of a custom Colonial residence that was built in 1978, and renovated by the current homeowners after purchasing the property in 2011. The three-story historic stone and clapboard barn dates back to the late 1800s and offers seven stalls and a caretaker’s quarters on the second floor. An outdoor riding arena, a two-stall shed row adjoined by a small paddock, a tractor shed, and approximately twenty-six acres of open and fenced pastures with a run-in shed complete the equestrian infrastructure. In addition, there are woodlands with trails behind the residence and a ten-acre hayfield that offer additional benefits for equestrians. A small creek behind the hayfield crosses under Cold Brook Road and flows into the Lamington River.

RESIDENTIAL FEATURES
A long gravel drive from Cold Brook Road leads past the historic barn and fenced pastures, through an allée of flowering cherry trees, and culminates in front of the main residence. After purchasing the farm in 2011, the Colonial home was thoughtfully updated under the watchful eye of the current homeowners and a respected local builder. The end result is a newer home with the soul and ambiance of an older home. It offers fifteen rooms with detailed millwork, random-width wide plank pine floors, four wood-burning fireplaces, five bedrooms, six updated bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen designed and built by TrueLeaf Kitchen, and a wonderful floor plan for entertaining. Views of the surrounding countryside are captured throughout the home through an array of custom Pella windows.
The exterior of the home was also enhanced with the addition of a wide covered porch that provides a delightful view of the grazing horses in the open fields that surround the residence. Hardie Plank siding in a soothing sage color is accented with oversized half round dark bronze gutters and leaders. Standing seam metal roofs with snow guards blend beautifully with an asphalt shingle roof. A large cupola topped with a copper weathervane punctuates the garage wing.
Established perennials and flowering shrubbery frame the foundation of the residence, the front porch, and a wide bluestone patio behind the home. These established beds provide seasonal color without obstructing the views of this bucolic setting.

FARM STRUCTURES
MAIN BARN (CIRCA LATE 1800s)
This historic barn is an exquisite combination of form and function - beautiful to look at and the ideal size for those seeking to pursue equestrian activities. It was built in the late 1800s, and was originally four stories high and built as a modified bank barn. The building was renovated in the 1970’s, when the ground floor was converted to horse stalls, and a second story caretaker’s quarters was added.
Today, there are seven horse stalls on the bottom level, along with a heated wash stall with hot and cold water, laundry room, tack room, blanket room, feed room, and half bathroom. A cobblestone ramp leads to the center of the second floor, where there are still large openings on both sides of the structure with big sliding doors. There is a large workshop on the second floor with a staircase down to the stalls. The second floor also has a finished common room with access to the one-bedroom caretaker’s quarters and access to a finished storage room that doubles as an extra bedroom.
The top floor offers storage for hay and the convenience of a built-in chute that delivers hay to the bottom level. There is also a walk-in cedar closet (10’ x 10’) on the top floor above the caretaker’s quarters. The fieldstone walls along the perimeter of the foundation were redone by a skilled mason who was hired by the current homeowners. Barn has its own well and septic system.
CARETAKER’S QUARTERS (IN MAIN BARN)
This one-bedroom dependency was completely renovated by the current homeowners between 2012 and 2018. It can be accessed from the common room on the second floor of the barn or from an outside staircase that leads to a deck that adjoins the living area. It features a galley kitchen with wood cabinets with newer countertops, a wide plank pine floor, a full size electric stove, full size refrigerator, and updated light fixtures. The full bathroom has an updated vanity, commode, stall shower with newer faucet, and a tile floor. The bedroom is large enough to accommodate a king size bed and has one closet and a wide plank pine floor. The living and dining areas are open to one another, and feature a cast iron propane stove for auxiliary heat, a ceiling fan, and access to the deck. All windows but two fixed windows were replaced with Andersen windows. Hardie Plank siding, central air conditioning, and new heat pump were installed during the recent renovations.
