255 OLD MILL ROAD, GREENWICH, NJ 08323

$525,000

Set across nearly 15 contiguous acres in the heart of historic Greenwich Township, 255 Old Mill Road presents an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire one of South Jersey's most historically significant residences. The offering encompasses two separately deeded parcels, including the original 3.3-acre homesite and an adjoining 11.5-acre registered Qualified… Read More Farm, creating a private country estate where history, preserved farmland, and natural beauty exist in remarkable harmony. Originally constructed by the Maskell family in 1722, the timber-frame residence has been scientifically dated through dendrochronology and stands among the region's earliest surviving homes. Individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the home was expanded with a brick addition prior to 1739, carefully preserving the architectural integrity of its first-period construction while creating a residence whose evolution has been documented for more than three centuries. The home's provenance is equally extraordinary. During preservation efforts in the 1930s, original wood paneling was carefully removed and entrusted to two of the nation's foremost museums. Today, portions of the home's original interior are preserved within a collection at the Winterthur Museum, where they remain celebrated examples of early American craftsmanship. Faithfully reproduced paneling now honors that remarkable legacy while allowing the home to continue telling its extraordinary story. While deeply rooted in history, the property has been thoughtfully maintained through decades of exceptional stewardship. Improvements have been completed with tremendous respect for the home's architectural integrity, preserving its eighteenth-century character while offering the comforts expected for modern living. Beyond the residence, the surrounding landscape is every bit as compelling. The adjoining 11.5-acre Qualified Farm has remained an integral part of the property's agricultural heritage and is currently cultivated in keeping with its long-standing farming tradition, preserving the open landscape that has defined the estate for generations. Together, the two parcels create nearly fifteen acres of remarkable privacy, offering endless possibilities for those seeking a country retreat, equestrian pursuits, hobby farming, or simply the serenity of wide-open space. Positioned just moments from the historic village of Greenwich, the Cohansey River, and the Delaware Bay, the setting remains remarkably unchanged from centuries past. Bald eagles, ospreys, deer, wild turkey, and countless other native species are frequent visitors, creating an environment where history and nature coexist in perfect balance. For more than three centuries, this remarkable property has witnessed the unfolding of American history while remaining a treasured part of the Greenwich landscape. Today, it offers a truly rare opportunity for its next steward to preserve that legacy while writing the next chapter of its extraordinary story. Read Less
