A rare opportunity to own 3.7 acres in one of Hopewell Township's most scenic settings, just minutes from Pennington and Princeton. This special property offers space, privacy and tremendous potential for a buyer with vision. The historic farmhouse dates to approximately 1800 and requires extensive renovation. Offered strictly as-is, it presents an opportunity to undertake a significant rehabilitation and reimagine a piece of Hopewell Township history. The property's greatest appeal lies in its setting, with abundant wildlife and birdlife, including bald eagles and owls, and miles of nearby trails for walking, running, biking and horseback riding. Mercer County Park is within walking distance, offering fishing, boating and kayaking, picnic areas, a dog park and extensive recreation. The property offers the potential for keeping one horse, subject to Township requirements, with an equestrian center nearby. Approximately five miles from Princeton Borough, the property is also minutes from shopping, dining and everyday services, with convenient access to rail service to New York, Philadelphia and beyond. Served by the highly regarded Hopewell Valley Regional School District, with the Pennington School nearby. Federal City Road takes its name from a fascinating chapter in local history, when this area was considered as a possible location for the nation's capital. A remarkable opportunity to restore and reimagine a historic property in an exceptional location.
