Affectionately known as Raven Rock Post, this distinctive historic residence is a rare find, representing some of the few original structures still standing in the Historic Raven Rock District. Tucked between the river and the mountainside, this property began as an 1800s stone house accompanied by the neighboring Raven Rock Post Office and General Store. A third home was later added, creating what is now a charming three-family residence with the ambiance of an old European village, that can easily function as a two-family or single-family home. The current owner has meticulously and extensively renovated all aspects of the homes as well as accessory buildings, including a summer kitchen, stone gardening shed and insulated artist’s studio. Within each unique home you will find an abundance of beautifully restored original features alongside new modern necessities. Refinished original antique wood floors throughout, original massive beamed ceilings & mantels seen for the first time in over 150 years, antique claw foot tubs for soaking away daily stressors to beautifully blended new energy efficient kitchens and bathrooms, this property is TURNKEY! Extensive work was done to ensure this property would be as low maintenance as possible, serving as a lucrative investment opportunity and delightful country retreat that would endure another 100 years. Currently owner occupied with only two homes rented, the rental income stands just over $70k, but with all homes + accessory buildings rented, the property easily generates over $100k. Some restorations include completely restored interiors, furnace updates & chimney venting, custom made on-site seamless copper gutters, chimney restoration, new roofs, underlayment & attic venting, new water filtration systems, new laundry, improved plumbing and electric, repaired stone & brick work, EV charging, plus extensive exterior work…the list goes on! Enchanting native wildflower gardens were planted over the past five years and will continue to grow in size each year, attracting a plethora of pollinators including hummingbirds and butterflies! Enjoy fresh fruits from your own quaint orchard, while watching the sunset from one of four stone terraces. Entertain guests under the vine-covered pergola on warm summer nights, then leave the bedroom terrace door open with nothing but the chirping of crickets to lull you to sleep. Spend cozy winter nights in front of the wood-burning stove with loved ones or cozied up with a good book. Relish the serenity of this property as you relax on the front porch, taking in stunning views and immerse yourself in nature with miles of Delaware River, canals and trails for walking, running and biking, just steps away from your front door at Bull’s Island State Park. Raven Rock Post feels like it is miles away from the world, but it's just minutes from a plethora of fine dining and sought-after destinations. The Delaware River serves as a playground for water sports enthusiasts including boating, kayaking, tubing and fishing. Access one of many boat launches or the beautiful pedestrian bridge within the park and walk across the width of the Delaware River leading to renowned eateries like The Black Bass, Lumberville General Store, and 1740 House. Enjoy live music and vineyard tours at Federal Twist Winery, farm-to-table meals at the Stockton Inn and Stockton Market or enjoy lazy drives visiting local produce stands. With its preserved farmland, the picturesque scenery will continue to endure. This breathtaking landscape has made the area a sought-after destination for cyclists, renowned for its equestrian community, the Delaware Township Trail Association and Hunter Pace events. Conveniently located 5-15 minutes from popular river towns of Stockton, Lambertville, Frenchtown, Lumberville and New Hope. Approximately 90 minutes to NYC, 55 minutes to Philadelphia, 20 minutes to Trenton-Mercer Airport and 40-45 minutes to Princeton and Newark International Airport. |
