Classic Equestrian Property in New Vernon.

Less than an hour from the bustle of Times Square is a peaceful New Vernon equestrian property set on 7.88 acres.  A rare equestrian offering in New Vernon—and on the market for the very first time– the residential portion of this Morris County horse property is a 1952 center hall Colonial conceived by noted architect James Timpson, Sr.  Taking in sweeping seasonal views of Silver Lake, this gracious home has a timeless feel, thanks in part to the classic exterior fashioned from handcut argillite stone from Bucks County, Pennsylvania.  While its traditional façade is filled with character, additions made in the 1980s enhance the original portion of this New Vernon horse property. 

Highlights of the four bedroom, five-and-one-half bath Morris County equestrian property include wide board pumpkin pine flooring, four fireplaces and reproduction hardware from Ball & Ball.  Beautifully maintained and updated through the years, it shows pride of ownership throughout.

Equestrian amenities within the pastoral acreage comprise three windswept pastures surrounding a four-stall horse stable, tack room and turnout shed.  The New Vernon section of Harding Township has long been recognized for its wonderful collection of Morris County horse properties and equestrian facilities.  A drive through the region reveals places like Logans Brook Equine Center and Crewe Hill, both located in New Vernon; Lord Stirling Stables in Basking Ridge and Cima Stables in Bedminster, to mention just a few. Riders will find local horse facilities for boarding, lessons and training, as well as equestrian pursuits including hunting, jumping and dressage.

Approximately 50 miles of riding trails maintained by the Harding Township and Green Village Bridle Path Association are located in Harding Township.  The New Vernon section of Harding Township was named “One of the Most Expensive Zip Codes” in the United States by Forbes magazine in 2006.

This New Vernon horse property is a remarkable offering that hasn’t been available for 58 years.  It represents a singular opportunity to become immersed in Morris County’s equestrian lifestyle.
