36 Bissell Road viewings to begin October 25
Welcome to Deer Haven a unique horse property being offered by Nancy Ann Mcdonald for $1,285,000. This home is in the most desirable location in Tewksbury Twp NJ, Hunterdon County, a scant 3.1 miles from route 78’s exit 24, 6 miles from route 287 and just moments to route 22 and 31 if you should be traveling to the west. Ms. Mcdonald likes to say that if there was an ocean they would call this area Malibu as the homes are privately located on the meandering slopes of Tewksbury and are simply beautiful.
Tewksbury Township is a residential community located in the northeastern portion of Hunterdon County, New Jersey. The community consists of approximately 6,100 people spread out over an area covering 31 square miles. The township is located within the New York Metropolitan Area and is an attractive location for residential development. Morris County and Somerset County border the community on the north and east. Located to the west are the Hunterdon County communities of Clinton and Lebanon Township and Califon.
The entire thirty-one square miles are comprised of the unincorporated communities of Mountainville, Oldwick, Pottersville, Cokesbury, and Fairmount. The school district maintains one elementary school and one middle school. The community is well served by its school system which is noted for providing a great deal of individualized attention to students and for providing a curriculum that is educationally challenging and enhanced by its outreach partnerships with local institutions and organizations.
Tewksbury Township’s rural setting has been preserved over the years, although slow changes have been occurring in more recent land development activities. Attempts to preserve the atmosphere and current characteristics can be seen through the passage of ordinances that require the maintenance of the historical character of buildings in the existing villages of the community. The most significant change in the community is found in the demographics of the residents and in the population growth since 1950. Historically, the land was owned predominantly by farmers. Today, much of the land is owned and populated by business executives and other professional people who commute into New York City and other metropolitan cities via the Route 78 corridor. The majority of past residential development has been single-family dwellings.
A four horse stall barn with three corrals, leads the way to the Tewksbury trail association which runs through the creek area at the very bottom of the property. This gives the property owner access to The Tewksbury Trail Association (TTA) began its commitment to land and green space preservation over 25 years ago with 30 landowners and their horses. Since then, it has grown to over 250 members, with more than 180 generous landowners who join us in our preservation efforts.
TTA is responsible for developing, maintaining, and marking the trail network throughout the township. The TTA holds its annual trail pace, a timed event where teams of riders race (or just meander) through a well-marked 6-10 mile course to discover and explore the wonderfully scenic Tewksbury trail system. In addition, TTA members are invited to attend group rides such as beach rides, campouts, monthly trail rides, and other social activities.
Ms. Mcdonald has completely rehabbed this property after purchasing the property from a mourning family that lost their parents during Covid. Amongst the wonderful new features of the home are new oversized washer dryer, new refrigerator, new stove, new water heater, A full sized natural gas generator that runs the entire home is the power goes out, a wine cellar that can accommodate 80 bottles, two working fireplaces, a wood burning stove in the oversized dining room, a large living room, a downstairs office for those working at home, 2 zone heating and cooling set up with new thermostats.
The home is being sold as is, Ms Mcdonald is in no hurry to move, but she does have her eye on a new adventure should the right buyer come along and realize what a truly special property this is.
Showings will begin on Friday October 25.
Ms. Mcdonald would also like to note that this is a working home and property with three boys in their mid 20’s that come and go and a playful golden retriever pup named captain who makes things jolly, so showings will not be your typical home that is staged with brownies cooking in the oven. The home will be set up like it is on a daily basis so you will get a look at how life really works day to day. Ms. Mcdonald is selling the home herself so viewings will be friendly and you are more than welcome to take your time, bring a bottle of wine and sit on the deck overlooking the horse corrals and walk the entire length of the property on one of Tewksbury’s glorious fall days.
