Set across 64 preserved acres with almost one-third of a mile of Salem River frontage, this extraordinary estate represents one of South Jersey's most remarkable offerings. Centered around a beautifully preserved circa 1780 Colonial, the property combines centuries of history with productive farmland, breathtaking natural beauty, and endless opportunities for recreation, agriculture, and gathering.

The landscape is a beautiful blend of open farmland, mature woodlands, and scenic river views, with approximately 30 acres of currently tilled farmland and endless possibilities for agricultural pursuits, equestrian use, livestock, vineyards, specialty crops, and more. A particularly enchanting park-like clearing overlooking the river provides an unforgettable backdrop for outdoor entertaining, tented celebrations, family gatherings, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Further along the river's edge, another gathering spot awaits beneath a canopy of towering mature trees that create a cathedral-like setting unlike anything else on the property. Complete with a small structure for storage or shelter from the elements, it is the perfect place to enjoy a quiet picnic while watching the river flow by, immersed in the tranquility of the landscape.
Steeped in history and carefully preserved through generations, the circa 1780 residence is a gracious three-story center hall Colonial reflecting more than two centuries of American heritage. Offering six bedrooms and 3.5 baths including two ensuite bedrooms, the home retains its original hearth, while fireplaces, some operational and some preserved as architectural features, are found throughout nearly every room.
The property's rich history has inspired not one, but two published works. Hot Dogs in the Cave captures the memories of a woman who grew up in the home during the early 1900s, offering a firsthand glimpse into life on the property generations ago. The estate was also the subject of Letters to Rolling Acres, a reference to the property's historic name when it encompassed approximately 185 acres. Together, these works speak to the lasting impression this remarkable farm has left on those who have called it home. Few properties can claim to have inspired published books, making this a truly rare opportunity to become the next steward of a property woven into the region's history.
Despite its peaceful and private setting, the property enjoys convenient access to many of South Jersey's most beloved destinations. Historic downtown Woodstown is just 10 minutes away, while the Salem County Fairgrounds, home to the annual Delaware Valley Bluegrass Festival and other year-round events, are only 5 minutes from the property. Just 15 minutes away, the iconic Cowtown Farmers Market & Flea Market has attracted visitors from across the region for generations with hundreds of vendors, antiques, local produce, handcrafted goods, and more. Historic downtown Swedesboro is also just 15 minutes away, offering boutiques, restaurants, breweries, and seasonal events. Wilmington, Delaware is less than 30 minutes away, providing tax-free shopping, cultural attractions, and Amtrak Acela service with convenient access to Philadelphia, New York City, Washington, D.C., and beyond.
