One of the most intriguing parcels of land in Delaware Township, the Zega Farm dates to 1798. 79+ acres of rural serenity, the landscape of open fields meets a quiet wooded grove shading the winding Lockatong Creek. This parcel of land represents one of the last large farms in the area that has not been preserved. The property includes a colonial 18th Century stone farmhouse with impressive stone quoining and charming fireplaces, a number of farm buildings and a remarkable bank barn with slate roof. Historians have indicated that the barn is notable for both its mid-19th century era of construction as well as its massive size. The barn's cathedral like interior space features impressive hand-hewn timbers while the exterior features beautiful masonry work with stone in various shapes, textures and colors. As you begin to explore the farm you will take a walk up the drive towards the barn, where the fields spread out toward the Delaware River Valley and Pennsylvania's distant cliffs offering unobstructed and unparalled views. Looking across the road is yet another beautiful meadow and woodlands which is the preserved Zega Historic Land Trust. The location of the farm is ideal as it is situated on a quiet country road complete with a single lane iron truss span bridge over the creek dating back to 1878. The bridge which a registered national historic site adds additional rustic, old world charm to the property. Located close to the Delaware River and its towpath, the farm is perfectly situated near many shopping and dining venues, numerous orchards and farm markets, antique and art galleries and intimate country inns on both the PA and NJ sides of the river. It is just minutes to the towns of Stockton, Lambertville and New Hope with an approximate commute time of 75 minutes to New York City or 60 minutes to Philadelphia.
