115-acre preserved estate along Musconetcong River in Warren County to be sold at auction
FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP, N.J. (Warren County) — A 115.4-acre preserved estate along the Musconetcong River in the Asbury section of Franklin Township is scheduled to be sold through an online auction in December, according to Max Spann Real Estate & Auction Co.
The property, located at 6 Wolverton Road, features more than 2,000 feet of river frontage, rolling farmland, open acreage and mountain views, along with a nearly 5,000-square-foot Colonial farmhouse.
Originally built in 1989, the custom farmhouse is unfinished, giving prospective buyers an opportunity to complete and customize the residence. The estate also includes a heated in-ground Gunite swimming pool, an all-weather tennis court, patios and outdoor entertainment areas.
A barn with a six-car garage provides additional space for potential agricultural, equestrian, recreational or estate uses, according to the auction company.
“Estates with this combination of acreage, river frontage and mountain views rarely come to market in Warren County,” said Max Spann Jr., President of Max Spann Real Estate & Auction Co. “The existing residence gives the next owner a real head start. Whether they finish it as planned or reimagine it as a family estate, an equestrian property, or a working farm, the setting is here and the vision is theirs. It also is excellent for bird watching, including a nesting bald eagle on the property.”
The 115.4-acre property offers potential uses ranging from farming and livestock to equestrian activities and private recreation, subject to applicable preservation restrictions.
The estate borders the Musconetcong River, which is designated as part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The surrounding area provides opportunities for fishing, hiking, biking, kayaking and other outdoor activities, including trout fishing along the river.
Warren County’s network of preserved parks, trails and natural areas also offers recreational opportunities nearby. The property provides access to Interstate 78, connecting the rural area to other parts of western and central New Jersey.
Prospective buyers will have three opportunities to tour the property before the auction. Scheduled previews will take place Saturday, Nov. 14; Saturday, Nov. 21; and Thursday, Dec. 3, from noon to 2 p.m. each day.
Online bidding will begin Monday, Dec. 7, at 9 a.m. and conclude Wednesday, Dec. 9, at 11 a.m.
Interested bidders can review the property’s information package, auction terms and due diligence materials before registering to participate in the auction.
