Chushetunk Mountain Property Encompasses 80 Plus Rolling Acres

Set high on Cushetunk Mountain in Hunterdon County, 186–194 Stanton Mountain Road encompasses more than 80 acres of rolling fields and woodlands, with three residences, a nine-stall barn, fenced pastures, and sweeping countryside views. Reached by a long private drive, this substantial landholding combines privacy, established farm infrastructure, and convenient access to Route 78 and the New York metropolitan area.

Open fields extend across the property’s higher elevations, framed by mature woods and varied terrain suited to equestrian activities, livestock, agriculture, and recreation. Four separate lots provide flexibility in how the land and improvements may be used.

The principal stone-and-stucco residence is designed around its setting, with high ceilings, generous windows and French doors connecting interior rooms to the landscape. Its dramatic great room features soaring timber construction, exposed beams, wide-plank floors, reclaimed antique pine trim, and a floor-to-ceiling fieldstone chimney with wood stove. The spacious kitchen, with its exposed-beam wood ceiling, opens through a wall of French doors to a herringbone brick patio overlooking the valley. Multiple covered porches offer additional curated spaces from which to enjoy the views.

The primary suite includes a vaulted bedroom, walk-in closet, access to a covered brick porch, and a spacious bathroom. Upstairs, a loft with reclaimed barn flooring and hand-forged railing balusters overlooks the great room and leads to two bedrooms with walk-in closets, and a full bath. A walk-in attic provides storage, while the high-ceilinged unfinished basement offers potential for additional finished space. Construction and systems include a cedar-shingle roof, Superior Walls foundation, multizone dual-fuel oil/coal-fired radiant hot-water heating and a 20 kW stationary Kubota generator.

Positioned separately from the main residence, the nine-stall barn is supported by four large fenced pastures with automatic waterers. The barn features rubber-matted stalls, a wide paver-floored center aisle, tack room, radiant-floor heated lounge/reception area with half bath, radiant-floor heated second-floor office, hay-storage loft, and covered equipment-storage area. Direct access to riding trails around the adjacent Round Valley Recreation Area adds particular appeal for horse owners, while the surrounding acreage offers room to pursue a range of equestrian or agricultural uses.

Two additional residences broaden the property’s possibilities and the separation of buildings allows residential and farm activities to function independently. A three-bedroom, one-bath caretaker cottage is suitable for staff or extended family. A separate four-bedroom, two-bath house with an attached two-car garage on its own ten-acre lot and offers options for guests, extended households, staff, or rental income. 

The property is currently farm-assessed and is not subject to farm-preservation restrictions on development rights. With more than 80 acres across four lots, established improvements, and an elevated, secluded setting, 186–194 Stanton Mountain Road offers an uncommon opportunity to create an equestrian facility, operate a working farm, or enjoy a substantial country estate within reach of New York City.
