Property Description
Picture yourself as the steward of a magnificent estate, where history, heritage, and natural beauty converge. This is your rare opportunity to own Washington Well Farm, a legendary 8+ acre property nestled in the heart of Skillman, New Jersey. Steeped in American history and architectural splendor, this land offers a window into the past, dating back to 1753 when Joost Dureya, a man of great ambition, purchased 260 acres and established a homestead that would come to echo through centuries.
The remnants of the original structures—now standing as sacred relics of a bygone era—whisper the stories of those who lived here. The farmhouse, though no longer standing in its entirety, once offered shelter to Joost, his two wives, and his son Simon, a valiant soldier in the Revolutionary War. Though most of the buildings are no longer here, the legacy remains embedded in the land.
As you wander the expansive grounds, take in the sweeping views that evoke the era of early settlers. Behind the property, the Dureya family burial ground remainsa poignant reminder of the lives that once inhabited this land. A rare opportunity to own a piece of history, Washington Well Farm invites you to continue its story, blending modern aspirations with the deep-rooted spirit of America's past.
Will you be the next chapter in the storied legacy of Washington Well Farm? The echoes of history are calling you home.
