One of the Largest Contiguous Properties Remaining in Hopewell

Steeped in history and exceptional rural charm, this remarkable property is anchored by the Hart-Hoch House, a farmhouse listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The residence was expanded during the Federal Period in the early 1800s, showcasing architectural details from this distinctive era. Adding to its unique story, the home's bricks were manufactured in Ireland and transported to America as ship ballast.

Six tractors and a variety of agricultural equipment and mowers are available for purchase separately.
