Interior living spaces of the barn include multiple areas for recreation and entertainment, such as the open-plan living room with wet bar (pictured here).

Although very private and serene, the expansive property - known as Deer Run Farm - is located just 12 miles from Nassau Street, Princeton's main hub for dining, shopping and entertainment. Additionally, the farm is only a 20-minute drive to the state capital of Trenton and is within 45 minutes of Philadelphia, PA.

"We've had a string of successes in New Jersey recently, and we expect our business there to accelerate during the next 3-4 business quarters," said David Enriquez, Platinum's vice president. "Especially given the increasing number of luxury homeowners looking for a date-certain sale to stay out ahead of what seem to be receding markets in many areas."

Originally built in 1894, the property's main residence has been extensively updated. The 6,300-sf home includes 5 beds, 5 full and 2 half baths, in addition to a gourmet kitchen, library, formal living and dining rooms and a lovely master suite. Many rooms open to patios and courtyards that overlook the bucolic grounds, which include a pool with pool house, a greenhouse and potting shed.

The property also features a tri-level barn (built in 2003) that combines handsome living and entertaining spaces with a number of equine amenities. Four stalls, a tack room and wash stall are located on the lower level of the barn, which opens onto picture-perfect paddocks equipped with run-in stalls and auto-watering pedestals. The lower level also houses a conference room, office, and a bonus room currently in use as a bedroom.

The barn's main level offers expansive spaces for entertaining and recreation, including a fitness center, great room, dining room, wet bar and kitchen - all accented with warm woods and stone. The third level offers a media/entertainment loft and one bedroom with an en-suite bath.

Surprisingly, Deer Run Farm is entirely powered by a fleet of income-generating solar panels. In fact, a recent energy bill showed the property received a $300 credit for the billing cycle. A 310kW generator provides backup power if needed.
