Property Description
Are you looking to start a farm or homestead? Look no further. Opportunity knocks at Sparrow
Lake Farm. Welcome to Sparrow Lake Farm. Where many species of migratory birds and other
wildlife visit. Drive down the tree-lined driveway to the hidden farm which offers a peaceful and
tranquil setting, but is also only minutes from major transportation routes, metropolitan
Philadelphia, and all the comforts of living in today’s modern world. Just under 10 acres, the
farm is currently Q-Farm assessed and being used to raise goats, chickens, and ducks. The
farm produces income through the sale of pasture-raised eggs and seasonal vegetables. Local
beekeepers also use a portion of the farm to produce honey. Entering this massive property,
driving down the paved driveway there is a line of trees on the left that separates the
neighboring property. On the right you will find a vegetable field, further down the driveway you
will come upon the 3 bedroom cape cod farmhouse. To the left of the home is a utility shed and
inground pool. To the right of the home, you will find the side garden. Behind the home, you will
find the barn which opens to the goat pasture complete with a run-in shelter to allow the
livestock to seek shelter from the elements during the day. To the right of the barn lies the
chicken pasture, natural pond, bee yard, and open pasture. The open pasture and spring-fed
pond offer a beautiful, serene, and picturesque location where the new owners could host large
events such as weddings, family reunions, and corporate parties and fundraisers. The property
was originally designed to board and house race horses for the Garden State Race Track and
could be returned to an income-producing boarding facility. The 12-stall barn offers water and
electricity and is open on both ends allowing easy access to the pastures. The barn also has a
loft area that is perfect for storage or hay. In addition to the farm, the property offers a
three-bedroom, one and one-half bathroom cape cod farmhouse. Decorative stone facade is
found on both the front and rear of the home. Enter the front of the home and you will find a
slate entranceway leading into the bright living room which has a decorative fireplace, custom
woodwork, crown molding, hardwood floors, and a large bow window offering plenty of light. Off
of the living room you will find the first floor bedroom which wraps around to the half
bathroom/laundry room and leads into the kitchen. The hallway to the right of the living room
also leads into the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen has plenty of counter space and wood
cabinets with soft-close drawers. The dining area has exposed beams and a wood insert
fireplace, which can heat the entire home. The kitchen, dining area, and laundry room have
neutral ceramic tile floors. Behind the kitchen, you will find a bonus four-season family room with
pine beadboard ceiling and four large windows overlooking the barn and pastures. Up the stairs
you will find two more bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a large walk-in closet. The bedrooms
have dormer-style windows and the primary bedroom and hallway have laminate flooring. Chair
rail molding is found in the hallway. The septic was replaced in 2017, the plumbing was updated
in 2023, and the water treatment system and hot water heater are newer. After a hard day
working on the farm, you can relax in the fenced inground pool complete with sliding board. This
is a unique property that offers the new owner many opportunities. The new owner can keep the
farmland assessment with lower taxes. With a little work, the new owner can transform this
property into their dream home or income-producing business.
