324 Route 40, Elmer, NJ 08318

Welcome to 324 Route 40, a unique 1.78-acre property blending peaceful country living with endless possibilities for work or leisure. Zoned Highway Business & Residential, this home offers flexibility for a private residence, small business, or both — all with room to grow. Inside, you’ll find roughly 2,200 sq ft of thoughtfully updated space. The ground level features new flooring, a modern full bath, laundry area, and a large multi-purpose room with sliding glass doors that open to a covered patio overlooking the pool — perfect for an office, studio, or entertainment space. Upstairs, the open-concept living area includes a bright kitchen with dark-blue cabinetry, gold hardware, tile backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances. The adjoining living room offers generous natural light, a cozy fireplace, and warm hardwood flooring. The primary suite features a spacious walk-in closet and private bath with barn-style sliding doors. Two additional bedrooms and another full bath complete the upstairs layout. Outdoors, this property truly shines. A heated 35,000-gallon in-ground pool with a natural-gas heater and diatomaceous earth filtration system anchors the backyard retreat. Surrounding the home is a multi-zone underground irrigation system powered by a dedicated second well — serving the backyard, pool area, gardens, front landscaping, and fruit trees (apple, peach, raspberry, elderberry, and blueberry). The fenced section includes a chicken coop, small animal pasture, and two detached outbuildings: a 20 × 10 ft wood shed and a single-car garage shed for extra storage or workshop use. Key upgrades include: - 20 kW Generac whole-house generator with an automatic transfer switch, professionally serviced. - Two wells — one for the home, one for irrigation. - Heated pool with natural gas heater and diatomaceous earth filter (liner replaced ~4 years ago). - Attached two-car garage with electric heat, and a newer upstairs heater serving the second-floor living area. - Newer roof and siding. Level, cleared, and thoughtfully landscaped, this property offers privacy and practicality in equal measure. Enjoy morning coffee from the upstairs balcony overlooking the pool, or plan your next venture — this home is ready for whatever comes next. ?? Private Sale Only – No public showings.
