665 Montgomery Rd, Hillsborough, NJ 08844

This property is an 8.88 acre wooded lot with 1,105 feet of frontage on Montgomery Road. Two structures occupy the property including a two story house of which, the first floor has 1,200 sq ft of usable space and the second floor has 1,000 sq ft which is fully framed but still needing insulation, sheetrock and a finished floor. The space accommodates two bedrooms (or bedroom/study combo), a living space, a large bathroom and plenty of storage, all with a cathedral ceiling.The property is virgin woodland, with old growth oaks, maples, and beeches, some over 150 feet tall and greater than three feet in diameter. Some of the white oaks have been dated to over 300 years old.For 50 years the residence has been heated by both electric baseboard and a wood stove fueled with deadwood, windblown limbs, and natural attrition of the property's hardwoods. An additional advantage of wood-fuel heat provides uninterrupted warmth during the occasional storm-induced power outage.The property enjoys a grandfathered variance that allows for a variety of professional uses. This picturesque land is also immune from newer restrictions that require a minimum of 10 acres to build. Both of these considerations make it a rarity for the area.Ample parking supports seven vehicles for employees or visitors and is ideal for independent contractors or small businesses such as architects, consultants, artists, building contractors, engineers or authors.If the new owner appreciates venison, the property is ideal for bow and arrow hunters and every year has provided the owners with a variety of menu items, whether they hunt themselves or lease to guest hunters.
