n the northwestern corner of New Jersey, a 50-acre farm has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past 24 years. Once neglected and dilapidated, it's now a thriving agricultural venture featuring an orchard, cider-making facility, and historic farmhouse. The property, known as Colonial Cider, is on the market for $1.399 million at 25 Clove Road in Wantage.

    The current owner purchased the farm in 2001 with a vision to create an agritourism destination. He's been working tirelessly to bring this dream to life, renovating the property and adding new features such as a commercial cider-making facility, equipped with state-of-the-art equipment. The farm also boasts an 18-acre organic orchard with 20 different American apple varieties, as well as other fruits like blueberries, raspberries, cherries, peaches, and plums.

    The farmhouse, built in 1740, has been modernized while preserving its classic charm. It features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious front porch, and original oak and pine flooring. The property also includes an acre of land designated for a new residential dwelling.

    A unique aspect of the property is its Plenary Winery license, obtained under the LLC Colonial Cider. This brand-new license allows the property to grow and cultivate grapes or fruit on at least three acres, produce fermented wines, and blend, fortify, and treat wines. The demographic interested in this property is small, but the listing agents are hopeful that they'll find the right buyer soon.

    The farm's second entrance off Skytop Road provides easy access for guests visiting the cidery, while the farmhouse offers a serene atmosphere with its wood burning stoves, stone detailing, and beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. With its rich history, modern amenities, and endless possibilities, Colonial Cider is an exceptional opportunity for someone looking to own a unique piece of New Jersey's agricultural heritage.
