This is a rural gem in Wantage among vast rolling hills of historic and bucolic farmland.
Colonial Cider is a 50-acre farmland-preserved homestead with a beautifully restored farmhouse.
The crown jewel of the property is an 18-acre east-facing apple orchard with 20 American variety apple trees that are 200 years old. There are also 14 European pear varieties for future pear cider production.
Also on the property is a large dairy barn improved and renovated for commercial cider making. Included is a plenary winery license, which allows for retail and wholesale sales.
Enough about the property. The classic three-bedroom, two-bath farmhouse, built in 1740, will not be outshone by the property.
The home boasts a gorgeous country kitchen, open floor design, beamed ceilings and sturdy hardwood floors.
This listing truly can be a life changing experience for the right individual. Now is the time to fulfill a dream and continue the legacy of Colonial Cider.
