Where is this revamped New Jersey farmhouse located?

For readers scanning more luxury real estate and dream homes, the listing stands out as a turnkey acreage option in a relatively small township market.
What makes the main house a mix of old and new?
Dating to 1900, the farmhouse has been thoughtfully expanded into a full country estate. Many original details remain intact, including reclaimed beams, wide-plank wood floors, brick flooring, custom millwork, and several fireplaces.
Newer additions include a sunroom, home theater, gym, smart-home technology, and a glass elevator. Four bedrooms and five baths are spread throughout. The primary suite occupies its own wing and features a roughly 700-square-foot dressing room and walk-in closet, plus a private outdoor space overlooking the grounds.
The kitchen balances eras with furniture-style cabinetry, farmhouse sinks, marble countertops, reclaimed wood accents, and designer appliances. It opens to informal dining and living spaces, while French doors connect interiors to covered porches, a vine-covered pergola, and gardens that wrap the house.
What else comes with the 10-acre compound?
Beyond the farmhouse, the property unfolds more like a private compound than a single residence. A restored timber-frame barn has been transformed into a party space while retaining its original beams and soaring ceilings.
Elsewhere are a saltwater pool and poolhouse, a large pond, fenced paddocks, gardens, wildflower meadows, and several outbuildings for animals, all surrounded by mature trees and landscaped grounds.
How does the asking price fit Tewksbury’s market?
According to Robb Report, By Pond Farm is asking a speck under $4 million. That price sits well above the township’s June median listing of about $997,000, based on Realtor.com data cited in the report, underscoring how rare large estates are locally.
Interest in acreage near New York City remains clear: in March of last year, the 20-acre Hilltop retreat—created by Ford Models founders Eileen and Jerry Ford—went into contract after asking $5.9 million. By Pond Farm is listed with Turpin Realtors/Forbes Global Properties.
