About 18 SCHOOL HOUSE RD

WELCOME TO DREAMLAND FARMS! Some properties have a history, while others have a story worth telling. Established in the 1990s from a couple's shared love of horses and the beautiful countryside of Upper Freehold Township, Dreamland Farms was more than just a farm. It was affectionately called "dreamland," a place where their passion for horses grew into a successful Standardbred breeding and racing operation. Today, this truly special property offers 108 acres in the heart of New Jersey horse country, near the renowned Horse Park of New Jersey and within the Upper Freehold Regional School District. With extensive frontage along both Schoolhouse Road and Burlington Path Road, the estate offers a wonderful combination of privacy, open countryside, multiple residences, and outstanding equestrian facilities. At the heart of the property is a custom-built contemporary home featuring modern, open architecture, soaring ceilings, a dramatic three-story foyer, beautiful fireplaces, and spacious living areas designed for grand entertaining and comfortable everyday living. A sun-filled conservatory, generous primary suite, and finished third-floor great room with balconies overlooking the countryside are among its many highlights. Beyond the main residence, a detached three-car garage includes a one-bedroom apartment above, while a separate three-bedroom ranch, originally built to accommodate farm staff, features additional living space and an adjoining studio with kitchenette and full bath. The property's equestrian facilities reflect its rich history, including a 14-stall stable, an additional three-stall barn, numerous run-in shelters, fenced paddocks with automatic waterers throughout, two pump houses, a training track, a large pole barn, greenhouse, and additional outbuildings. Approximately 87 acres of agricultural cropland, gently rolling fields, and wooded borders provide a beautiful setting for this expansive estate. Outdoor amenities include an in-ground pool with spa, two koi ponds, expansive paver garden, and plenty of space for outdoor entertaining. Paved roadways throughout the property and an electronic gated entrance add to its convenience and privacy. While Dreamland Farms has a wonderful equestrian history, its possibilities extend well beyond horses. With preserved farmland and a designated non-agricultural exception area, this property offers exciting opportunities to explore agritourism ventures such as a winery, brewery, wedding or special events venue, farm-to-table experiences, continued equestrian operations, or other agricultural pursuits. Certain uses are subject to farmland preservation restrictions, zoning regulations, and required approvals. Contact the listing agent for additional information regarding permitted uses, preservation restrictions, and the multiple parcels included in the sale. Whether your vision is a private country estate, a working horse farm, or an agritourism destination, Dreamland Farms offers the land, facilities, and possibilities to bring that vision to life. Properties of this size, with such a unique combination of residential, agricultural, and business potential, rarely become available. Dreamland Farms has a wonderful history, and its future is filled with opportunity. The next chapter is yours to create.
