Private Indoor Pool, Theater, outdoor features on pet-friendly estate

Relax in the private, indoor pool and spa while gazing at the large, hand-painted mural and crystal chandelier or watch your favorites on an 86" tv with high-end in-wall sound system while floating in the heated, crystal clear water. Watch a movie, tv show or play a video game in the theater with 7 comfortable adult recliners, large projection screen, built-in audio system. Stroll around the 2 acre estate with unique 2 fountains with fish & flowers, lots of outdoor seating areas, high-end outdoor kitchen, outdoor fireplace and 2 fire pits. Take the 2 e-bikes on the 2 mile trip to downtown Princeton or on the miles and miles of very nearby bike trails. Visit our neighbors, Princeton Lavender Farm and meet their goats, alpacas, chickens and their pony Ziggy. Bring your dog to enjoy the large Fully- fenced yard with an automated gate. Stay in a newly renovated guest house/bedroom and basement bedroom with exclusive use of remarkable indoor pool, theater. Covid conscious with excellent filtration/ventilation. Bathroom is downstairs from Pool (~20 feet from guest house). 2 queen airbeds come with the property. The winding driveway hides a large parking area with basketball hoop. Property has many flowering trees, vines and gardens. Large fountain with flowering plants and dozens of goldfish centers the front yard. Second fountain with large, original sculpture, ~20 goldfish, minnows and flowering plants is more modern. In the back yard is a large grass yard, your own gas fire pit, patio, lots of flowers, a walking bridge, a high-end outdoor kitchen (fridge, commercial grill, stove top, bread warmer, sink, bar area). The large indoor pool has citrus trees, large teak couch, an amazing chandelier and enormous hand-painted ceiling mural. The guest house has a solid cherry king bed, futon, quiet new ac/heat, fridge, microwave, air fryer/oven, spring water dispenser, coffee and Nespresso machines, large window looking at backyard/woods. The downstairs bedroom has a queen bed and large closet with iron, ironing board, hair dryer. The movie theater has a large projected screen, Apple TV w/game console and high-end in-wall audio with 7 large adult recliners and 5 kids chairs (on request). Bathroom has toilet seat bidet, lots of marble and nice fixtures. There are about 100 restaurants nearby that deliver nearly anything you could want. The property is very private and special. We can also let you use bikes/etc. Just ask. You’re also welcome to feed the fish and play with our very friendly dogs (if you want). The property is mostly powered by solar panels.

Guest access
You'll have exclusive access to the guest house/bedroom 1 (about 150 SF with its own hvac), a very nice bathroom (in the main house, next to the theater), a second bedroom next to the theater, exclusive use of the theater and exclusive access to the indoor pool/spa. You’ll get shared access (with owners) to the large yard with 2 fish fountains, many sitting areas, gas fire pit outside guest house, smokeless wood fire pit outside fence (amazing space!), high-end outdoor kitchen with grill, fridge, bread warmer, stove, sink and basketball hoop in large driveway. The Lawrenceville Hopewell trail is about 100 meters from driveway and offers near-endless biking/walking trails, including into Princeton and other nearby towns and the canal path.

Other things to note
There is a Lavender farm next door with outdoor event space and kid-friendly animals (goats, alpacas, horse, etc). They are available for hosting larger events like weddings. We have 2 large, friendly dogs who you can meet if you want or not. We have landscapers come every other week and have a company treats the yard for ticks and mosquitos. There's a lot of outdoor furniture and sitting areas. We have coolers if you want to bring drinks/food to the fire pit or to have a meal at one of the outdoor spots on the property. There are many excellent local farms that sell everything from grass-fed meat to prepared foods to organic produce.
To help as many people as possible enjoy this space:
We are happy to help guests with luggage and to make other reasonable accommodations. The space does require going down stairs to access the bathroom (and one of the bedrooms). The stairs have rails. The smallest door openings are 29”.

Great mini-vacation!
When we arrived, Geoff greeted us and gave us a tour of his lovely property. The guest room has a large picture window with a bird feeder in front of it. It did not take long for the birds to arrive. There are Cardinals, Blue Jays, and woodpeckers, among other species. There are also bunnies and chipmunks all around the property! The guest house has everything you need, including a Nespresso machine, a microwave, and a fridge. When it is time to turn in for the evening, a comfortable bed and pillows await. You can set the temperature controls to your liking. Now, for the star of the show: the pool room. No pictures do it justice compared to seeing it in person! The chandelier with the Venetian style art is extraordinary. The pool is very large; you can watch TV, lounge, listen to music, and swim. The pool is well-kept, clean, and does not reek like chlorine. The comfortable theatre room offers a great way to end your day. There's a huge grill and a bread warmer, and the outdoor fridge perfectly chilled our wine and beers! We dined alfresco underneath a beautifully lit-up wrought iron chandelier gazebo. And don't worry; there is not a mosquito in sight! Over by the grill is a lovely outdoor fireplace where we sat, sipped our wine, and listened to music. Nearby, there are many small boutiques and restaurants, some with outdoor seating. There are plenty of pet-friendly shops among them. Plus, Geoff has an excellent guidebook to local sights and restaurants.

Great host, gorgeous property.
Geoff is the most gracious hosts I've had the pleasure of dealing with. He responded very quickly to our every concern, and even took our family to visit a neighboring farm. The property is absolutely beautiful, and we had access to most outside areas. The outside kitchen has a huge gas grill and a small oven which was more than sufficient for our stay. The pool is quite large, and the kids had lots of fun splashing around. A couple of things to be aware of. Geoff's family lives in the main house to which you will not have access. You are renting only two small-ish rooms (one in the basement next to the home theater, and another in a separate guest house) with a single shower/bathroom. There is only one large bed in each of those 2 rooms, but they do have 2 extra inflatable mattresses that we set up in the theater. If you have a large family, you may need to double up. The only places to cook something was a small microwave and the aforementioned outside kitchen, which can be a pain during bad weather. Overall, the kids had a lot of fun.

Beautiful property, clean and as advertised. Host was great!
We chose this location so family members could come and visit and use the pool with us. Geoff was amazing! Very responsive to any questions or needs. The pool was phenomenal. The outdoor area was the perfect spot to eat and visit with our guests. The movie room was the perfect spot to cool off and watch movies at the end of the day. My kids loved going out to the 2 fountains to look at the fish and look for frogs. Geoff and his daughter (she was so sweet and funny!)took us to the farm next door twice to see the goats, pony and alpaca's. That was so much fun as we got to go right in there with the animals. They were all so inquisitive and friendly. We are a family of 5 and 1 dog. There were enough beds and enough space. I would recommend this property and hopefully we will find an opportunity to come back!

Beautiful home, lovely yard!
My fiance and I had great mini-vacation in this beautiful home. The Guest House was really cute, and the king size bed was super comfy! We were quite impressed with the pool/hot tub area. It looks like something you'd see in a movie! We also enjoyed our strolls through the lovely yard. It was quiet and tranquil.

Perfect weekend getaway!
Spent Mother’s Day weekend here and had such a wonderful relaxing time. Really enjoyed the pool and theater room. The estate is gorgeous with beautiful landscaping and gardens, bird watching, phenomenal outdoor grill area and guest house accommodations. Geoff, the host was so very attentive and made our stay absolutely perfect. Minutes to Princeton, restaurants shopping, etc. We will definitely be back to this little slice of heaven!
