Property Description
Nestled in a dramatic bend of the Delaware River, where the cliffs overlooking Bulls Island meet the soft curve of the canal, Raven Rock Post stands as a rare architectural gem—a living testament to the old-world charm and craftsmanship of the 18th and 19th centuries. One of the few original structures still standing in historic Raven Rock, this lovingly restored enclave is more than a residence: it is a chapter of American history brought gracefully into the 21st century. The property comprises a collection of four enchanting stone buildings -- three antique row homes and a standalone artist's studio -- each exuding the quiet poetry of a European village tucked into the hillside. The largest, circa 1800, was once the home of the Raven Rock Post Office, lending the property its name and a touch of local lore. Today, this approximately 3,000-square-foot estate has been thoughtfully reimagined as either a single, cohesive retreat or a collection of three independent residences. With four bedrooms, three and a half baths, and multiple living spaces, it offers remarkable versatility -- ideal for multigenerational living, private guest quarters, or lucrative short-term rentals, with income potential exceeding $100,000 annually. Inside, the homes are a study in harmony between past and present. Wide-plank antique floors, massive hand-hewn beams, deep-set windows, and original plaster-over-stone walls evoke the character of an earlier time. These historic elements have been meticulously restored and paired with energy-efficient systems, contemporary kitchens, and luxurious baths -- including antique claw-foot soaking tubs perfect for quiet reflection after a day outdoors. Outside, terraced stone gardens and meandering brick paths bloom with herbs, native wildflowers and orchard trees, seamlessly extending the living space into the open air, while the original summer kitchen has been thoughtfully transformed into a charming outdoor dining space, along with a stone garden shed on the lower level and an insulated artist's studio above. Whether you're enjoying morning coffee on a private stone terrace, painting in golden afternoon light, or dining al fresco under the stars, the landscape feels curated for serenity. Situated directly across from Bulls Island State Park, an abundance of natural beauty and outdoor activities are within short walking distance -- fishing, kayaking, hiking, cycling, or simply exploring the river's edge. Or you can take a leisurely stroll across the river on the footbridge to Lumberville, where you can dine at the historic Black Bass Hotel -- one of the oldest inns in the country and proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places -- or savor a relaxed morning at the Lumberville General Store, offering fresh coffee, homemade baked goods, and a classic deli counter. Though this property feels worlds away, it remains remarkably accessible -- just a short drive to the river towns of Stockton, Frenchtown, Lambertville, and New Hope, and within easy reach of New York City and Philadelphia. Raven Rock Post is not merely a home; it's a lifestyle -- timeless, peaceful, and deeply inspiring. Whether you seek a retreat from city life, a refined investment, or a setting for creative living, this is a property to be cherished for generations to come.
