25 Clove Rd
Wantage Twp., NJ 07461

Welcome to Wantage, New Jersey's rural gem positioned 58 miles from NYC, featuring vast rolling hills of historic & bucolic farmland. Colonial Cider is a 50 acre Farmland Preserved homestead consisting of a beautifully restored farmhouse dating back to 1740 a large dairy barn that has been improved and renovated for commercial cider making. Included is a Plenary Winery License which allows for retail sales and wholesale. Perched above the buildings is the crown jewel of this property; an 18 acre eastward facing organic apple orchard featuring twenty 200 year old American variety apples. Access to the orchard is gained via the farm road on the low side of the property or the Skytop Rd entrance which features a breathtaking sense of arrival as you descend past an oak tree that has been standing tall for centuries. The grandiose view opens up to the postcard-like valley. Two building envelopes are presented atop the hillside. One acre assigned for winery/cidery operations and one acre area for a new residence to be constructed. Painstaking efforts went into soil making and organic farming practices for 30+ years to allow for prosperous and responsible growth and fruit production. In addition to the twenty apple varieties, many other fruit trees are found in the orchard, including an array of fourteen European pear varieties have been established for future pear cider production, an untapped market. Now is the time to fulfill the dream and continue the legacy of Colonial Cider!
