Buttonwood Farm is the perfect country retreat--a charming colonial farmhouse circa 1905 with Gardener’s cottage and greenhouse, two barns and a caretaker’s cottage on six and a half acres. Originally the estate of the Talmadge family, it featured prominently in the many activities this special area has enjoyed. The hounds that led the Country Hunt were once kenneled here. Only a short distance from town, the rolling pastures create the idyllic setting for which Mendham is noted. Expanded and renovated, this warm and inviting home has retained the grace of its era while enjoying updates necessary for today’s lifestyle. A gracious entry porch and foyer open to elegant, traditional gathering and entertaining spaces. The secluded library with custom built-in cabinetry provides a sunny spot to read a favorite book. French doors lead from the sunny,two-story Great Room to a private, walled terrace . The heated sunroom offers wonderful views of the property’s mature trees, lush lawns and fenced paddocks. Pristine and unobstructed views continue to the 36 acres of preserved conservation land located directly across the street. The elegantly comfortable main house is complimented by the charming two bedroom Gardener’s Cottage with adjoining original greenhouse, a Caretaker’s cottage and two barns with "stabling" space to satisfy both car and horse enthusiasts. Graciously situated on over 6.5 acres in Mendham Borough, this estate offers easy access to the excellent Mendham school system, championship golf courses, equestrian facilities and destination restaurants. It is within an easy commute to New York City, Newark Liberty Airport and all the important highways.
