the utmost in elegance and privacy
To everything there is a season, and the owners of this magnificent property are looking to pass the custodianship of their Federal architecture style residence to a buyer looking for the utmost in elegance and privacy. This home is modeled and built to emulate Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington. Some of the interior features include five working fireplaces, selected hardwoods, marbles, and a parquet floor in the great room & dining room. There are four ensuites to ensure privacy and comfort for the family. Thunderstruck is situated on 42.5 acres with the Delaware bay as the backdrop. There are boundless wetland, water and wildlife views. The grounds and landscaping have been designed and implemented to complement and blend the raw beauty of the natural environment with the elegance of a fine estate. There are a number of outbuildings that include a beckoning pool house with full kitchen, tile bathroom with shower and hickory hardwood floors. A tractor garage and utility building has been constructed to house the full-sized New Holland snowplow and gardening tractor, gardening supplies, storage for the pool furniture, and other accompaniments during the winter season. There is an eye-catching pump-house adjacent to the front pond as well as a tree shaded herb garden to the west. All of the buildings were constructed to the same standard and level of detail as the main home including beveled cedar siding, dental moulding (corbels) and brick base. There are many architectural details that were designed and implemented by two Pennsylvania artisans and one very talented South Jersey carpenter that spent nearly two years on site to quality workmanship. This property is gated, alarmed and secured. Showings are to be by appointment at least 24 hours in advance, and for qualified buyers only.
