Re: Own a piece of the North Branch.
I saw this listing months ago. The land is already farmland preserved so the non-profits won't touch it since its already "saved". It also has a house/barn which they don't want to deal with either. Its up to Mendham Twp to do something but with funding sources dwinding, I wouldn't count on it. If they ever sub-divided and did not include the dwellings, it would easier to make it open space.
Below is a reply I got to this property back in march:
Quote:
If you are asking if NJCF would like to purchase this preserved farm and house with the possibility of managing the property for public access, that is a question I can float at our staff land meeting once I know more about the easement. Please know that we typically do not purchase properties with houses, the expense of upkeep and liability are not a good fit for us. Also, preservation funding can be difficult if not impossible to obtain when a property is considered already preserved, i.e. not a threat. I will bring it up at our meeting though to see if anyone has ideas for further preservation and trail connections. It certainly is a key property in the mix with Shiff, etc.
Best,
Ingrid
