The Sharpenstine Farmstead is a historic farmhouse located at 98 East Mill Road near Long Valley in Washington Township, Morris County, New Jersey. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 1, 1992, for its significance in architecture. The 22.4acres farm overlooks the valley formed by the South Branch Raritan River.[2] The house is part of the Stone Houses and Outbuildings in Washington Township Multiple Property Submission (MPS).[3]
In 1749, the property was bought by John Peter Sharpenstine (1746–1826). In 1826, it was inherited by his son David Sharp (1786–1864).[2]
The central part of the farmhouse is a stone building with a gable roof and Federal style. The property has six contributing buildings, including the main house, a stone barn with a gambrel roof and a wagon house.[2]
