REDUCED $100,000! Welcome to Seven Stars Tavern — a rare opportunity to own an authentic piece of New Jersey’s colonial history. Built in 1762 and rich with Revolutionary-era significance, this extraordinary residence blends timeless architectural character with the warmth and charm of a true historic home.

Together, the home and grounds present a rare blend of comfort, charm, and resort-style amenities. Built in 1762, the historic Seven Stars Tavern is one of Salem County’s most notable examples of 18th-century colonial architecture. Constructed by Peter and Elizabeth Louderback along the former King’s Highway, the brick structure replaced an earlier log tavern and was identified by the iconic “Sign of the Seven Stars,” a celestial emblem used to guide travelers in the colonial era. The Louderbacks’ initials and the original construction date remain visible in the brickwork, offering a rare and authentic connection to the property’s origins and craftsmanship. During the colonial and Revolutionary periods, Seven Stars Tavern served as a vital roadside stop and community gathering place, providing lodging and hospitality to travelers and locals alike. The property is closely tied to Revolutionary War history through the Louderback family’s patriot support, including a documented British raid in 1778 while searching for their son, John Louderback. He is believed to have supplied Continental (American) troops with food which resulted in the British putting a price on his head. By the early 1800s, the building transitioned into a private residence and farmhouse, a role it has maintained for generations. Today, listed on the National and New Jersey Register of Historic Places, Seven Stars Tavern stands as a remarkably preserved historic home—rich in character, heritage, and timeless appeal—offering a rare opportunity to own a true piece of New Jersey history.
