The eighteenth century estate is located in total seclusion on the Cohansey River, the deepest river in New Jersey, just a 15 minute boat ride away from the Delaware Bay. Once a private playground for the wealthy, the estate is now available to the public as a unique waterfront barn wedding venue.

Hold your ceremony or reception in our rustic dairy barn, massive river deck, or in a waterfront pavilion on our estate’s front lawn. Stay the night, or the week in our pre-colonial mansion which easily accommodates 20 guests.
The Eagle Manor estate resides within a 6000+ acre wildlife management area. The duck/goose hunting is phenomenal since the property is on the eastern migratory flyway. It’s also regularly stocked with upland birds. There’s also a thriving deer and turkey population.

Birdwatching
The Cohansey river, which flows through the Eagle Manor estate, boasts the largest population of bald eagles in New Jersey and is centrally located on the eastern migratory flyway. The Ospreys are as thick as flies. There’s no better place this close to home to view endangered and threatened bird species in their natural habitat.
There’s no better fishing in New Jersey than at Eagle Manor. Our secret is our illuminated wharf. Catfish and perch are plentiful. Fish with the kids in one of the six other ponds surrounding the property where sunfish and bass are plentiful. We’re just 15 minutes from the Delaware Bay if you prefer deep sea fishing. You can catch a charter boat out of Fortescue, less than 30 minutes away for Striper fishing.
Thirty miles of unspoiled Cohansey river to explore with hardly another boat in sight. This deepest river in New Jersey can accommodate the largest boats as well as the smallest kayaks. The estate is a short paddle to the Delaware Bay for those seeking more open waters.
The beauty of nature.
Design
Eagle Manor has a long and colorful history which includes the revolutionary war, the underground railroad, pirates, bootleggers, smugglers, and ghosts. The historic manor home, known previously as the Sheppard Brick House, was built in 1736 by English settlers and is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. It features extremely rare and historic classic brick patterns and Flemish bond brickwork. It has been completely renovated to provide all necessary modern amenities while still preserving its original charm.
