Probasco-Dittmar Farmstead

The Probasco-Dittmar Farmstead, also known as Duck Hollow Farm since the 1950s, is a historic farmstead in Colts Neck Township, in Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The farmstead consists of the main dwelling house and 16 outbuildings, 4 of which are historic while the remainder were added between the 1950s through the 1990s, and are not considered to be contributing properties. The farm complex showcases Dutch influence and slavery in colonial New Jersey farm life. The house is one of only a few remaining eighteenth century houses in Monmouth County that have a two-story, heavy timber Dutch frame. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since February 1, 2006.
