You cannot see Dove Island from the road. You may have already seen it in print. 40+ private acres in Sussex County, published in Great Houses & Gardens of New Jersey, held by one family since 1968, on land first farmed by the Westbrook family, among the earliest pioneers of this frontier. The 1890 farmhouse grew into a roughly 10,000 sq ft residence, redesigned by a Sag Harbor firm known for Hamptons estates. Stone, hand forged iron & deep wood run through the rooms. The two story great room rises around a monumental stone fireplace under a library that wraps the full second floor, & the kitchen is anchored by a cast iron British Aga. Down a gallery hall of lit museum cases sits a 19th century walnut paneled boardroom, dismantled on Wall Street & rebuilt here piece by piece. The primary suite holds dual dressing rooms, a fireplace sitting room & a spiral iron staircase to a hidden solarium under the primary bedroom. Beyond, a heated gunite pool & stone patios, a full pool house, tennis court, dual greenhouses, pond w/ bass, carp, catfish & koi, plus a climate controlled iron barn built to hold cars & collections. Multiple buildings & full generator infrastructure keep it running. The original farmland is ready for pasture, orchard or whatever comes next, w/ miles of equestrian & hiking trails close by. Estates like this are not built anymore. Multiple lots included. Shown by appointment only. Not currently farm assessed but can be, for significant savings.
