About This Property

While the notion of a country home has captured the romantic heart of many looking to add a sense of tranquility to their lives, bucolic settings, convenience and fine, designer homes are sometimes hard to find. “Chase Hollow”, however, is all this and more. Notable for its exceptional location within the Somerset Hills and easy four-minute drive to the Far Hills train station, the ten-acre property offers privacy to the rear with beguiling views of a rolling pasture and meandering brook. A canopy of mature hardwoods blends with expanses of lawn and gardens to surround the house and pool. A recently created outdoor kitchen with patio and covering pergola enhance poolside enjoyment. The perimeter of the yard is fenced against deer and includes an exceptionally well secured gated entry. The 7100+ square foot house has been extensively renovated and decorated since 2003 under the designer hand of Jeff Haines from Butler’s of Far Hills, and the exacting eye of its current owners. In 2008, the walk-out terrace level was finished with the same level of quality to provide another 2,000+ square feet of space in the new billiard/tavern room, 2-room wine cellar, garden room, guest/fifth bedroom with full bath, and the pre-existing exercise room. Hi-tech lighting, 6-zone heating and air conditioning systems, computer, music and security systems add the grace note to living in comfort. The stunning kitchen was designed for the gourmet requirements of the owners, and links directly to the family room and its stone fireplace as well as the informal dining area with expansive views of the rear grounds. To accommodate more formal entertaining, the finely appointed dining room with faux finished tea-stained walls complements a generous living room with wainscoted fireplace. The cozy first floor study with brick fireplace communicates directly with the conservatory through a pillared entry, providing a superb flow of space throughout the first floor. Second floor space is highlighted by four fabulous baths and their adjoining redecorated bedrooms, accessed by two stairways. A fifth bedroom was transformed into a high-tech executive home office with extensive wood cabinetry and ample back-up systems. The luxuriously redesigned master suite now includes two dressing rooms, separate sink areas, and a limestone-floored master bath with whirlpool tub, spacious shower with multiple shower heads, and European fitments.
