Exquisite French Country Manor in Far Hills
Start the New Year in grand style as the next owner of this luxurious Far Hills estate home ideally set on an elevated 10-acre site. Designed to replicate the elegant manors seen in the French countryside, its 15,000-plus square-foot floor plan offers five bedrooms, eight full baths and a powder room in a detailed 18-room layout. Dramatic views of the Somerset Hills and verdant valley extend for miles, creating a dramatic backdrop for this estate. Outdoor features include a generous view-facing terrace, swimming pool with lanai, lily pond enhanced by a waterfall, four-stall horse barn and lit tennis court.
Approached by a gated entry, the classic French architecture is finished in stone and stucco capped by a slate roof. Highlights of the inimitable floor plan are a soaring two-story entrance foyer with a graceful butterfly staircase, a great room warmed by a marble-clad fireplace, a baronial dining room, informal living room and sun-splashed garden room. The fireside chef’s kitchen features a huge center island, upper-end stainless steel appliances, custom cabinets, granite counters and adjacent hexagonal breakfast room. Additional gathering spaces on the main floor include a beamed ceiling family room, walnut paneled library, home theater and multi-purpose room.
Upstairs, a privately situated master suite has two spa-inspired baths, dual room-sized closet, a private balcony, mirrored dressing room and owner’s bedroom anchored by a marble fireplace. There is plenty of space for guests in four more bedroom suites on the second level.
An artfully-finished lower level presents an au pair suite, wine room, exercise room, sauna, full bath, laundry room, three large, unfinished storage rooms, and a slate-floored gallery opening to the terrace, rear grounds, pool and tennis court. Additional storage options are found in the heated and attached four-car garage.
