If you are in Far Hills for the 99th annual Far Hills Race Meeting at Moorland Farm on Saturday, October 19, you may want to drive by an exceptional Turpin listing located at 98 Spring Hollow Road which features equestrian facilities. Custom-built by Coley Mannion in 2000, the four bedroom, five-and-one-half bath residence is set on ten plus farm assessed acres. The property borders Natirar parklands and the Raritan River, creating an exceptionally pretty setting.
There is a seven-stall horse barn with heated tack room, feed room and ample hay storage. An outbuilding with an office and kitchenette, four turn-out fenced pastures and a riding ring are further equestrian-friendly features on the acreage.
Highlights of the home’s graceful interior such as reclaimed hardwood flooring, dimensional ceiling treatments, three fireplaces and architectural moldings lend style and character to many rooms. A fireside living room opens to a bluestone terrace where you can hear the gently flowing river in the distance. A wonderful heart-of-the-home space is an upgraded chef’s kitchen adjoining a two-story great room anchored by a towering fireplace. Tucked behind pocket doors and capped by a glass ceiling, the sunny conservatory offers four seasons of enjoyment and ever-changing views. Another notable room is the first floor office connecting to a full bath, which would also make an ideal guest suite.
Upstairs, another fireplace is a focal point in the luxurious master suite’s sitting room, while a second story veranda overlooking meadows and a spa-inspired bath containing a steam shower, separate tub and double sink vanity are welcome amenities. Hardwood flooring continues throughout this level which also includes a convenient laundry room and a dramatic bridge overlooking the great room. Additional living space is found in the daylight basement where a studio, exercise room and full bath were added in 2014.
Outdoors, a refreshing in-ground pool has a changing room cabana plus a shed for pool equipment. Parklike surroundings include level green lawns, perennial gardens and mature trees.
Far Hills offers a sought-after location near shopping, fine restaurants, recreational activities, interstate highways, Newark Liberty International Airport and Midtown Direct train service to Manhattan.
