“Hilltop,” An Exceptional Estate Property
Eileen Ford’s magnificent Hilltop estate in the Califon section of Tewksbury Township is a sophisticated property integrating a mix of distinctly American, European and Scandinavian styles collected by Ford and her husband, Jerry, on their travels around the world. Best known as the founder of Ford Models, Eileen Ford was recognized for her sense of style and good taste, which shines through in Hilltop’s welcoming rooms.
Known for their gracious entertaining style, the Fords hosted many world-famous guests at their home, including international models, photographers, fashion icons and actresses including Jerry Hall and Kim Basinger. It was important to this high-profile couple that their home was a relaxing haven, and they put much care and thought into every design aspect of Hilltop. Their global travels resulted in one-of-a-kind details like kitchen tiles from Europe, the sunroom’s limestone flooring which dates back to 17th century France, and wood paneling in the library created by wood carvers from Austria. These elements merge beautifully in Hilltop’s comfortable, colorful layout.
Pastoral scenery of magnificent sunsets over Round Valley Reservoir, the Hunterdon Hills and distant meadows can be enjoyed from Hilltop’s exceptional vantage point. The home, pool and tennis court are sited on level, open property, all of which are carefully sited to take in long views stretching as far New Brunswick and Bridgewater.
