Palatial Château-Style Estate Along the Navesink River on the Market for US$12 Million

MIDDLETOWN, NEW JERSEY– A myriad of lavishly landscaped terraces and picturesque views of the Navesink River and the Atlantic Ocean distinguish this private estate in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Terraces on the Navesink River artfully blends the charm of a French château with Old World elegance and New World sophistication. The estate provides a boat dock with an oversized power lift jutting out more than 100 feet into the water. A 50-minute high-speed ferry ride to New York City, known as the SeaStreak, is available nearby, as well.

The property is being marketed by Christie’s International Real Estate, the world’s leading luxury real estate network, and offered at US$12 million by Affiliate Gloria Nilson & Co. Real Estate.

Stately gates open to a stone paver-accented “heated” driveway winding amid ivy-clad stone walls that define terraces replete with flowering crepe myrtle, magnolia and cherry trees, interspersed with an array of majestic evergreens. Draped with castleton-green and bronze-toned slate tiles, the dramatic rooflines are adorned with ornamental turrets and cupolas, and crowned with a decorative widow’s watch. In addition to the vast amenities expected in an estate of this scope, such a lovely home theatre, also included are two separate apartments for guests or staff.

 “With its scenic views and terraced gardens overlooking the Navesink River, this unmatched riverfront property affords a perfect setting for the boating enthusiast,” said Kathleen Coumou, Executive Director for Christie’s International Real Estate.  “This spectacular riverfront property offers a lifestyle especially for those who work in New York City seeking a year round retreat only one hour away.”

A magnificent 2.5-story, pillared portico leads towards sweeping multi-terraced, gated grounds to the water’s edge. A patio paved with Tennessee crab orchard–stone surrounds a salt-water pool with an elevated spa and cascading waterfalls. Natural stone boulders form walls and steps that lead to gently curved paver paths, which border rolling lawns framed by plantings bursting with seasonal color. The estate overs a myriad of sports options, including an indoor pool, indoor racquetball court, a spa and a gym.
