You cannot see Dove Island from the road. You may have already seen it in print. Forty two private acres in Sussex County, published in Great Houses and Gardens of New Jersey, held by one family since 1968, on land first farmed by the Westbrook family among the earliest pioneers of this frontier. The 1890 farmhouse grew into a roughly 10,000 square foot residence, redesigned by a Sag Harbor firm known for Hamptons estates. Stone, hand forged iron, and deep wood run through the rooms. The two story great room rises around a monumental stone fireplace under a library that wraps the full second floor, and the kitchen is anchored by a cast iron British Aga. Down a gallery hall of lit museum cases sits a 19th century walnut paneled boardroom, dismantled on Wall Street and rebuilt here piece by piece. The primary suite holds dual dressing rooms, a fireplace sitting room, and a spiral iron stair to a hidden solarium above the treetops. Beyond, a heated gunite pool and stone patios, a full pool house, tennis court, dual greenhouses, and a climate controlled iron barn built to hold cars and collections. Multiple buildings and full generator infrastructure keep it running. The original farmland is ready for pasture, orchard, or whatever comes next, with miles of equestrian and hiking trails close by. Estates like this are not built anymore. Property current not farm assessed but can be for significant savings. Multiple lots included. Shown by appointment only.
