Stately and Sophisticated Far Hills Estate

6 Sherwood Farm Road Far Hills, New Jersey 07931 United States

Privacy, tranquility, and an incredible location set the tone at this magnificent custom-built Far Hills estate.

At the end of a winding and evergreen-lined drive, the woods divide to reveal this beautiful, 6 bedroom, 7 & 2 half-bath home. A timeless dwelling, it’s set on 14.57 peaceful acres. Settled in a sought-after neighborhood, the property is made up of sprawling lawns, gardens and significant recreational areas, all surrounded by acres of woodland. Mature plantings and landscaped borders add to the traditional aesthetic at the stately residence. Outdoor opportunities advance its allure. A bluestone back terrace with a wood-burning fireplace and gas grill offer formal entertaining space, while the fenced-in sport court with outdoor lighting, equipped for tennis and basketball, provides for active living and playing. Bordering it is a pergola with a stone fire-pit -- perfect for courtside viewing.

Four finished levels with over 11,000 square feet of finished space accommodate for a multitude of interior entertaining possibilities.

Designed by Beer & Coleman and built by Majestic Builders this handsome home was thoughtfully and masterfully constructed. On the first floor: formal living and dining rooms flank the elegant front entrance, a two-story great room, adjoining sunroom, cherry library, wet bar, gourmet kitchen and butler’s pantry with top-of-the-line appliances. The second floor boasts 5 spacious en-suite bedrooms, including the primary. A guest suite and a gift-wrapping room adorn the third floor, and the lower level has it all: a sun-filled recreation room with fireplace, two wet bars, billiards room, gym, wine cellar, an office with full bath, plus walk-out French doors to the rear grounds.

Extraordinary attention to detail, space and light are the hallmarks of this incredible residence.

A minimum of 10’ ceilings on the first floor and an abundance of large, spectacular windows and French doors throughout this entire home offer a wealth of natural light and open space. Both inside and out, no architectural element was overlooked. Custom moldings and an array of millwork, arched thresholds, wood-paneling, stacked crown moldings, coffered ceilings, tray ceilings and cove lighting are found from start to finish. With only a short distance to town, trains and major roads its location offers an easy commute. Access to some of NJ’s top private and public schools and the restaurants and shops of neighboring villages makes this exceptional house a wonderful place to call home.
