It is an architectural masterpiece. Much of it was built from dismantled European estates that were shipped to America in the 1920's. It sits on 13 old-growth acres and is located in the Rumson-Red Bank-Middletown in NJ area.
Authentic French Norman-style buildings are surrounded by fountains, old-growth trees and livestock filled pastures. A classical-style pool and cabanas overlook rolling lawns bordered by Greco-Roman statues imported here from Europe.
Built by the Straus family,of the Macy's department store dynasty, Cobble Close was a "gentleman's farm" and part of a massive 143 acre estate that was broken up and sold in 1949. Today the French dairy complex is divided into four separate, private luxury homes . It is the only co-op of its type on the East Coast, and properties here rarely come on the market.
The estate abuts the Navesink Country Club and is a short 45 minutes from Manhattan via fast commuter ferry (and less than 10 minutes from the beach). Miles of horse trails, stables and woodlands surround the compound where 18th and 19th century farm houses abound.
The property is 'farm accessed' so property taxes are extremely low.
This stunning estate must be seen to be fully appreciated.
The Property is located at: 310 Cooper Road, Red Bank, NJ 07701
