Wine cellars, indoor pools, elevators: 6 amazing Central Jersey home listings you must see

As most of us struggle to find a home with a yard and a finished basement in this insane real estate market riddled with low inventory, high mortgage rates and sky-high prices, those with big bank accounts are searching for estates with quite different prerequisites.

Well over the million-dollar mark, some homes currently for sale in Somerset, Hunterdon, Middlesex and Union counties have indoor pools, elevators, spas, dance floors and vineyards to count as their amenities.

Here are just a few that we can all drool over while we wait for the real estate market to cool down.

Windward Farm in Holland Township, Hunterdon County: $18 million

For three years, the Hunterdon County estate known as Windward Farm at 191 Miller Park Road in Holland Township has been awaiting a buyer — and a wine-lover.

Surrounded by 125 acres, the $18 million property is a Napa Valley-esque paradise with a vineyard with five grape varieties, fig orchard, two 18th-century barns, an apiary, a saltwater pool, basketball and tennis courts, and gardens.

Plus, the 19,000-square-foot lodge-style home on the property includes seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and three half-bathrooms, a separate apartment, home theater, gym, sauna, arcade room, wine cellar, indoor basketball court and music room.

Headquarters Hill Farm in Delaware Township, Hunterdon County: $7.5 million

Dating back to 1732, Headquarters Hill Farm at 280 Lambertville Headquarters Road in Delaware Township is just about as historic as you get in Hunterdon County, all with a fusion of modern living and details like stone fireplaces in the bedrooms and exposed wood beams.

This $7.5-million estate includes a four-bedroom-and-3½-bathroom house, a two-bedroom guest house, a greenhouse, a pond, an office with a loft, and two climate-controlled barns.

Set upon 200 acres, it’s extremely private, surrounded by rolling hills and woodlands.

Ravinn Estate in Warren, Somerset County: $4 million

You won’t find cozy, quaint details at Ravinn Estate at 6 Ravinn Lane in Warren, but you will find every modern touch you could ask for, including an indoor pool, floor-to-ceiling windows, an elevator and super-sleek interiors.

On its 7.5-acre property, the estate also includes tennis courts, two-story waterfalls, a pond and gazebo.

But inside the eight-bedroom and 12-bathroom home, priced at $4 million, buyers can find even more high-end details. A wow-worthy staircase welcomes visitors into the foyer, while the primary suite — with a sauna, study with gas fireplace, and direct access to the pool and gym below — offers a respite for residents.

There’s also a wet bar, dance floor, wine cellar and private theater downstairs.

00 Private Lane in Bernardsville, Somerset County: $12.995 million

Located at the aptly dubbed 00 Private Lane in Bernardsville, this estate has a sip of secrecy and a sip of something else. It includes its own wine cellar to accommodate more than 16,000 wine bottles, as well as a tasting room.

A taste of the finer things permeates every inch of this Georgian Mansion atop the Bernardsville Mountain, which has opulent fixtures such as soaring library, exposed wood beams and colossal chandeliers, all with stunning views.

On a walk-out level of the six-bedroom and 14-bathroom home, there is a spa, sauna, card room, billiard room, media room and access to the pool.

67 Tulip St. in Summit, Union County: $2.77 million

With tons of hip restaurants and shops, a spot near downtown Summit is the place to be. This six-bedroom, five-bathoom home at 67 Tulip St., has location and more for $2.77 million.

Classic and timeless, there is a custom mahogany library, marble bathroom and soaking tub, and a charming façade with two massive patios.

It includes a home theater, Turkish sauna and sound-proof office. There’s also an entertainment deck above the garage, perfect for lounging and watching the sun go down.

1639 Woodland Ave. in Edison, Middlesex County: $3.2 million

If you want a home with international appeal, then the French Normandy-style estate at 1639 Woodland Ave. in Edison, for sale for $3.2 million, is where to look.

Grand columns, a wood-lined private office, four fireplaces and a dumb waiter that allows food to be sent from the kitchen to the finished basement are just some of its touches.

There are so many custom details that were added to this home by the current owners that the listing includes a separate attached document just to include them all.

Middlesex County may be crowded, but it doesn’t feel that way on this property’s 1.5 acres, equipped with its own tennis court. It’s also located on one of the first private streets in the area.
