HUNTERDON COUNTY NJ ,Christie’s International Real Estate Northern New Jersey, an exclusive partner of Christie’s International Real Estate, voted Christie’s Affiliate of the Year in 2017 and 2018, and the fastest growing real estate brokerage in northern New Jersey, announced that Windward Farm is currently listed for sale by Realtor-Associate® Priscilla Reynolds of the Ridgewood Office. This extraordinary, secluded farm estate is a one-of-a-kind property that cannot be replicated. “The first time touring this property, I was astonished by the superb construction, detail, and wide array of amenities I’ve not seen elsewhere. I am honored to represent the sale of Windward Farm.  It is more than a luxury property; it is a family home that has unmatched beauty and character. The property is also conveniently a one hour and fifteen-minute drive from New York City and Philadelphia,” said Priscilla Reynolds.

Nestled within 125 acres of rolling hills in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, Windward Farm embodies the perfect marriage between nature and world-class craftsmanship. This exceptional home boasts over 18,000 square feet of living space – including 7 bedrooms, 7 full baths, and 3 partial baths – and gorgeous all-season views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Extending over a quarter of a mile, the wide driveway is flanked by river stone and bordered by open fields, beautiful barns, and acres of vineyards – truly emulating paradise on earth. Every facet of this property strikes the perfect balance between sophisticated luxury living and natural elegance – making it an unrivaled home with limitless opportunities to add your own warmth and touch, and offering endless options for entertaining loved ones at gatherings, both intimate and formal.

It is evident that the finest building materials are meticulously incorporated into each and every custom detail throughout all three levels of the home. The harmonious blend of natural materials includes massive solid wood beams (harvested exclusively for this home’s construction) and hand-carved front entry doors created with 8 separate wood panels. The unique beauty of the custom stonework, millwork, plaster finishes, doors, and windows, is unmatched. As demonstrated by the hardwood and natural stone floors with multiple-zone in-floor radiant heat, Windward Farm is where aesthetic meets function. 

It is impossible to overlook the Great Room, the center jewel of the home, with its soaring ceilings, massive stone fireplace, dramatic custom geometric windows, a double-loft, and expansive mountain-views. It is not only stunning, but also multifunctional as it can easily accommodate over 100 guests for any occasion. Stone arches on both sides of the Great Room invite one into wide galleries perfectly suited for the finest art installation. A private library with custom built-in cabinetry and another soaring, wood-burning stone fireplace offers a tranquil space for study and contemplation. The open family room, located immediately adjacent to the beautiful custom chef’s kitchen, offers yet another wood-burning stone fireplace and built-in surround sound for casual television viewing. Just outside the family room, a covered stone terrace features an outdoor dining area with another wood-burning stone fireplace, and magnificent westerly views to enjoy striking sunsets as the day ends and the sun kisses the horizon. The terrace then extends the entire length of the home and culminates with a second covered area immediately adjacent to the master bedroom suite. 

In addition to being an exceptional place to call home, Windward Farm offers an immense variety of amenities and features one would expect to find only at the finest resorts and spas. An indoor regulation Squash court, an eight person Swedish wet/dry sauna, a game room, an outdoor tennis court, a five- person jacuzzi, and a heated 50’x 25′ saltwater pool are only some of the many luxuries available to the future owner of this remarkable property.

And Windward Farm is, indeed, a farm. The property offers a massive, raised bed vegetable garden, apiary, custom chicken coop, fig orchard, and two vineyard areas dedicated to the growing of vinifera of several varieties along with acres of additional fields waiting to be cultivated. Enjoy farm fresh eggs from your own backyard and a wide array of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, beets, carrots, peppers and more, harvested each season. Fresh herbs abound. Gallons of pure honey are gifted by the millions of worker bees. The existing vineyards have been designed to accommodate large outdoor functions or intimate vineyard dinners. In addition to two renovated historic barns, the property offers a newly constructed 7,200 square foot clear span pole barn with 18-foot ceilings. Needless to say, this property must be visited to fully appreciate its unique beauty. 

After touring Windward Farm, one will understand that for the fortunate buyer, this property will not just provide an incomparable lifestyle that can only be owned by few, but an opportunity to continue the legacy of the home through one’s own creativity and vision.
