Fawn Hill Farm, a colonial estate with a working farm on 34 acres, will sell at a live, on-site auction on November 12, according to Concierge Auctions. Originally listed in its entirety for $22.5 million, the property has been divided into three parcels which are each selling absolute-to the highest bidder regardless of price. The auction is being conducted in cooperation with listing agent Mary Horn of Weichert Realtors.
"This is one of the most premier and unique properties in all of New Jersey," Horn said. "Nestled in the idyllic countryside, it's a serene retreat, while a mere 45-minute commute to the boundless amenities, business and entertainment of New York City."
The three parcels are 665 Spring Valley Rd., which includes 16 acres with the main estate residence; 655 Spring Valley Rd., which includes 13 acres plus a caretaker home and stables; and 677 Spring Valley Rd., which includes four acres of land.
Originally built in the late 1930s, the estate's main residence has 21 rooms including seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms and three half bathrooms. The home's interior features pegged hardwood floors, arched doorways, a Georgian staircase and seven fireplaces. The 33-ft. high foyer contains an elevator that makes way to the second floor with bedrooms and bathrooms. Features of the floor plan include a formal living and dining room, kitchen, breakfast nook, library with a wet bar, his-and-her dressing rooms in the master suite and a lower level media/exercise room complete with a bar and full-sized bowling alley.
The grounds are highlighted by a tree-lined driveway, private courtyard, two-bedroom guest house, sunken formal garden and a side patio overlooking a garden with a swimming pool and pool house. The nearby motor courtyard has 12 bay garages and a cottage with two apartments.
A community known for its open meadows, quiet country roads and hundreds of acres of woods and wildlife, Fawn Hill Farm lies in Harding Township, amidst the rolling hills of Morris County. This enclave with small town charm is located 35 miles from New York City, 25 miles to Newark and 83 miles to Philadelphia. 40% of the 20-square-mile township is declared open space, making way to a rural, country lifestyle where cows, horses and sheep can graze, all the while having easy access to nearby shopping centers and major highways.
