4 Luxury Retreats from New Hope to Ocean City

Beyond a gated entry, a long, serene drive leads to a private retreat moments from New Hope, where gardens, water, and light set an unhurried tone. Days revolve around a brand new tennis/pickleball court, a spectacular koi pond with aerators, multiple cascading waterfalls, and tucked-away seating, plus surrounding terraces made for lingering. Nearby, a resort-style pool and spa anchor summer afternoons with a built-in grill, pizza oven, and a dedicated pool bath for easy indoor-outdoor flow. Inside, multiple gathering spaces invite conversation: a sunlit den framed by a wall of windows and a dramatic stone, wood-burning fireplace; a dining room with its own fireplace opening to the deck; and a living room with another fireplace, a stone accent wall, and abundant windows. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a sitting area, two oversized closets, elevator access, and a sauna in the spa-inspired bath—minutes from New Hope Borough’s dining, shopping, and culture.

In Ocean City’s exclusive Gardens neighborhood, this new-construction residence is taking shape under Warwick Builders, one of the area’s premier custom home builders.

As a one-of-a-kind build, it’s conceived to live beautifully in every season—made for unhurried mornings, easy entertaining, and evenings that feel a little more refined simply by being at home.
