5 New Jersey Coastal Estates from Ventnor City to Stone Harbor

Along the water’s edge on the Ventnor boardwalk, this spectacularly reimagined residence unfolds across 125 feet of direct beachfront frontage within a self-contained gated compound on an extraordinary 22,000 SF property. A grand foyer sets the tone, anchored by an opulent staircase and flowing to a formal 16-seat dining area and an entertainment lounge with a fully equipped handcrafted bar reminiscent of speakeasy days gone by. Soaring walls of windows brighten a two-story open-concept living room with easy access to a chef envied kitchen outfitted with Viking appliances. The two-story primary suite enjoys spectacular ocean views, complemented by three additional privately entranced bedroom suites—each with its own living area, state of the art kitchen, and accompanying bath. Outside, 3,000 SF of upper multi-level decking frames panoramic ocean views above a sun-drenched 52-foot pool, spa, lush landscaping, and an outdoor kitchen beneath an expansive entertainment veranda.

Set on five acres of pristine, park-like grounds in Holmdel, this rare Monmouth County compound pairs the timeless elegance of a bygone era with modern luxury and remarkable flexibility.

Inside the main residence, eight bedrooms and 5.5 baths are joined by eight fireplaces, each framed by handcrafted period wood hearths that underscore the home’s heritage. A post-and-beam barn incorporates original materials from the main house, while two tack houses and a 10-car garage add purposeful utility. Days here unfold with space, privacy, and a sense of history made livable.
