Description

May qualify for redevelopment zone designation, offering exceptional future potential. Located in Far Hills, "Overleigh" is among the grandest estate properties in the Somerset Hills. In the mid-1990s, the current owner, working with a highly regarded architect, meticulously recreated two of the property's three original wings. The residence is set on 10 magnificently landscaped acres, approached by a long drive that winds past a dramatic reflecting pool. A side portico connects to the attached three-car garage. "Overleigh" has retained all the splendor of an earlier era, showcasing stained-glass windows, elaborately mantled fireplaces, and exquisite handcrafted woodwork throughout. A gracious floor plan spans three levels and includes seven bedrooms, eight full baths, and two powder rooms, along with a five-room apartment on the third floor. A unique town-granted variance permits a portion of the building to be used for commercial purposes, and that variance transfers to the next owner.
