Description
Lana Lobell Farm, 72 acres of prime farm land with a stately 23 room manor home, is now offered for sale. Designed by Cross & Cross in the 1930s, this magnificent country home commands spectacular views of the Lamington River and the adjacent farmland. The farm is surrounded by over 1,000 acres of conservation land. The house, approximately 13,500 square feet of living space on three floors, features 10 Bedrooms, 7 Full Bathrooms and 4 half-baths. The Living Room, Dining Room, Library, and Dressing Room/Sitting Room have wood burning fireplaces with marble surrounds. Throughout the house there are 11-12 foot ceilings, with the Living Room ceiling soaring to 15 feet. The Library is paneled in Butternut wood found growing on the property. It is estimated that it took over 7,000 man-hours to hand craft the Library’s carved moldings, cornices, and cabinets. There is an in-ground pool, and a brick Pool House/Changing Room. Gracious country living on this scale is very hard to find in the New York City area. Over the last few years, this Southern style Georgian brick home has been updated with a new roof, windows, and state of the art electrical, heating, and air-conditioning systems. Old world craftsmen restored the wide plank flooring, original mahogany doors, hand carved plaster moldings, wood paneling, and leaded windows throughout house. An additonal 100 acres and 110 box stalls in two barns are available for $7.9 million. Miles of newly constructed 4-panel white wood fences define the boundaries of the fields, stables and numerous outbuildings currently serving the farm. On this addition parcel there is a 1/4 mile oval track and acres of pastures and paddocks with electric and water outlets. The rental cottages and apartments revenues on the second lot cover the cost of property taxes and much of the current maintenance expense. It is a short drive from the farm to many golf clubs including: Fiddler’s Elbow, Trump National, Hamilton Farms, Raritan Valley, and Fox Hollow. Nearby are Interstates I-78 and I-287, Solberg and Somerville Airports. The Newark Airport is a 30 minute drive; New York City is 1 hour. Final approval was granted 12/2007 for the entire 172 acre farm to be sub-divided into 9 lots to accommodate 6 Bedroom houses, four lots permit ancillary buildings. Development Rights worth multi-millions. For additional information go to: LobellFarms.com
