Grand Hopewell Estate and 102-acre parcel head to luxury auction without reserve

Two multimillion-dollar properties nestled in the bucolic countryside of Hopewell, New Jersey, are heading to the auction block. Miami-based luxury real estate auction firm Platinum Luxury Auctions, in cooperation with Callaway Henderson Sotheby’s International Realty in Princeton, has scheduled a live luxury auction for Oct. 15 where both properties will be sold to the highest bidders without reserve.

The estate is located in the bucolic countryside of Hopewell. The location offers proximity to Princeton (15 min.), Trenton (25 min.), New York City (75 min.) and Philadelphia (60 min.) NewJerseyLuxuryAuction.com.

Previously listed with asking prices of $7.75 million for the main residential estate and $3 million for the adjacent land parcel, the properties will be available for acquisition individually or collectively as a package.

The primary residential offering centers on a sprawling 26-acre estate surrounded by mature trees, rolling farmlands, and protected open spaces.

Key features of the expansive compound include:

  • The Main Residence: A massive 15,146-square-foot manor spanning four living levels, featuring 6 bedrooms, 8 full baths, 4 half-baths, a two-story library/study with an upper-level billiards lounge, a private elevator, and a lower-level entertainment zone complete with a home theater, fitness room, commercial-grade bar, and wine cellar.
  • Guest & Recreation Accommodations: A separate 2,137-square-foot guesthouse with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, alongside a 1,088-square-foot pool house.
  • Outdoor Amenities: A 50,000-gallon custom swimming pool, a private putting green with a sand trap, a newly resurfaced tennis court, and a 2-acre spring-fed pond.

Rare development potential: 102 adjoining acres

An adjacent, 102-acre parcel envelopes the 26-acre estate on three (3) sides. Preliminary subdivision plans are in place for the development of eleven (11) single-family homesites on the property, ranging in size from 6.1 to 14.35 acres each. The parcel is available for purchase separately or as a package with the 26-acre estate. NewJerseyLuxuryAuction.com.

Enveloping the residential estate on three sides is a separate 102-acre parcel of gently rolling countryside. The land features preliminary subdivision plans drafted for an exclusive enclave of 11 single-family estate home sites, ranging from 6.1 to 14.35 acres each. Bidders have the unique flexibility to target either the residential compound, the raw land development opportunity, or both during auction registration.

“This new offering provides opportunity for both retail and investment/development purchasers, given buyers have the option to purchase these properties individually or collectively,” Trayor Lesnock, founder and president of Platinum Luxury Auctions, said.

Though situated in a quiet, private sanctuary characterized by historic open spaces, the properties offer convenient access to major Mid-Atlantic metropolitan hubs. The site sits just 15 minutes from Princeton, 25 minutes from Trenton, one hour from Philadelphia and Newark Liberty International airports, and roughly 90 minutes from Manhattan.
