Tucked away on 17 secluded, wooded acres in Plumsted Township’s prestigious Cream Ridge, this 3,450 sq ft custom log cabin is a rare blend of rustic luxury and modern convenience. Set back from the road on a half-mile private driveway, the setting offers unmatched tranquility and privacy in a farm-assessed, woodlands-managed sanctuary. Built in 1999, this one-of-a-kind residence impresses from the moment you arrive, beginning with a classic rocking-chair front porch and culminating in a stunning backyard resort, complete with a 16’x32’ inground pool (with new liner), pool house, paver patio with firepit, and outdoor shower with hot and cold water. The oversized multi-level deck features a hot tub and mini kitchen—perfect for entertaining. Inside, the grand living room stuns with soaring vaulted ceilings with skylights, a dramatic two-story stone fireplace, and dual French doors opening to the backyard. The large kitchen is equally impressive, offering quartz counters, full appliance package, and direct access to the rear deck via a sliding door. The first floor also includes a study with oak hardwood floors, a guest bath, and laundry room/mud room with garage and backyard access. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms feature ceiling fans and custom closet storage systems. The luxurious primary suite includes new luxury vinyl plank flooring, a gas fireplace, walk-in closet, and a spa-like en-suite bathroom with double vanities, a jacuzzi tub, and oversized dual shower. The finished basement offers incredible bonus space, including a climate-controlled game room set up with walk-out capability to Bilco doors. The unfinished utility side of the basement has firewood storage with a Wood Waiter (elevator) to lift the firewood to the main-level fireplace. There are 2 detached buildings: A large heated office, workshop or sportspersons paradise and a storage building with attached lean-to. Other amazing features are a Generac generator, Andersen windows, 3-zone HVAC, solar panels (leased), and new roof (2023) complete this private retreat. This is more than just a home—it’s a private estate where timeless custom craftsmanship, thoughtful upgrades, and storybook charm converge. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those seeking serenity, space, and sophistication in one of New Jersey’s most coveted rural settings. Includes a 1 year Home Warranty.
