A LANDMARK WATERFRONT OPPORTUNITY--READY FOR ITS FINAL VISION Some properties take years to imagine, assemble, and bring to life. This one is already in motion. This exceptional offering presents a rare opportunity to complete a legacy estate on one of the most coveted stretches of the Navesink River--without the years of groundwork. Set on a remarkable point with 345 feet of sweeping waterfront, the scale and positioning are simply unmatched. The hard work has been done: design complete, structure rising, and a vision established. What remains is the most exciting part--bringing it to completion with your own design perspective and personal style. Constructed with an uncompromising commitment to quality, the residence incorporates substantial steel framing, an Alaskan cedar roof, hand-crafted stonework, and Tischler custom mahogany windows--materials chosen for both their beauty and longevity. The main house is enclosed and framed, offering a strong architectural foundation for what will become a truly world-class home. Interior spaces are designed on a grand scale, including a 600 SF motorized three-season room that opens effortlessly to panoramic river views. The walkout lower level--spanning over 8,000 SF with fireplace--has been thoughtfully planned for a full lifestyle experience, with the potential for additional ensuite bedrooms, a full kitchen, golf simulator, wine room, and expansive entertaining areas. Along the water, a 180-foot dock with boat lift and jet ski ramp is already in place, setting the stage for effortless days on the river. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with a 4,000 SF terrace, a steel-reinforced primary suite balcony designed for a hot tub, and approvals in place for a cabana and resort-style pool. The setting is extraordinary--wide-open water views, exceptional privacy, and sunsets that define the experience. With convenient access to the NYC high-speed ferry, this is a rare offering that blends escape with accessibility. A property of this caliber is seldom available at this stage. Complete the vision. Create something truly exceptional. *SF, Lot and room sizes are approximate. Information supplied by the sellers and/or third parties. Information is deemed reliable, but not guaranteed.
