Mixed-Use Land for Sale in Far Hills, New Jersey
196 Route 202, Far Hills, NJ 07931
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.
