Privacy reigns supreme at this country retreat offering solitude, convenience and world class links
By B.L. Leiding
Bedminster, New Jersey--Tucked away in a corner of the earth known intimately to birds, horses and God, a superb and rather unusual home graces nearly 100 acres in the heart of the Somerset Hills.
Dubbed “Hawk Hollow Ranch,” it is located a stone's throw from the Trump National Golf Club, just beyond the Raritan River and the Fiddler's Elbow back nine.
Surrounded by woodland, the setting is supremely private--and yet shopping is within easy reach, along with access to major roads, airports and public transportation to New York City, approximately 50 miles away.
The unique blend of solitude, convenience and fine selection of golf makes the home equally suitable as a year-round residence or treasured weekend retreat.
It is this very dual quality--two diametrically opposed, yet desirable characteristics --that are prevalent throughout the home itself. Depending upon perspective, is it elegantly rustic? Or rustically elegant?
Either way, the bare wood motif hints at architectural roots more commonly found in Montana or Colorado, lending a note of the American west living large and well in New Jersey.
Upon first sight, the portico exudes an air of both enchantment and rugged individualism with exposed beams, open air roof, and raw tree columns with outstretched branches.
Together, these design elements converge in a defiantly bold artistic statement and are reconfigured in the rear of the home. There, a covered patio offers spectacular views filling onlookers with an unparalleled sense of tranquility and peace--the kind only nature can supply.
On the grounds, an expansive and turnkey facility will be immediately accommodating to the equestrian with a dozen horses or more--or it could be run as an income-producing enterprise--with or without a herd of cattle.
The choice is yours in this captivating home. Name your lifestyle. Call it an east coast retreat infused with a Rocky Mountain vibe--or a place to unwind after an invigorating day on the links.
