Without a doubt, the Garden State has no shortage of high-end properties catering to those with a taste for opulence, whether you’re drawn to breathtaking views of the Hudson River, the seclusion of wooded estates, or the convenience of proximity to New York City - these homes are all set to redefine upscale living and take them to never-before-seen heights.

What are we looking for?

Granted, each and every one of us already has an idea of what we’re after, of what would constitute a luxurious home filled with all sorts of amenities and facilities. Most of us, for instance, would want a pool, and some of us would want an expansive lawn or garden, while there are those who want a sports court, a putting green, a hot tub, and the like. But we’re not just on the lookout for the usual features and amenities. No – we are looking for some of the standout features in these most sought-after listings, and you know precisely what we’re after – we’re talking indoor pools, home theaters, private docks, gourmet chef’s kitchens, and so much more.

A lot of homes already have standard pools, and we’ve seen our share of them! We, therefore, seek indoor pools that provide year-round relaxation and wellness opportunities without ever leaving home. These sleek, resort-style pools often come with additional spa amenities as well, including saunas and steam rooms. Another lavish feature and amenity that has been all the rage for many years (yet few standard homes ever have) are home theaters. Private home theaters are another hallmark of luxury, allowing you to enjoy a true cinematic experience with plush seating, cutting-edge sound systems, and high-definition screens (imagine watching – and betting – on a sports match in a home theater!). For those who also appreciate outdoor leisure, private docks offer direct access to New Jersey’s lakes, inlets, shores, and rivers, perfect for boating enthusiasts seeking a seamless transition from home to water.

These exclusive properties also boast other high-end features (you name it, they are sure to have it): custom wine cellars, expansive gourmet kitchens, fitness centers and bowling alleys, and hot yoga studios, to name a few. Many homes also feature floor-to-ceiling windows, grand staircases, and meticulously designed landscapes, creating the perfect balance between architectural beauty and modern convenience.

1. A splendid estate in Rumson

Location: 858 Navesink River Road

Selling price: $8.5 million

Unique amenities: an outdoor and indoor pool, a bowling alley and an arcade room, a racquetball court, a solarium atrium

The first property that caught our eye is a stand-out 22,000 square foot estate in Rumson, known for its stately homes and grand manors and parks. It was listed at $8.5 million, but it has actually gone down from its original selling price of $11.5 million. Aside from having all the features any palatial home could have, including 8 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, it has more than a few unique selling points up its sleeve. One of the best features of this home is that it has not one, but two pools – one located indoors and another one outdoors. But it doesn’t end there – the home also has a bowling alley comprised of two lanes, and right next to it is an arcade room! But just before you hit the arcade or the bowling alley, why not play a few rounds of racquetball at the specially-designed racquetball court? Update: the property was indeed sold for $6.5 million just recently!

2. A majestic escape in Alpine

Location: 887 Closter Dock Road

Selling price: $18 million

Unique amenities: a huge fitness center combined with an indoor basketball court, a game room, a tennis court, an outdoor pool, a theater, an 8-car garage

We’ve previously featured this outstanding property in Alpine, but it warrants a closer look. After all, if you love sports, you absolutely can’t go wrong with this fantastic buy! Not only does this more than 35,000 square foot home have an astonishing 18 bathrooms and 11 bedrooms – it is also situated on 8 acres of prime fields and gardens. For $18 million, this is definitely one of the most expensive homes in the Garden State. But the wonders don’t end there – inside the home, you will find an indoor basketball court coupled with a huge fitness center. But the piece de resistance is the jaw-dropping game room, which features all kinds of games such as table tennis, air hockey, a number of classic arcade games, and more. If you aren’t tired yet, you can enjoy a game of tennis at the US Open DecoTurf outdoor tennis court, right next to the outdoor pool.

3. A grand home in Closter

Location: 23 Susan Drive

Selling price: $2.3 million

Unique amenities: a two-story entryway, a gourmet kitchen, a wine cellar, and a golf simulator

This palatial Closter home has a slightly lower price tag compared to the other homes and estates on the list, but it doesn’t mean that it’s lacking in the finer amenities. In fact, it has all the accoutrements anyone can expect – including 6 bedrooms and five 1/2 bathrooms plus a 2-story foyer or entryway made of marble, a wine cellar made of glass, and a gourmet kitchen. Moreover, for golf lovers, it has a unique selling point: a state-of-the-art golf simulator.

4. A stately residence in Brielle

Location: 818 Linden Lane

Selling price: $8.5 million

Unique amenities: two private docks, a heated pool, an outdoor kitchen, tennis courts, a 7-car garage, a home theater, a wine cellar, a sauna, and an aquarium on the main level

This magnificent residence has a large number of rooms: it’s got 9 bedrooms and 19 baths, but its major draw is its views of the Manasquan River. But it has all the trappings of a beautiful home with a full list of amenities, from the home theater to the heated pool to the sauna and a total of two private docks. And there’s more: the home has tennis courts, an outdoor kitchen, and a stunning aquarium located on the main level, in full view of guests. Note: the listing for this property has actually been removed, but we wouldn’t be surprised if someone snatches it up in the meantime!

5. A well-loved oasis in New Vernon

Location: 5 Sutton Drive

Selling price: Previously listed at $3.6 million

Unique amenities: a one-hole golf course, a pool with a waterfall, a tennis court, an art studio, a hot tub, a koi pond, a game/media room, a music studio, an indoor pool, and a gym

Although this property has been removed from the list of properties for sale at the moment, we feel that it’s still worth discussing – and who knows, it might go back on the market soon enough. This 7,200 square foot home and property has been designated a ‘lifestyle resort,’ and it’s easy to see why – it’s got an expansive 6 acres of grounds plus a 1-hole golf course (not just a golf simulator), a tennis court, an art studio, a nature pool with a waterfall feature, and a hot tub. But it also has an outdoor kitchen, a koi pond, an indoor pool, a game and media room, and a gym/fitness center. It’s a property where you can certainly get your creative juices flowing since it has both an art studio and a music/dance studio.

Alpine is not a stranger to beautiful estates and homes fit for a queen or king – but this home on 12 The Esplanade takes the proverbial cake and is listed at the whopping price of $16 million. So what can you expect with such a palace? First off, it is spread across 2 acres and has a pool, a sports court, an oversized living and barbecue area, and a cabana. With its 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, there are many places where you can relax.

This property has more than 10,000 square feet of living space, and it has a two-story foyer with 5 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. But the major draw of this home is its grand ballroom, complete with soaring ceilings and crystal chandeliers! It also has, as expected, a gourmet chef’s kitchen, terraces on different floors, a gym, a seven-car garage, a home theater, a heated pool with an 8-feet waterfall, a patio, a deck, and an outdoor cabana.

Post, and the 6,000 square feet of refined elegance is a true testament to the home’s beauty.
