Property Description

Overlooking the Manasquan River, in the Herbertsville section of North Brick, we offer this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, known as ''The Rock of Gibraltar''. Nestled behind mature landscaping and designed for effortless luxury living, this exceptional custom brick and cedar shingle estate offers a rare combination of sophisticated interiors, resort-style outdoor amenities, and uncompromising craftsmanship throughout. Every detail of this remarkable residence has been thoughtfully curated to create an elevated lifestyle experience centered around privacy, comfort, and entertainment on a grand scale. The backyard is nothing short of spectacular; a private resort designed for year-round enjoyment. Anchored by an Anthony Sylvan heated pool and spa completed in 2017, the outdoor living spaces feature a dramatic waterfall, ColorLogic LED lighting, automated controls, and a natural gas heater for extended seasonal use. Expansive travertine terraces surround the pool and entertaining areas, complemented by hand-cut granite seating walls, custom LED lighting, and professionally designed mature landscaping that creates a secluded, tranquil setting. The immediate river area is a sanctuary for eagles, ducks, aquatic birds, deer, and many other indigenous species. The outdoor experience continues with an extraordinary custom granite wood-burning fireplace with natural gas starter, a 48-inch natural gas fire pit with blue glass, and a fully appointed outdoor kitchen featuring a 42-inch Wolff grill, Wolff side burner, Sub-Zero outdoor refrigerator, Lynx bar sink, granite counters, and extensive stainless storage. Integrated Russound audio with multiple speaker zones and discrete landscape lighting transforms the property into a true luxury retreat ideal for intimate evenings or large-scale entertainment. Inside, timeless elegance meets modern convenience. Rich natural materials, extensive millwork, crown moldings, plantation shutters, designer window treatments, and solid oak and travertine flooring create a refined yet welcoming atmosphere throughout the home. Two unique fireplaces are located in the great room and the living room, both of which are wood-burning with large gas inserts. The great room fireplace is Italian Carrara, whereas the family room is American stone, both of which add warmth and architectural character to the formal and casual living spaces. The chef's kitchen is beautifully appointed with premium appliances, including a Wolff six-burner gas cooktop, double Wolff SS30 electric convection ovens, Sub-Zero tower refrigerator and freezer, sharp microwave drawer, Franke stainless sink, and custom soft-close Grabill cabinetry with under-cabinet LED lighting. Adjacent gathering spaces include a gracious great room with a wet bar and Sub-Zero wine cooler, a formal living room with custom built-ins, a private library with built-ins, and a thoughtfully designed mudroom/laundry with custom cabinets.
