The properties may be acquired individually or separately, a decision that will be determined in advance by the bidders, who must state their purchase preference – that is, for the 26-acre estate, the 102-acre parcel, or both properties – as a part of auction registration. The luxury auction® house is offering the properties in cooperation with listing broker Judson Henderson, who is also a principal of Callaway Henderson Sotheby's International Realty in Princeton, NJ.
"We had tremendous success working with the Callaway Henderson team in Hopewell several years ago, and we're looking forward to repeating that process here," said Trayor Lesnock, Platinum's founder and President. "This new offering provides opportunity for both retail and investment/development purchasers, given buyers have the option to purchase these properties individually or collectively."
The residential estate is sited on 26 acres of beautifully manicured grounds surrounded by mature trees, allowing for exceptional privacy. Its electronic gate opens to a gently winding driveway terminating at the courtyard entry. The stately main residence (four living levels; 15,146 sf; 6 beds 8 full baths and 4 half-baths, including a semi-private living suite for guests or staff) is complimented by a pool house (one level; 1,088 sf; one full bath and kitchenette) and separate guesthouse (two living levels; 2,137 sf; 3 beds and 2 full baths and one half-bath).
Notable features of the residence include a gourmet kitchen, two-story library/study with upper-level billiards lounge, an art studio, multiple gas fireplaces, a private elevator serving all levels, and a lower-level recreation and entertainment lounge with a fitness room, home theater, commercial-grade bar and wine cellar. Estate grounds include a 50,000-gallon pool, putting green and sand trap, a newly resurfaced tennis court and a 2-acre, spring-fed pond.
The surrounding, 102-acre parcel is comprised of gently rolling lands that envelope the 26-acre estate on three sides. Preliminary plans were drafted in 2019 for a subdivision of the parcel into eleven (11) estate lots, ranging in size from 6.1 acres to 14.35 acres each, with an average parcel size of approximately 8.8 acres. "It's an ideal location for the right person to create an enclave of brand-new estate homes that enjoy the buffer space and privacy of a large lot," noted David Ashcroft, Platinum's Managing Director.
Though located within Hopewell's quiet countryside, the properties are also within close proximity of a host of major metro areas: it's just a 15-min drive to the heart of Princeton, 1 hour to both Philadelphia and Newark International Airports, and 90 mins to Manhattan.
Previews of the properties are available by daily appointment through October 14, 2026, between the hours of 11am and 5pm ET. Appointments may be scheduled by contacting Platinum's project manager, Aaron Carmody, at 800.683.3789. Luxury auction® documents, photos and videography of the property are also hosted online at NewJerseyLuxuryAuction.com.
