One of New Jersey's most expensive homes -- a nearly 10,000-square-foot English country estate on 46 acres along the Ramapo River -- went on the market this week for $29.5 million, according to its Trulia listing.
The Mahwah property is now the second priciest home on the market, only outdone by the Stone Mansion in Alpine, which is listed at just under $40 million.
The home has 10 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms.
While the inside of the residence -- based off its Trulia photos -- appears very traditional and somewhat outdated, the never-ending list of high-end amenities is what allows this property to offer "an incomparable lifestyle," as the listing puts it.
To start, a full-fledged equestrian farm is on the property with a 20-stall state-of-the art barn, an indoor riding area, paddocks and trails. If that's not enough to keep you busy outside, also on the property is a football/soccer field, a basketball court, an outdoor infinity pool and a spa area.
The amenities don't stop when you head inside the home. According to the listing, there are "sport lounges" throughout the home, as well as an indoor pool, a massive wine cellar, a home theater, an English pub, a massage room, a gym and a padded recreation area.
According to property records, the home was assessed for just over $5 million. Property taxes are $101,823.
So who owns the second most expensive home on the New Jersey real estate market? That would be Amy Towers, a philanthropist who was previously married to hedge fund billionaire Larry Robbins, the CEO of Glenview Capital Management.
(If you think the list of amenities of this home are a little absurd, don't overlook the fact that Larry Robbins once built an indoor hockey rink on his property in Alpine.)
According to New York Magazine, Towers was a banker before helping Robbins start his fund. She eventually became a partner at Glenview Capital Management and then left the hedge fund to become a full-time philanthropist.
Towers has donated millions of dollars to a variety of causes over the years. She now runs the Nduna Foundation, which she founded in 2007, that focuses on improving the lives of children in the United States and Africa through "nutrition and food security, HIV/AIDS education, and conservation and wildlife restoration," according to The Wall Street Journal.
