Discover New Jersey's Priciest Listed Property: The $28M WellSpring Estate

It's no surprise that the priciest home for sale in New Jersey is in Colts Neck, one of the wealthiest areas in the state. Listed at $27.9 million, this 160-acre equestrian estate, known as WellSpring Stables, is owned by Dr. Robert and Laura Vukovich. The couple, dedicated to thoroughbred breeding, purchased the property in 1999 to expand their racing business and establish a family home.

Luxurious Main House and Historical Farmhouse

The estate boasts a 25,000-square-foot main house and a detached farmhouse from the 1890s. The main house, spread over four floors, features seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms, with exterior walls wrapped in imported Jerusalem limestone. Inside, there is exquisite hand-sculpted carpentry, including a custom-built conservatory from England. Other highlights include a 3,500-bottle wine cellar, a 12-seat movie theater, a private fitness center, and an Olympic-size pool. The farmhouse provides an additional five bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths for guests.

Top-Notch Equestrian Facilities

Built by Pennsylvania Dutch artisans in 2008, the main barn includes 24 oversized stalls, tack and equipment rooms, an owner’s office, hay loft, and wash stalls. A two-bed manager apartment is located above the barn. The property also features an exercise ring and spacious, fenced-in pastures.

Celebrity Neighbors and Historical Appeal

Colts Neck, a picturesque town in Monmouth County, has attracted celebrities such as Bruce Springsteen and Queen Latifah. Springsteen, who grew up nearby, owns a horse farm in Colts Neck where his daughter trained in showjumping. Queen Latifah once owned property in the area but sold it in 2015.

WellSpring Stables is not only the most expensive home in New Jersey but also a prime example of the beauty and luxury available in the Garden State. The estate, listed by Compass agents Tom Postilio and Mickey Conlon, exemplifies top-tier equestrian living with unmatched amenities and historical charm.
