Ellistan is an equestrian estate which has hosted the Essex Fox Hounds Thanksgiving Day Meet since the early 1930s. Designed by noted architect Musgrave Hyde in 1931, the property has been beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated. Privately nestled on 77 +/- acres with stunning countryside views overlooking gardens, pastures and fields - you are less than 45 miles from New York City. The estate was featured in New Jersey Country Houses: The Somerset Hills, Volume II and Gardens of the Garden State. Interior decorators include Sister Parish and Albert Hadley of Parish-Hadley Associates and Mica Ertegun of MAC II. Ellistan is comprised of the beautifully detailed Norman-style residence clad in stone; a stable complex with 10 stalls, 3 apartments, multiple garages, workshops and heated dog kennel; a guest cottage with a 4 stall barn; a stocked pond, pool and tennis court. Under the care of just three owners, including the current owners of 40 years, this estate has evolved into a sanctuary that is well-suited for entertaining and a variety of leisurely pursuits. The countryside property is minutes from the villages of Peapack-Gladstone, Far Hills and Bernardsville, golf and country clubs, and leading private and public schools.
