88 Montrose Rd Colts Neck Township, NJ 07722

This is a ComingSoon listing & can't be shown til 5/28/26. Windy Hill Farm. The name says everything. Perched atop 38 breathtaking acres on iconic Montrose Road -- flanked on three sides by preserved farmland and surrounded by some of the area's most notable private estates -- this hand-crafted limestone manor is Colts Neck at its most extraordinary. A quarter-mile London plane-lined drive builds anticipation before the house even appears. Inside, a top-to-bottom transformation: refinished French roasted oak floors, fully remodeled kitchen, new countertops, refreshed first-floor baths, and all-new light fixtures throughout. Amish-built equipment barn. 14-stall horse barn. Private pond. 200-tree orchard. Home furnishings negotiable. 12 miles to the beach. 1 hour to NYC. This is the one. There are properties that photograph beautifully. And then there are properties that change you the moment you arrive. Windy Hill Farm is the latter. The approach alone is an event. Stone stanchions mark the entrance -- gate infrastructure already in place should the next owner desire them. From there, a quarter-mile paved drive lined with London Plain trees unfolds like a country lane, the kind that makes you slow down instinctively. The farmland to the left, right, and behind is permanently preserved. That is not a detail -- it is a guarantee. The privacy, the views, the silence: protected forever. And the neighbors? Some of the most notable private estates in all of Monmouth County flank this property -- a corridor that serious buyers will immediately recognize. The house materializes from behind the trees and immediately communicates something that cannot be manufactured: permanence. Four sides of solid Pennsylvania limestone -- not veneer -- each piece hand-chiseled over the course of two years. A variegated Vermont slate roof that graduates in thickness from top to bottom. Old Carolina brick accents around every window and door, each brick hand-molded in cast. Custom Marvin windows and doors throughout. This exterior took years to build and cannot be replicated at any price. Inside, the home has just undergone a comprehensive refresh that makes it entirely move-in ready while preserving every element that makes it irreplaceable. French roasted oak floors -- kiln-dried like a wine barrel to eliminate expansion and contraction -- have been refinished throughout. The kitchen has been fully remodeled with new countertops and refaced cabinetry, anchored by a Wolf six-burner range with griddle, twin Sub-Zeros, two Miele dishwashers, and a Shaw farmhouse sink. First-floor bathrooms have been remodeled. Every light fixture in the home has been replaced. The entire interior has been repainted. Nothing has been left for the next owner to address. The rooms themselves tell the story of a builder who spared nothing. The hunting room features a 30-foot wood-burning fireplace clad in real stone, quarter-sawn oak paneling, Ralph Lauren suede paint, and an alabaster chandelier on a winch. Barn beams reclaimed from a Wisconsin dairy farm anchor the dining room ceiling. A custom Chesney's of London fireplace. Built-ins with antique mirrors and leaded glass. A butler's pantry with built-in Miele coffee maker plumbed directly to a water line. These are not finishes -- they are chapters. The primary suite occupies its own wing: his-and-hers bathrooms with steam shower, whirlpool tub, and radiant floors; his-and-hers walk-in closets; a gas fireplace; a private deck with custom wrought iron railing. Three additional bedrooms each have en-suite baths. A second-floor laundry room. A walk-in linen closet. A sitting room. The home functions as effortlessly as it impresses. A private apartment with its own entrance via the garage -- lockable from inside the main house -- provides ideal accommodation for live-in staff or extended family. The attic houses a commercial-grade gym, a massage and yoga studio with half bath, and air conditioning. The basement offers room fo
