Holly Farm

86 SANDY RIDGE RD, Stockton, New Jersey 08559 United States

Located in the rolling hills of Delaware Township, Stockton NJ, in the heart of horse country, Holly Farm comprising 120 acres on six tax parcels is a world class equestrian facility. Currently used as an Olympic caliber show jumping facility, the topography also lends itself to other disciplines including Eventing or Dressage or even Thoroughbred race horses. The main barn designed by renowned architect Ralph C Fey has won numerous design awards. The degree of quality and detail is evident immediately from the solid Mahogany doors to the stone construction with pedimented true keystone archways that took two years to build. There are 16 stalls, four of which are oversized, three wash stalls with overhead Croton heaters, three grooming stalls and a farriers stall. The stalls doors and sandcast hardware are all by Croton and imported from Holland. There is a 70 foot clear span six horse hot walker attached to the east wing with windows that open to let fresh air circulate and a solarium upper level for light. All the floors are radiant heat with brick floors throughout. The main level consists of approximately 12,000 square feet. In addition to the stalls, there are two laundry rooms, a large office with lounge area for guests and an elevator to the second level. There are 15 security cameras strategically installed to be able to see all areas of the barn from one central monitoring location. There is a trunk room with outside access to make loading and unloading easy. There is a large tack room with kitchenette and ample storage. The feed room is metal lined to prevent rodents. A bathroom and additional storage complete this level. The upper level consists of a 5,000 square foot unfinished luxury apartment. The systems are already in place and the wiring is complete and the walls are studded out. At this stage you can choose your own finish materials or re-design the space. The elevator opens into the apartment and there are 3-4 bedrooms, large great room with fireplace that is open to the kitchen with center island and a library.
