A gorgeous escape from the city, located in the rolling hills of Delaware Township, Stockton, NJ in the heart of horse country, Holly Farm comprising 120 acres is a World Class equestrian facility, currently used an Olympic caliber show jumping facility. The topography also lends itself to other disciplines. The main barn designed by renowned architect, Ralph E Fey, has won numerous awards. The degree of quality and detail that took two years to build, is evident immediately from the solid mahogany doors to the stone construction with pedimented and true keystone archways. There are 16 main barn stalls, 4 of which are oversized, multiple grooming and wash stalls, two with heated solariums as well as a vet/farrier stall. The stall construction imported from the Netherlands is all by Corton. Renowned for their superior powder coat finish and built to last over time. Barn walls are two-inch-thick tongue and groove oak. Heavy mahogany doors have Rocky Mountain bronze hardware.

All floors are brick with subfloor radiant heat throughout. There is a trunk room with outside access to make loading and unloading equipment easy. There are two laundry rooms, a powder room, a large office with lounge area for guests, and an elevator to the second floor. There are 15 security cameras strategically located to be able to see all areas of the barn from one central monitoring location. The feed room is metal lined to prevent rodents. The upper level consists of a 5,000 sq ft unfinished luxury apartment. The systems are already in place, the wiring is complete, and the walls are studded out.
