Sprawling New Jersey Estate with Indoor and Outdoor Pools Spans Nearly 130 Acres, Asking $8,900,000

Known as Sunset Ridge, the Lambertville-area estate pairs panoramic countryside views with five ensuite bedrooms, a private theater, wine cellar, barn and two stocked ponds on acreage that is largely in the final stages of preservation.

The name Sunset Ridge is unusually literal. At the end of a tree-lined drive outside Lambertville, New Jersey, the estate rises above rolling countryside, its elevated position opening long views across nearly 130 acres from much of the house.

The scale of the land is the defining feature at 131 Harbourton Woodsville Road. The approximately 128.9-acre property contains a residence built in 2000, two swimming pools—one indoors and one outside—two stocked ponds, a barn and broad expanses of landscaped and rural ground.

It is now asking $8,900,000. And while the house is equipped with the amenities of a private resort, the property’s longer-term story may lie outside its walls: according to the listing, the majority of the acreage is in the final stages of preservation.

A House Positioned Around the View

Rather than treating the surrounding acreage simply as a privacy buffer, the residence was positioned to make the countryside part of the interiors.

Windows throughout the house frame panoramic views, while bluestone decks and patios move the experience outdoors. The relationship is particularly pronounced in the primary suite, where a window-lined office or sitting room looks across the landscape and a private deck provides another vantage point.

The primary accommodations also include two large walk-in closets and a recently renovated bathroom. Elsewhere, each of the five bedroom suites has its own full bathroom and walk-in closet.

One suite is positioned on the first floor and opens directly onto a bluestone deck, creating an option for guests or family members who prefer to avoid stairs. An elevator connects the home’s levels, while a separate private office provides dedicated work space apart from the office or sitting area in the primary suite.

The supplied listing information doesn’t state the residence’s square footage, making the acreage and arrangement of spaces more useful measures of its scale than an unsupported interior-size estimate.

One Pool Is Inside. Another Overlooks the Grounds.

Sunset Ridge’s recreational program extends well beyond a conventional country house.

An indoor swimming pool makes swimming a year-round amenity, complemented by a gym and steam room. A private movie theater, custom bar and wine cellar give the house separate destinations for entertaining rather than concentrating every social function in one great room.

Outside is a second swimming pool set within the estate’s landscaped grounds. Expansive bluestone patios and decks create a transition between the residence and the surrounding countryside, with the elevated setting keeping distant views in sight.

The pairing of indoor and outdoor pools is particularly useful in New Jersey’s four-season climate. The outdoor pool becomes part of the summer landscape, while the indoor facility allows the amenity to remain functional when the weather changes.

That same indoor-outdoor division runs through the rest of the property: theater and wine cellar inside; ponds, barn and acreage beyond.

Two Stocked Ponds and a Barn Push the Estate Beyond Resort Living

Farther from the house, Sunset Ridge becomes increasingly rural.

Two fully stocked ponds sit within the property, adding both recreational potential and visual interest to the landscape. A barn provides another significant outbuilding, although the supplied listing does not describe its dimensions, current configuration or whether it contains equestrian facilities.

That distinction is worth maintaining. The presence of a barn and almost 130 acres may give the property an agricultural or equestrian character, but the listing does not provide enough information to characterize it as a fully equipped horse farm.

What is clear is the amount of separation the acreage provides. Unlike an estate where a large lawn merely surrounds the residence, Sunset Ridge incorporates multiple landscape features across a much broader setting.

The result is closer to a private country domain: house, pools, ponds, barn and rolling land, all reached through a long tree-lined approach.

Nearly 130 Acres Within Reach of Two Major Cities

Large acreage becomes increasingly difficult to reconcile with convenient access to major metropolitan areas. That tension is one of Sunset Ridge’s more unusual attributes.

According to the listing, the property sits approximately 39 miles from Center City Philadelphia and 68 miles from New York City. Those distances don’t make it an urban residence, but they do distinguish it from similarly sized country estates requiring a much deeper retreat into rural territory.

The location near Lambertville also gives the property a different context from New Jersey’s more suburban luxury markets. Here, the landscape is central to the experience rather than something viewed from the edge of a conventional residential lot.

For an owner whose schedule moves between New York and Philadelphia—or who simply wants access to both—the geography adds another dimension to the acreage.

Preservation Could Be the Property’s Most Consequential Feature

The listing states that the majority of Sunset Ridge’s acreage is in the final stages of preservation, a detail that deserves more attention than a typical amenity.

If completed, land-preservation arrangements can help maintain open space and limit future development, potentially protecting much of the landscape that defines the estate. They can also impose meaningful restrictions on subdivision, construction and other future uses.

Because the listing describes the preservation process as being in its final stages rather than already complete, prospective buyers should verify its current status and review the governing documents before drawing conclusions about what is protected or what development rights may remain.

The exact acreage involved, permitted uses, retained rights and obligations aren’t specified in the supplied information. Those details could materially affect both how the property can be used and how it should be valued.

For a buyer attracted specifically to Sunset Ridge’s privacy, however, the preservation process is fundamental to the property’s story. Nearly 130 acres are significant on their own; acreage subject to long-term protection carries an entirely different set of implications.

At $8,900,000, the Land Resists a Simple Price Comparison

No price history was supplied for Sunset Ridge, and the residence’s interior square footage isn’t provided. That removes two of the conventional metrics often used to put a luxury listing into context.

In this case, that may not be entirely inappropriate.

A price-per-square-foot calculation would struggle to capture a property where so much of the proposition lies in 128.9 acres, two stocked ponds, a barn, extensive landscaping and the potential preservation of most of the land. Likewise, comparing it casually with smaller luxury homes around Lambertville could obscure the characteristics that make the estate unusual.

The current $8,900,000 figure should therefore be understood strictly as the asking price. Without a supplied transaction history or appropriate comparable sales, there isn’t enough information to make a responsible claim about appreciation or relative market value.

What the asking price buys is easier to describe physically: a five-suite residence with extensive private recreation facilities embedded within a tract of land approaching 130 acres.

Sunset Ridge Is Ultimately a Land Story

There is plenty inside the house to command attention. Few estates need both an indoor pool and an outdoor one, and the combination of theater, wine cellar, gym, steam room and custom bar gives Sunset Ridge a substantial recreational program.

Yet those amenities could theoretically be reproduced elsewhere.

The land is different.

Its rolling topography determines the views. Its scale creates the privacy. The ponds and barn give the property a country-estate character, and the preservation process described in the listing could determine how much of that landscape remains intact for future generations.

That makes the $8,900,000 offering less about acquiring a house surrounded by a very large yard than taking stewardship of an unusually substantial piece of New Jersey countryside—with a private resort sitting in the middle of it.
