This rustic N.J. mansion looks like a bougie version of Yellowstone’s Dutton Ranch

You won’t see Rip walking down the driveway, but this hulking stone and wood mansion in Milford looks like it could be in Montana.

It’s as massive as it is rustically beautiful.

The 25,000 square foot, 35 room estate has seven bedrooms, seven full and three half bathrooms. And it sits on 125 acres in Milford, in Hunterdon County.

It’s listed for sale for $22 million.

“It’s castle-like and it’s secluded,” said Clay Mason of LivX, who is a co-listing agent with Garima Verma.

The home has been on and off the market for four years. It was listed in October 2020 for $12 million. In December 2022 it was re-listed for $18 million. And in October 2024 it was offered for $22 million.

The agents said they’re confident the current price is the right price because they had a bank appraisal done.

“You get acreage or a house like this. You don’t usually get both together,” Verma said. “This combination of location, acreage and luxury is very, very rare or nowhere.”

The home is located in a quaint and historic area. “It’s a rural village type of town,” Mason said. “It has some history to it, a couple little restaurants. And it’s within a few miles radius of New Hope, Lambertville and Frenchtown -- trendy areas along the Delaware River.”

It was built in 2003 for the original owner, who used it as a place to get away with family. The current owner bought it from him about eight years ago and now wants to downsize, the agents said.

You enter the home through a six-panel wood door that was carved by a local artisan, into a vast living space with vaulted ceilings, post and beam construction, carved log railings, stone pillars and fireplaces and lots of custom windows.

The second level has three ensuite bedrooms, a conference room and a private apartment with two bedrooms, a bathroom, it’s own kitchen and living room.

The basement level has a wet bar, a wine cellar for more than 1,000 bottles, a family room, a game room, a music room, a theater room, a sauna, a spa style bathroom and three mechanical rooms.

The home also has a four-car heated garage and a full-house fire suppression system with its own 20,000 gallon water source.

The 125-acre property has a seven-acre vineyard that was started in 2018, two fenced in bee yards that have more than 20 honey-producing hives, a fig grove with 24 mature trees and a stream that’s stocked with trout by the State of New Jersey.

There are four auxiliary buildings.

Two are historic, two-story barns with water and electric service that are estimated to have been built in the early 1800s. One is mostly restored and in the other one, which has a full basement, the restoration is ongoing.

There is a 7,200 square foot barn with 18-foot ceilings, a heated workshop, 400-amp electric service and a custom designed lighting system.

The fourth building is a utility building, in the same wood and stone style as the main house, that has a commercial generator, a 4,000 gallon diesel fuel tank, a powered fueling station, domestic water storage and water filtering equipment.

The property could be used as a residence, farm, winery, luxury resort, equestrian estate or private club.

It would also suit an executive or entertainer who wants privacy.

“It’s for someone with private wealth,” Mason said. “Someone who thinks, ‘I don’t need to show the other guy how big my house is.‘”
