Platinum Luxury Auctions will auction a 26‑acre Hopewell, NJ estate on October 15, 2026, with no set reserve price.
The main house, 15,146 sq ft, boasts 12 gas fireplaces, a double‑staircase foyer, and a private lift, while its 3,000‑bottle wine cellar and on‑site cinema signal its status as a New England‑style country manor.
Surrounding the estate on three sides is a 102‑acre parcel listed for $3 million, offering buyers a chance to develop up to eleven luxury homes on 6‑ to 14‑acre plots, according to Lesnock.
Lesnock, founder and president of Platinum Luxury Auctions, said the property’s location in Hopewell—a market that stalls above $4 million—makes an auction the most efficient way to spark competitive bids, citing a similar 2019 sale at Deer Run Farm.
The auction, scheduled for 6 p.m. ET, will allow bidders to outbid each other without a minimum, potentially setting a new benchmark for the region’s high‑end real estate market.
