A once-in-a-lifetime estate in Kinnelon and Montville with stunning views of your own private 25-acre lake Surprise Lake. Just 30 miles from NYC and under 5 miles from a private airport, this iconic property offers unmatched privacy, charm, and accessibility. The updated main house spans 3 levels and features a modern kitchen, refinished hardwood floors, a game room above the garage, and a new bar on the lower level. There are 4 bedrooms on the second floor and 2 more on the third, including a lake-facing primary suite with breathtaking views year-round. Also included: a renovated carriage house with garage and studio apartment above, a boathouse, and a 2-bedroom home currently rented for $2,700/month. The original Boy Scout mess hall has been restored with new roof and windows and is ready for your custom finishes (Think guest house, workout studio, or the ultimate car collectors garage, to name a few). Direct access to hiking trails, close to top restaurants and shopping, and featured in movies, TV shows, and commercials, this remarkable property is truly one of a kind. (Comprising of five separate lots, taxes reflect the total for all five)

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
