88 ELM RIDGE ROAD, PRINCETON, NJ 08540 - The Eric Leadbetter Team

$5,700,000

Set across nearly 25 acres with over 10,000 finished square feet, Hampton Farm offers a rare sense of space, privacy, and permanence - just minutes from Princeton. Originally designed by architect Robert Bennett in 2004 and expanded by Glen Fries, the home has been thoughtfully reimagined to blend architectural integrity… Read More and modern comfort in an elegant and effortless way. A gated entrance and tree-lined drive lead to a circular Belgian block courtyard, where the home reveals itself gradually - never all at once. The surrounding land, rich with mature trees, curated plantings, and open fields, creates a setting that feels quietly removed from the pace of everyday life. At the edge of the estate lies the bubbling Stony Brook. There is a natural rhythm to living here. Mornings begin in stillness - light filtering into the sunroom, coffee in hand. Days unfold across the property, where there is space to wander, to gather, or simply to be. Children grow up with room to explore, and over time, the home becomes a place they return to - bringing new generations with them. Inside, the home is defined by proportion, detail, and flow. A gallery foyer, arched openings, and a curved staircase create a sense of quiet grandeur, while fireplaces throughout the home bring warmth and intimacy to each space. The wood-panelled library, sunlit living areas, and thoughtfully designed gathering spaces make the home equally suited for everyday living and more formal occasions. The Clive Christian kitchen serves as the center of it all - beautifully crafted, highly functional, and naturally connected to both indoor and outdoor living. It is a space that invites people in and holds them there. Six bedrooms provide comfort and flexibility for family and guests, while the primary suite offers a private retreat with its own sitting room, fireplace, balcony, and marble bath. The lower level extends the living experience with recreation, fitness, and a steam room - spaces designed as much for restoration as they are for activity. Outdoors, life continues with equal ease. Whether it is a fall afternoon by the fire pit or an evening spent under an open sky, the property offers a way of living that feels grounded, unhurried, and deeply connected. With a current farm tax assessment and room to expand - whether for a pool, tennis court, or additional amenities - the estate offers both immediate enjoyment and long-term potential. 88 Elm Ridge Road is more than an estate. It is where life is shared. Where traditions are created. Where generations return - again and again. This is not simply a place to live.2028;It is a place to belong. Read Less
