The Eugene W. Mason House, considered by many to be one of the more architecturally significant and beautiful homes in the Somerset Hills, is featured in New Jersey Country Houses: The Somerset Hills. Designed by and for Eugene Mason, an architect with Carrere & Hastings and built in 1927 - at the height of Bernardsville’s heyday as a country retreat for New York’s most affluent families - the house is a restrained exercise in French Norman design. Magnificently maintained, beautifully renovated and carefully preserved by the current owners, the house has changed hands only once before in its history: this exclusive offering marks a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a truly remarkable estate. The compound includes: a five-plus bedroom main house with exquisite period detailing; more than 32 private acres with formal gardens (designed by visionary landscape architect Clarence Fowler), wooded areas, open fields; a pool with twin pavilions; a two bedroom caretaker’s cottage; a two-story, heated barn and a stone water tower - a charming relic of a storied era.
