The Stone Mansion, a 30,000-square-foot property located on the former Frick Estate of New Jersey’s exclusive Alpine community, is back on the market for $48.8 million.
Still New Jersey’s most expensive home, it features 12 bedrooms, 19 bathrooms, and extravagant features like an indoor basketball court and a 4,000-bottle wine cellar.
The home has been on and off the market for several years, but this time it’s being listed by its current owner, Richard Kurtz, the CEO of the property management company Kamson.
“I built the house with my ex-wife, with the intention of living in the home,” Kurtz recently told Business Insider. “We worked hard together on picking out every detail, spending days on end in the mansion and with the architects, designers, construction team. … I no longer need this large of a home, and I am hoping that it ends up in the right hands — with a buyer who will appreciate the details, love, and sweat equity that I have put in it over the years.”

The mansion spans 6 acres in Alpine, New Jersey, 8 miles from New York City. It includes the main house and an attached carriage house. Kurtz said the prime location was one of the home’s main draws. “You can be at work in less than 30 minutes but living in a gorgeous, state-of-the-art house, with every amenity and detail possible,” he said.
Kurtz said he thought the ideal buyer was “a family who has the money to purchase a ‘mansion in the sky’ in Manhattan, but who is now looking to raise their children on a beautiful property with incredible features and space, as well as the safety and security that the Stone Mansion features.”
Many of the vaulted ceilings are lined with pure-gold trimmings. The master suite comes complete with two bathrooms and two closets.
The master bedroom features a plush king-sized bed and a seating area that overlooks the pool and tennis court outside.
The focal point of the living room is this large low-back sofa and coffee table, and a small area near the fireplace.
The formal dining room has been outfitted with a large wooden table that can seat up to 12. Diners can enjoy a meal here or on one of the dining terraces throughout the property.
Elegant features include a marble-adorned kitchen designed by Christopher Peacock.
In total, the home has 19 bathrooms, which include onyx trimmings and hand-tiled-mosaic showers.
High ceiling panels adorned in solid gold line the home’s library.
Additional amenities include an indoor basketball court, pool, fitness center, spa, a two-room wine cellar accessed via fingerprint analysis, and a screening room that can seat up to 18 people.
