12 COLD SPRINGS ROAD, Califon, NJ, 07830
About This Home
A rare wellness retreat known as The Spring House, set along one of Tewksbury's most coveted roads, where preserved farmland, natural beauty, and true privacy create a setting that cannot be replicated. On 3 serene acres, life slows down; some days, more horses pass by than cars. Surrounded by protected land, the property offers a lasting sense of seclusion while remaining minutes from top-rated schools, scenic trails, and the charm of the countryside, with NYC about an hour away.The 5-bedroom, 5-bath compound unfolds across four separate structures, offering exceptional flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, remote work, wellness, or creative pursuits. A guest house with two additional rooms and a full bath expands the possibilities, while a four-car garage setup adds scale and convenience. Inside, timeless character blends with modern comfort as natural light frames the surrounding landscape. The primary suite is a private sanctuary with both dry and steam saunas, creating a daily ritual of recovery, relaxation, and reset. Outdoors, Cold Brook runs along the western edge, filling the property with the sound of flowing water. A historic 1800s cobblestone bridge, large fire pit, three water features, full-size stone wood-burning oven, and separate container structure for a gym, studio, or retreat complete the experience. This is more than a home; it is a lifestyle for those who value space, privacy, and something truly distinct and designed to feel worlds away.
