A leafy suburb that regularly ranks as one of the most expensive zip codes in the country is unsurprisingly home to the year’s priciest home sale in the Garden State.

Last month, a $16.7 million sale was finalized for a sprawling 22,782 square foot estate in the Bergen County borough of Alpine. Built in 2004, the home sits on about four acres in the borough’s Rio Vista section and was listed for sale back in March for just under $20 million.

The impressive home, which boasts 12-foot ceilings across four levels accessible via an elevator, includes eight bedrooms, nine full bathrooms, and three half-baths. Totaling 25 rooms sporting a brick exterior with a slate roof, the home boasts high-end amenities like a bowling alley, home theater, a billiards room, plus a large wine cellar.

The space outside the home is equally impressive, as it features a pool, cabana, tennis court, and putting green. A separate guest house plus a garage with parking for up to eight cars is included at the property, which has been upgraded to include a commercial generator and several high efficiency furnaces.

The home is situated not far from Rio Vista, a large stone tower constructed in 1910 that is probably Alpine’s biggest landmark. It was originally commissioned by millionaire sugar importer and former Alpine resident Manuel Rionda as a gift to his wife.

The sellers purchased the mansion in 2013 for $13.375 million according to property records, meaning they took home a profit on the sale despite taking less than their original asking price. The home was listed by Rosemarie Campi with Prominent Properties Sotheby’s International Realty-Alpine.

The $16.7 million sales price seems to have bested the Garden State’s previous 2024 record. Another home in Alpine on Cambridge Way that sold for $8 million back in May after sitting on the market for years appears to be the previous record.

Alpine is regularly ranked as one of the most expensive towns in not only New Jersey but the entire country. A variety of celebrities including Chris Rock have called Alpine home over the years and the borough consistently boasts high-profile sales, including a house previously owned by NHL All-Star Ilya Kovalchuk that sold for $10.9 million last year.

Despite Alpine’s stature, it is not home to the highest asking price in the state. Per the Asbury Park Press, the most expensive home currently for sale in New Jersey is an equestrian estate in Colts Neck that sits on a whopping 160 acres and includes seven bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, and a barn.
