The magnificent space offers the ultimate in privacy, abutting extensive protected and preserved land to the southeast — as well as breathtaking water views.

Once owned by the Ford family, the estate was named “Fordune.”

Completely renovated in 2008, Jule Pond glitters with jaw-droppingly beautiful features including a sweeping staircase, a 20’ x 28’ chefs kitchen, a grand library, and many of its stunning original features such as molded ceilings with traditional chandeliers, Italian marble fireplaces, French parquet floors, and antique bathroom fixtures.

The gorgeous estate includes amenities such as a 48-foot long living room, a family room, game room, recreation room and two opulent master suites.

“Aside from the main house, the property also includes a separate carriage house which has three bedrooms and one-and-one-half bathrooms, and a detached six-car garage,” the listing states.

And outdoors, a large pool area, complete with multiple dining and entertainment spaces, a spa, full outdoor kitchen and show, tennis and basketball court and meditation garden are all set to delight.

"The estate still has the original greenhouse where the Fords used to grow their own fruit and vegetables, and has multiple paths which wind down through the gardens, leading to a quarter-mile of private beach and the rolling Atlantic Ocean," the listing states.
