Lavish $5. 9m toms river estate hits market with wine cellar, pool, and private guard house

TOMS RIVER, N.J. – A sprawling North Dover mansion described as one of the most exclusive residential properties in Ocean County has officially hit the market for $5,975,000. The gated estate, located at 1762 Todd Road, spans more than 11,900 square feet on 10.1 acres, offering a rare combination of privacy, craftsmanship, and scale in the heart of Toms River.

Listed by Theresa Kuyl of Real Broker, LLC, the brick residence dates to 1983 but has been continually refined into a showcase of luxury and European-inspired architecture. The property is introduced by a tree-lined drive leading past a private guard house and an Italian-imported fountain — details that signal the estate’s blend of artistry and precision.

Inside, the home features five bedrooms and seven full bathrooms, plus two half baths. Highlights include a double-height marble foyer, paneled library, temperature-controlled wine cellar, and a vaulted family room anchored by a backlit agate bar. A French-style kitchen with a La Cornue range and marble countertops opens to a sunken breakfast room overlooking manicured grounds.

Among its most distinctive spaces is a custom living room with a stage, projector, and Juliet balcony, designed for both entertaining and private screenings. The primary suite spans an entire wing, offering dual spa-style bathrooms, a fireside sitting area, and a private sauna. The estate also includes five fireplaces, radiant and forced-air heating, and a lower-level lounge with expansion potential.

Outside, the property unfolds into a resort-like retreat. A clover-leaf pool with spa sits at the center of a 2,000-square-foot slate patio, bordered by gardens, a full basketball and tennis court, and a four-car garage with a private guest suite above.

Currently listed on Realtor.com, the mansion has drawn significant attention since going live on January 22, reflecting growing demand for luxury estates along the Jersey Shore corridor.
