Featherbed Estate

On this six acre estate in Harding Township, New Jersey, the family wanted a pool house with dance studio, a fun natural pool with spa, plenty of entertainment space around the pool/pool house, a tennis court, a chip and putt golf green and putting course, koi pond, vegetable garden and a large recreational lawn area that could accommodate corporate events and fund raisers. Granted six acres is a lot of land but this was an intensive design program!

Our goal was to create a natural setting for the pool/pool house in the middle of a 3 acre field. Using the soil from the tennis court and pool excavation, a large soil elevation was created to form a backdrop for the pool and waterfall coming into it. On the opposite side the soil berm was the backdrop for the natural stream leading into the koi pond which comfortably sits next to the putting course. The tennis court was conveniently placed between the pool and main house with a beautiful pergola set at center court. The master plan for this estate property flows beautifully from space to space and has provided the family and their friends many years of enjoyable times.
