About 18 Clay Court
At 18 Clay Court, the Navesink River becomes your horizon. More than a home—it is a retreat shaped by light, water, and silence. Perched on the Navesink River, the estate's terraces and verandas open to endless skies, the rhythm of tides, and the gentle hush of wind through the trees. Inside, soaring spaces invite gathering and reflection, while intimate suites offer privacy and calm. A private, deep water dock extends the living space to the water, where evenings end in rose-colored sunsets mirrored on the river's surface. Here, life moves with intention—unhurried, elemental, serene. To live at 18 Clay Court is to live with the river as your constant companion. Each day begins with light pouring across the water, filtering into vast yet tranquil interiors designed for both grandeur and quiet moments. From dawn to dusk, the estate unfolds as a sequence of experiences: shaded terraces for morning coffee, breezeways where the air carries the scent of the garden, and poolside afternoons where stillness feels infinite.
The estate spans more than 17,000 square feet, yet scale here is never overwhelming. Rather, it is expansive enough to allow life to unfold without limitsspaces for celebration, spaces for solitude, spaces where family and friends can gather under beams of golden light. Bedrooms become private sanctuaries, each connected to the landscape beyond.
Outdoors, the architecture embraces the natural setting. Terraces frame the river. Pathways guide you toward the pool, where water glimmers against stone. From the 150-foot IPE dock, the Navesink stretches wide and calm, offering both adventure and reflection: a morning paddle, a quiet evening watching the horizon turn from gold to indigo.
Technology and design blend seamlessly throughout the home. Crestron systems simplify daily living; expansive kitchens support everything from quiet dinners to elaborate entertaining. A wine cellar, a private theater, and open-plan living areas ensure that comfort extends into every corner of the estate.
Yet what defines 18 Clay Court is not its features, but its atmosphere. Here, the world falls away. Silence is punctuated only by naturethe cry of a heron, the rustle of leaves, the lapping of water against the dock. The home is not a statement of arrival but a sanctuary of presence.
For those who seek more than a residence, 18 Clay Court offers a philosophy of living: rooted in nature, attuned to rhythm, and devoted to serenity. A riverfront estate where every moment feels both expansive and deeply personal.
