Jon Bon Jovi fans may often wonder what his rock star life is like, and here's their chance to take a sneak peek: His New Jersey mansion is for sale, and the photos show that his digs are worthy of his legendary status.
Located on 15 acres in Middleton, NJ, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Navesink River, an hour outside New York City, High Point Estate boasts six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, all in an 18,000-square-foot French-inspired château.
So how much is it worth? Bon Jovi has decided to leave that number a mystery. According to the listing from Christie's, the price is available "upon request."
Designed by the celebrated architect Robert A.M. Stern, High Point Estate features stately solid wooden double doors, large windows, French balconies, and even a double-wide entrance driveway.
And this isn’t even the only building on the property. The mansion comes with four additional outbuildings, including a three-bedroom carriage house and Bon Jovi’s recording studio. It’s a perfect mix of history and rock and roll.
But the most impressive features of this home are on the inside. The living room is huge, with a 12-foot ceiling and gorgeous fireplace. The living room flows to the bar, which features a large window so that guests can enjoy the riverfront views.
There’s a luxurious in-home theater, a family room with a fireplace, and even an outside sitting area complete with an outdoor fireplace.
Upstairs, there are two wings, one for staff and one for the family—the latter of which includes four en suites—including the luxurious master bedroom, worthy of a rock god.
But the question still stands: Why keep the price tag a secret?
"There are all sorts of reasons the exact price of luxury houses like this one aren't listed," says Tyler Drew, a real estate developer in California. "Many times, the owner simply doesn't want to advertise it to the world. 'Price available upon request' in the luxury market usually means 'You can't afford it.'"
