Bedrooms and Master Suite Entertaining Amenities History About Harding Township, New Jersey Located along the NJ Midtown Direct train line, just 35 miles to New York City, 25 miles to Newark and 83 miles to Philadelphia, working professionals have flocked to the area for years as an ideal escape from the city bustle. With 40-percent of the 20-square-mile township declared as protected open space, Harding Township residents enjoy a rural, country lifestyle where cows and sheep graze in the fields and horses can be found on the 50 miles of bridle trails winding - all with ease of access to the amenities of the City and nearby upscale suburban towns, shopping centers and major highways. The rural atmosphere is further enhanced by the 7,000-acre Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, home to more than 244 species of birds, fox, deer, muskrat, turtles, fish, frogs and a wide variety of wildflowers and plants, and the 1,200-acre national historic site Jockey Hollow. Many relatively unchanged large country estates that have been passed down through several generations can be found throughout Harding Township and are a testament to the wealth of its residents. Some have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and further many have the support of nonprofit organizations that assure the retention of the original nature of these fine estates. Located within Harding Township are two unincorporated communities - Green Village and New Vernon, both of which have origins as colonial settlements that predate the American Revolution. The governmental offices for the township are in New Vernon, as is Fawn Hill Farm.

The team at Concierge Auctions and Doug Milne (Kelly Associates) were exceedingly professional – an aggressive group of individuals who in many ways reminded me of my days on Wall Street. The auction process attracted interest, generated competition and created a market. It was a thrilling experience, and I firmly believe the future of luxury home sales will be increasingly weighted towards the Concierge Auctions methodology. ~ Andrew Osinski - Seller, Cover House | Darien, CT
We were very pleased with the professionalism of the Concierge Auctions team. Through their process we were able to identify a qualified buyer who is excited to become a resident of our fine community. ~ Lisa Richards - President, Isleworth Realty, a Christie's Great Estates affiliate | Windermere, FL
We look forward to hearing about another outstanding opportunity to buy a Concierge Auctions home from your fine company at an incomparable price. We will follow your website and tell our friends about our very positive experience today. We had a great time today, and I have told Anne several times... we should have been the final bidder on that home! ~ Elliot Oaklander - Second Highest Bidder, 9815 Laurel Valley Drive | Windermere, FL
My experience with the Concierge Auctions Team was top notch at every level. From the delivery of the auction sales materials, to the auction itself, and to the follow up for my client who bought during the auction, the attention to detail and client satisfaction was impeccable. I would recommend them to any Seller in this challenging market as well as Buyers looking for great opportunities. ~ Jim Allison - Coldwell Banker Maryl Realty | Kona, HI
Concierge Auctions is predicated upon innovation. Amidst today’s economic climate, diversification in your marketing techniques is paramount to success. For select listings, the activity generated by Concierge may be the best option to obtain the highest net value. I endorse Concierge’s services, particularly for unique and ultra-luxury properties. ~ George Ballantyne - Concierge Auctions’ Sotheby’s International Realty® liason
My experience with Concierge was satisfactory to say the least. Times were extremely difficult in the real estate market when through Sotheby’s International Realty and Richard Lewis we were directed to Concierge. They are tireless and professional, and while we all would have preferred a higher price, I’m certain they came close to maximizing the effort and therefore the results. ~ Peter F. Shields - Seller, The Rockin' S Ranch | Teton Valley, ID
This was a first for us – bidding on a house at auction. My husband and I had lots of questions, and Stuart Mattison gave us all the time and information we needed. On auction day, Stuart was right there, often by my side, giving me the support and assistance I needed to secure the house of our dreams. We want to thank Stuart and his associates for one of life’s memorable moments. ~ Donna O'Connell - Buyer, 72-3205 Punaloa Place | Kona, Hawaii
I am extremely pleased with the outcome. Concierge Auctions exposed the property to a global audience of qualified buyers and accomplished my objective of selling in an accelerated period of time amidst a very challenging market. It is especially gratifying that they were able to find new owners who will make this wonderful community their home. ~ Kelly Burt - Seller, 7 White Water Lane | Dana Point, CA
Felicity Farm was previously listed for over two years, and although it had received significant exposure on the market, a suitable offer had not been received. The Concierge Auctions method activates the marketplace by setting a date that the property will sell and forcing buyers to act. I will definitely recommend Concierge Auctions to other clients and look forward to working with them again. ~ Debbie McCabe - Prudential Fox & Roach Realtors | Wayne, PA
The Concierge Auctions process generated a tremendous response. We had more interested buyers through the property than had visited in the entire 26 months of it being listed previously through traditional brokerage efforts alone. We are pleased with the result and excited that Felicity Farm will be enjoyed by its new owners for years to come. ~ Chris Robbins - Seller, Felicity Farm | Wawa, PA
We were impressed by Concierge Auctions' effective communication of the property's historical attributes to the marketplace. The company's widespread yet precisely-controlled outreach efforts positioned the property on a platform similar to a one-of-a-kind antique or art masterpiece. We appreciated the amount of identified buyers who were educated on the opportunity. ~ Jack Biddle - Second Highest Bidder, Historic Tulip Hill | Harwood, MD
The auction generated more activity in six weeks than this property had seen in the past three years. To witness eight, active bidders competing ‘live,’ when 62 other Whitefish Lake residential properties are on the market, was a testament to the power of Concierge Auctions format. ~ Pat Donovan - Glacier Sotheby's International Realty | Whitefish, MT
You had wonderful press throughout the sale of Fawn Hill Farm. Your partners are very well versed and I was in awe of their methodology. Again, many thanks for all your help and expertise. We were impressed by Concierge Auctions' unique understanding of the significance of Fawn Hill and by its effective communication of the property's historical attributes to the marketplace. ~ Mary Horn - Weichert Realtors | New Vernon, NJ
The Concierge Auctions sales and marketing outreach efforts were phenomenal, and their team was a pleasure to work alongside. Our combined efforts generated over 80 showings in four weeks, which is a significant accomplishment considering that 54 other comparable homes are currently on the market in Weston. I would certainly recommend Concierge Auctions. ~ Patrice Schramm - Prudential CT Realty | Weston, CT
The Sotheby’s International Realty® brand is pleased to have Concierge Auctions serve as a preferred provider of luxury real estate auction services to our brokers nationwide. The Concierge platform, when coupled with the global reach of our network, is a powerful resource to accelerate the sale of unique, one-of-a-kind properties, particularly when the pool of potential buyers is small. ~ Philip White - President & COO, Sotheby's International Realty Affiliates LLC
I am thankful to the Concierge Auctions team for their diligent and expert work. The widespread auction exposure and corresponding buyer interest was undeniable, generating 10 times the activity in 30 days than the property had experienced in the prior 18 months. ~ David White - Seller, 50 Spring Creek Place | Vail Valley, CO
I was blown away by the interest that Concierge Auctions attracted. Although the prior, traditional advertising efforts were widespread, buyers were reluctant to step forward with offers. By setting a deadline, the Concierge platform allowed me to turn the tables around, and bidders were forced to compete for the right to own in Mali’e Wai. It was great to witness such strong buyer activity again. ~ Jeff Smith - Seller, Mali'e Wai | Kauai, HI
After marketing the property for over 18 months, it was difficult to attract sufficient buyer interest until we engaged Concierge Auctions. The Concierge platform brought real buyers to the table, including CEOs, accomplished entrepreneurs, real estate developers and many other highly-qualified individuals, resulting in the highest-priced sale in Jackson Hole in the past year. ~ Richard Lewis - Jackson Hole Sotheby's International Realty | Jackson, WY
The five properties of Mali’e Wai had been on the market for 16 months, and although we exposed this listing with traditional marketing, we had not generated significant interest. After partnering with Concierge Auctions the properties had 60 showings in five weeks. To have 30 qualified showings in only five weeks and six bidders is outstanding. The power of the auction platform is undeniable. ~ Neal Norman - Koa Properties | Kauai, HI
In addition to our status as a preferred provider of auction services to Sotheby's International Realty, we are pleased to have partnered with other luxury brokerage firms and market experts nationwide.
