Jon Bon Jovi Hangs $20M Price Tag on New Jersey Mansion

Published: February 4, 2021 | By: American Luxury Staff

The custom New Jersey estate of rocker Jon Bon Jovi is back on the market this winter, with a relist that officially puts a number on the listing. The house first hit the open market last February, when it listed at an undisclosed price. In 2021, it is priced at $20 million on the nose.

Bon Jovi commissioned Robert A.M. Stern to design the house, giving it an esteemed lineage that belies its 1999 vintage. Stern would go on to design some of the most beautiful residential buildings in Manhattan to be completed in this century, including 70 Vestry, and 220 Central Park South, where Ken Griffin raised eyebrows when he dropped nearly $250 million on the building’s 24,000 sq. ft. crown jewel of a penthouse.

The Bon Jovi mansion—which has been titled High Point—is located on a tidal river, and inside Shrewsbury Township. Its façade is distinguished by a massive neoclassical portico, a forceful brand of manor-house symmetry, and limestone walls.

The 18,000 sq. ft. of interiors contain six bedrooms and at least eight baths. Especially striking rooms include the kitchen, which features a sectional brick barrel ceiling and stenciled beams, and the rotunda dayroom, which also sports a ceiling in brick. The living room is a French baroque affair, with Wedgewood-blue walls and gilded accents.

A broad patio, loggia-covered, slate-floored terrace, and pool are arranged within the lawn that slopes away to the river’s edge, a particularly dreamy feature of this 15-acre estate.

Bon Jovi seems to be fond of warmer climes these days; he recently sold a new build in Palm Beach for $19.8 million and upgraded to the tune $43 million.

Rock band Bon Jovi’s latest album is titled 2020; it came out last October.
