Discover this incredible estate's tragic Titanic connection

This spectacular French Norman-style property in Red Bank, New Jersey has a tragic past. The estate is known as Cobble Close Farm, a grand pile built in the 1920s for Herbert Straus, heir to the Macy’s department store fortune. Straus inherited the money for its construction after his parents’ tragic deaths in the infamous sinking of the RMS Titanic. In more recent times, the historic home first hit the property market in 2022 but sadly did not appear to find a buyer.

Click or scroll on to tour the magnificent stately home, stroll its 13 spectacular acres and peek into its fascinating past…
