Within the walls of a church graveyard in Basking Ridge, there's a giant, white oak tree more than 600 years old. With no fence builders or house framers around to disturb it, surviving its first four centuries was easy. But flourishing during the last 200 years seems downright incredible, unless you know this part of New Jersey. Sparing a centuries-old tree from the march of progress, and preserving it for the enjoyment of generations to come, was as obvious a decision for the early residents of Basking Ridge as for the people who live there today. Somerset County isn't just an affluent community affording a classic and comfortable lifestyle. It is a place where homes both old and new reflect time-honored architectural and conservational traditions. Somerset luxury homes, for all of their state-of-the-art amenities, have been built to stand the test of time.SHEEPHILL MANORMOGGY BROOK RUNRIVER RUN FARMGRACIOUS CLASSIC COLONIAL
