A renovated equestrian estate behind a “smart” gated entrance in Orange’s historic Orange Park Acres is on the market for $5.499 million.
Spanning nearly 2 acres, the property features a 3,276-square-foot house, equestrian facilities and architectural plans for a future ADU.
The house has ties to Orange’s news publishing history. It was built in 1965 by Robin Fairbairn, a young lawyer and the grandson of William O. Hart— the namesake of Hart Park, who established the Orange Daily News in 1909. In December 1965, The Register described a housewarming at the “lovely new two-story Colonial home” of Fairbairn and his wife, Rossie, with 120 of their friends.
They sold the property in October 1969 to a surgeon and his wife. According to the home’s sales history at Redfin.com, the couple paid $88,000.
Records show the house next traded hands in July 2024 for $3.3 million, surpassing the $2.985 million asking price by 11%.
The house maintains a colonial style with modern luxury. It opens to a grand entrance hall with a staircase.
Beyond, the floorplan includes five bedrooms, five bathrooms and an open kitchen with high-end appliances. There’s a pass-through window to the outside built-in barbecue area over the sink. The kitchen also shares the space with the dining room.
In the living room, there’s built-in cabinetry and a fireplace.
A fireplace also anchors the primary bedroom suite. The bathroom features twin shower heads opposite each other in the glassed-off walk-in shower near the freestanding soaking tub.
Designer finishes, natural stone accents and a sophisticated paint palette adorn the interior throughout.
The equestrian facilities include a seven-stall barn with a dedicated tack and hay room, a full-size riding arena with lighting and a round pen that’s ideal for training.
A pool, expansive patio and gazebo add to the outdoor amenities.
Rounding out the offering is a detached two-car garage with space for an office or home gym.
