Rio Vista is pleased to announce the sale of Crocker Mansion for use as a residential dwelling.
The Rio Vista property known as "Darlington - the Country Estate of George Crocker" is recognized as one of the most architecturally outstanding early-20th Century estate homes in America. This historic mansion was built between 1902 and 1907 as the country residence of George Crocker, the son of one of America's great railroad pioneers. The mansion is listed in The National Register of Historic Places.
Rio Vista restored the mansion over a period of four years, upgrading the HVAC, plumbing and electrical systems without disturbing of the fine architectural details and finishes of the original design. The restoration involved development challenges such as the application of original building techniques and craftsmanship, plasterworks, special carvings and restoration of original fine wood floors, pegs and paneling.
The estate was featured in The Record on Sunday, January 20, 2008, in an article titled "'Colossal' piece of history for sale in Mahwah" by Carol Fletcher.
The sale of the Crocker Mansion completes the development and sale of Rio Vista Mahwah a destination location in northwest Bergen County for luxury residential housing.
