Perched 30 feet above every rooftop in Avalon, New Jersey, stands a home unlike any other on the island—or perhaps the entire East Coast. A residence aptly named Mt. Avalon—a 7,240-square-foot architectural masterpiece, offers a commanding position atop Avalon’s highest natural elevation—and its resort-style amenities and unmatched privacy have already made it one of the crown jewels of the Jersey Shore. It also had the honor of gracing the cover of the latest issue Prestige, highlighting its status as one of the region’s most remarkable homes.

In a first for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox & Roach, REALTORS®, listing agent Jack Vizzard is opening the door for buyers to purchase this one-of-a-kind property using cryptocurrency. “I started researching crypto deals after the article about Opendoor accepting crypto and the stock shot up 14%,” Vizzard said. “It’s a strategic move to open the buyer pool to international buyers and nontraditional folks.”

But while the tech-forward payment option is making headlines, the home itself is what truly steals the show.

Where the Ocean Meets the Sky

“This is the tallest structure on the island,” Vizzard said. “You get panoramic 360-degree views of the ocean and bay—sunrise and sunset.”

That’s no exaggeration. With its elevated position in Avalon’s exclusive High Dunes section, this estate offers a front-row seat to both the dawn over the Atlantic and the dusk over the back bay—all without stepping outside. Designed to celebrate its surroundings, the residence features glass railings on every deck and thermal aluminum windows that maximize both energy efficiency and sightlines.

Spanning three-quarters of an acre—enough space to fit five traditional Avalon lots—the property’s scale alone is exceptional for the island. But what truly sets it apart is how effortlessly it blends grandeur with seclusion. “This is an extremely private home,” Vizzard noted. “You can’t see your neighbors, and no one can see you. High-profile consumers like that.”

Architectural Excellence & Coastal Strength

Every inch of Mt. Avalon reflects precision craftsmanship and resilience against the elements. The first two levels are constructed from formed board concrete, ensuring both durability and storm protection. The home’s sleek, modern aesthetic is anchored by a dramatic floating staircase with glass railings—a sculptural centerpiece that sets the tone from the moment you enter the grand foyer.

The design language carries through every level: clean lines, natural materials, and expansive open-concept spaces that frame the aforementioned views. It’s a home built to impress, but also to endure.

Behind its striking façade lies a sanctuary of leisure and wellness. The estate’s backyard features a 14-by-22-foot swimming pool and spa surrounded by lush landscaping and complete privacy. Inside, a state-of-the-art fitness center with rubber flooring, and an adjacent infrared sauna and steam shower transforms the lower level into a full-fledged wellness retreat. There’s even a four-stop elevator to ensure seamless movement from the ground floor to the owner’s suite—an essential touch for a home of this size and stature.

Living & Entertaining in Style

The first floor is an entertainer’s dream. Beyond the grand entryway, an expansive family room equipped with custom cabinetry, high-end kitchen appliances, and a wall-mounted large-screen TV invites casual gatherings. A billiards area adds a social flair, while multiple guest suites—each with private en-suite baths—ensure comfort for family and friends.

Upstairs, the sophistication deepens. The second floor centers around a living area with a seven-foot-wide linear fireplace and a custom designed chef’s kitchen. Featuring a six-burner stove, a large walk-in pantry, and premium cabinetry, the space balances functionality with artistry. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open to sweeping decks crafted from Ipe wood, where built-in hurricane shutters and retractable shades provide year-round enjoyment.

And then there’s the third-floor owner’s retreat—a private world of its own. The primary suite offers a sitting area, fireplace, and a hidden large-screen TV that descends from the ceiling at the touch of a button. The spa-like bathroom features dual vanities, dual water closets, and an expansive walk-in shower for two. Two private decks complete the experience: one overlooking the Atlantic with a four-seat hot tub for sunrise views, and another facing southwest for tranquil sunsets over the bay.

Jersey Shore’s Next Chapter

Luxury along the Jersey Shore has evolved in recent years, and Vizzard sees Avalon leading that charge. “Ever since COVID, people have wanted multi-generational families to be under one roof,” he explained. “New Jersey is closer and more affordable than the Hamptons, and Hollywood has taken advantage of huge movie tax breaks here. Movie stars will move here for that—to be close to production.” Mt. Avalon embodies that post-pandemic vision: expansive, private, and built for connection. It’s the kind of property designed not just for living, but for legacy.

While the home’s design pays homage to Avalon’s natural beauty, its sale represents a leap toward the future of real estate. The option to make an offer in cryptocurrency marks Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Fox & Roach, REALTORS® first foray into digital transactions. 

“The buyer makes an offer with crypto, and its value is reviewed to ensure it equates to an acceptable amount,” Vizzard explained. “The crypto goes to a holding company called Propy. A traditional title company researches the title, and then we close. The seller can either take it in its crypto form—like Bitcoin—or have it transferred to U.S. dollars.” While Vizzard acknowledges that he’s the first in his office to handle such a sale, he sees no hurdles ahead. “I think this will be fairly easy with Propy involved,” he said confidently.

The move is more than a novelty—it’s a reflection of how the luxury market is adapting to the preferences of modern high-net-worth buyers. By welcoming cryptocurrency, Vizzard and his team are inviting a new generation of tech-savvy, globally minded investors to experience Avalon’s pinnacle of coastal living.
