Long Beach Island’s highest-valued property listing has been a showplace ever since passersby watched the Victorian estate rise from the oceanfront in Loveladies between 1997 and 1999.

For the first time, the spectacular mansion – with home theater and ice cream parlor, freshwater swimming pool and cabana, and its landscaped grounds graced by a koi pond, three waterfalls and a monarch butterfly habitat – is available for sale to a new owner.
