A New Jersey mansion built in the 1920s for Macy's heir Herbert Straus is set to hit the market for a whopping $1.57 million.
The home, which is located in Middletown, was custom-made for the son of Macy's co-owner and U.S. Congressman Isidor Straus, who perished on the Titanic with his wife, Ida - who refused a seat in a lifeboat to remain at her husband's side while the ship was sinking.
The estate - which was converted from a dairy farm that originally consisted of 143 acres - boasts five private residences, however it is the main unit that has now gone up for sale for the first time in 50 years.
Known as Cobble Close Farm, the property sits on 13 acres and features a stunning French Norman aesthetic that was brought to life with materials transported from Europe.
