5499 Dune Drive | Before Avalon became Avalon, the High Dunes were already here. Shaped by wind, time, and the Atlantic, these ancient ridges have stood along the island’s spine for thousands of years. When the town was laid out, only eleven lots were created along this extraordinary stretch. Just eleven. That number has never changed, and it is what makes this part of Avalon unlike anything else on the New Jersey coast. 5499 Dune Drive occupies one of those rare positions, set at the highest elevation in Avalon on one of the island’s largest and most private homesites. Designed by Mark Asher and built by JG Popper Custom Builders, the residence rises four stories, a distinction rarely found here, and is placed to capture both sunrise over the ocean and sunset over the bay. The main living level is open, refined, and filled with natural light. Walls of glass frame the dunes and the Atlantic beyond, allowing the landscape to become part of the home itself. A beautifully appointed kitchen anchors the space, flowing into a dining area designed for gathering and out to covered and open decks where the line between indoors and out begins to disappear. The pool and spa overlook the dunes in a setting that feels quiet, private, and almost impossible to replicate. Above it all, the primary suite occupies the entire fourth floor, creating a true retreat with dual vanities, an outdoor shower, and a private ocean facing deck with its own spa. A southern sitting room opens to a wraparound deck complete with seating around a fire pit with sweeping views across the wetlands and bay, offering a perspective few will ever experience in Avalon. On the ground level, a dedicated wellness center includes a full gym, steam shower, and sauna, adding a resort like layer to daily life. Every level of the home is designed for comfort, privacy, and connection, whether hosting extended family, welcoming guests, or simply retreating into the quiet of the dunes. 5499Dune Drive is more than a beach house. It is a private coastal compound built for generations. A home set on land that cannot be recreated, in a location shared by only a handful of neighbors, with views that remind you every day why Avalon’s High Dunes are in a class of their own.
