Skylands is a 1,119-acre estate in Ringwood State Park, Ringwood, New Jersey, built in 1922 for the New York stockbroker and civil engineer Clarence MacKenzie Lewis. The property's 44-room Tudor Revival manor house was designed by the architect John Russell Pope in the manner of an English country house, and the surrounding grounds later became the New Jersey State Botanical Garden. New Jersey acquired the estate in 1966, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 for its architectural and landscape design significance.
