Nature lover's paradise. Wonderful country estate on 30+ bucolic acres set alongside 878 acres of parkland and a nearby equestrian center, all just 75 minutes north of Manhattan. The 6,000+ square foot main house was built in 1903 in the American Shingle style and has the feel of a large, substantial country hunting lodge with it's massive field stone fireplace and warm comfortable living room with beamed ceilings, authentic wood walls, and grand staircase. The large but not pretentious house has magnificent tile roofs, and terrific flow for entertaining with the large living room flowing onto a substantial slate patio and extending onto an expansive side yard perfect for large tent parties. The house has many oversized windows and balconies in all directions overlooking bucolic country views of rolling lawns, mature plantings and ancient rock walls. There are a total of eight bathrooms and six huge bedrooms, two of which are master bedrooms with their own private balconies. The main floor master bedroom has his and hers bathrooms and windows on three sides, all with views of lawns. The second floor master bedroom also has expansive views. In addition to the main house, there is a gatekeeper's cottage and a caretaker's cottage. The gatekeeper's cottage has two bedrooms, three baths, a one car garage and a storage area.
