Set down a quiet lane this resort-style estate is prime living-just one hour from NYC. A tranquil place to call home for the discerning buyer who can spot special custom home. A thoughtful and tasteful full renovation was completed in 2013. The neo-classical post-and-beam design is a unique dwelling with no comparison in its stature and setting. Situated high on a rock ledge with immaculate mature landscaping and ornate trees—from mighty Oaks and tall Hemlocks to Japanese Maples and Weeping Cherries—the property is a nature lover’s dream.

Large stone steps lead to the patio and pool area,with a secluded wood walkway and level park-like lawn leading to the guest cottage. The pool area feels completely separate and extremely private,yet remains visible from the main house.
