Situated on a Hudson Valley hilltop in Garrison, New York, this 50-acre estate with a French-inspired stone chateaux at its heart is a dream of grand country living come to life. Asking $12,250,000, the 6,200-square foot manse is surrounded by gardens and woods, with porches and patios, a pool, a guest house, and a billiards cabin, all within 50 miles of New York City.
Built in 1929, the estate hasn’t changed hands for nearly a century. Its buildings have recently undergone a total restoration, bringing state-of-the-art electric, internet, alarm, and HVAC systems.
Beneath a slate roof, the main residence is anchored by a dazzling rotunda with a winding stair. Its 26 rooms include five bedrooms and five full baths. An attached garage offers charging stations.
Gracious rooms are both elegant and intimate, with colors, fabrics, and textures reflecting considered design. A high-end country kitchen blends cool grey cabinetry with a bright canary-yellow range. A formal dining room is a grand alternative to an intimate dining nook.
Rooms have been designed to highlight the home’s period elegance. Two ground-floor porches allow easy indoor/outdoor living.
Bedrooms are luxurious, surrounded by garden views. There are two dreamy sleeping porches off the bedrooms for midsummer nights and lazy afternoons.
The home is surrounded by manicured gardens maintained by a landscaping service. Highlights include a balustrade south terrace, a formal rose garden with a pergola and fountain, a secluded fire pit area, and a gunite pool surrounded by flower gardens and stone terraces. The property is bordered by protected conservation land.
In addition to the main house, the property includes a 4,000-square-foot carriage house that has been converted into an artist’s studio and guest house. An additional outbuilding serves as a billiards lodge and a gardening house.
The property owner will have recreational access to nearby Lake Alice, a highlight of the surrounding Hudson Highlands region.
