This luxurious country estate offers serenity, incomparable amenities and a comfortable and relaxing lifestyle fusing Old World grandeur with thoroughly modern appointments.”

Peace and relaxation were dominant themes when designing this one-of-a-kind home. From the massage suite complete with a steam room and sauna, to its three indoor and outdoor spas, guests and residents can restore themselves in luxurious comfort.

A fully equipped, custom crafted Old English-styled Pub and technologically advanced theatre are special features for hosting family and friends. The main living floors open up to three outdoor terraces overlooking five horse paddocks and with scenic views of the Ramapo River and rolling hillsides. In addition to the generous and lush paddocks, equestrians will further appreciate the 20-stall barn with state-of-the-art facilities, a 14,000-square-foot indoor riding arena and private riding trails.

Outside, there is a regulation soccer field, basketball court, and infinity pool with a three-tiered stone terrace, with an outdoor kitchen. There are sport lounges throughout the estate, as well as an indoor pool with spa, wine cellar, home theater, English-style pub with elaborate woodwork, massage room, gym, padded recreation area, and generator.
