Price Collier, Legendary Private Gilded Age Mansion, is Offered by Christie’s International Real Estate at US$4,600,000

New York, New York—The Price Collier estate in elegant Tuxedo Park, just 38 miles from Manhattan, is one of the few homes reminiscent of the Gilded Age glamour, a period highlighted by America’s upper-class opulence. What today forms the village and the areas immediately surrounding this property was then a resort for the Blue Blood society developed by Pierre Lorillard IV.

In the 1880s, Pierre Lorillard, the tobacco millionaire and sportsman, acquired approximately 5,000 acres of land and hired architect Bruce Price to build a new community, sited around three sparkling lakes and nestled in the beauty of the Ramapo Mountains.

Price Collier is a Georgian estate that retains its original ambience, graciousness, and charm, sitting on 11 acres of land overlooking beautiful Tuxedo Lake.

“Fabled Tuxedo Park is unparalleled in its large number of preserved mansions from the 19th Century around a pristine glacial lake, all within a gated, secured enclosure. The stately and private Price Collier Estate is one of the great jewels in Tuxedo Park's crown,” says David Sanders, President and Founder of Sanders Properties.

Tuxedo Park’s founding architect Bruce Price designed this 10,000-square-foot property in 1900. The entrance of the property leads to an impressive hall with a grand side staircase, beyond which is the large main parlor with three sets of arched French doors leading out to the gardens.

The home's style complements Tuxedo Park's glory years by effortlessly capturing the ambience of a bygone era with original architectural details including 12 fireplaces with carved mantels and fire surrounds, hand-carved moldings and hardwood floors.

“The sale of this remarkable Gilded Age estate offers a unique opportunity to acquire one of the few remaining architecturally and historically significant properties a short distance away from Manhattan,” says Kathleen Coumou, Senior Vice President and Regional Manager of Christie’s International Real Estate.

Other reception rooms include a gracious living room, an elegant formal dining room, a breakfast room, and a powder room. A panelled library is the property’s focal room, affording great views of the lake. A side hall leads to the butler’s pantry and a massive eat-in kitchen, combining the best of classic features with the state-of-the-art conveniences of today. 

The upper floor is formed by 10 bedrooms and six bathrooms. The master chambers include a dressing room with a balcony overlooking the lake, and a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.  A former servant’s wing has been reconstructed as an owner’s library, lined in bookshelves with an office and bath.

Outside a conservatory beckons, opening to the front lawn, gardens, and pool overlooking Tuxedo Lake. The property also offers a five-car detached garage, a hideaway cottage, and a private Tuxedo Club Membership offering golf, tennis and swimming.
