Bedford, NY Sporting Estate, Offered at U.S. $14.5 Million, Presents 75 Verdant Acres an Hour from Manhattan

BEDFORD, NY – Admired for its elegant architecture, resort-style amenities and prized location on 75 private acres, “888 Bedford House” is now being exclusively marketed by Christie’s International Real Estate and its Exclusive Affiliate Houlihan Lawrence. The sporting residence on Old Post Road, priced at $14.5 million, is one of Westchester County’s grandest estates, surrounded by protective forests and situated 50 miles north of Manhattan.

Set amid a beautifully planted, rolling landscape, the English-style manor house—designed by noted architect Ralph Mackin—is a classically inspired, modern masterpiece on a hill, bounded by a nine-foot deer fence on 10 internal acres. With six bedrooms, nine bathrooms and two powder rooms, as well as a paneled library, staff quarters and a recreation room, the 12,000-square-foot, gated home displays a blend of classic design and contemporary style. Fine materials and finishes distinguish the residence, further refined by high ceilings and details including custom moldings, superior woodwork, stately fireplaces, and walls of windows and French doors that drench the home in natural light and present vistas of the surrounding grounds. Modern conveniences, such as an elevator, state-of-the-art kitchen, expansive entertaining spaces, and a wine room, balance the home’s classical influences.

“Epitomizing private, extravagant living, the estate presents buyers with a distinct combination of classic elegance and modern luxury, in one of the region’s most idyllic locales,” said Kathleen Coumou, Senior Vice President, Northeast Regional Manager of Christie’s International Real Estate.

A sportsman’s haven, 888 Bedford House offers a gym, sauna, an indoor lap pool, and a specially permitted, professional indoor tennis pavilion, complete with a bathroom, kitchen and viewing lounge.

Outside, delights continue with magnificently designed gardens, verdant lawns, an outdoor pool, and a sunken tennis court. A poolside, two-bedroom guesthouse features a large central living room and high-end kitchen. Additional offerings include a kennel and four-car garage.

“The home’s interior luxuries are enhanced by the property’s striking exterior, resort-styled amenities and incomparable surrounding grounds,” added Camille Branca, the listing agent with Christie’s International Real Estate affiliate Houlihan Lawrence.

Houlihan Lawrence is committed to local expertise, global access, excellent client service, and leadership. With 26 offices and more than 1,200 associates, Houlihan Lawrence is the largest area broker serving the Westchester, Fairfield, Dutchess, and Putnam real estate markets.
