Step into a timeless European countryside oasis seamlessly blended with chic, modern sophistication. This extraordinary estate showcases meticulous design, world-class craftsmanship, and unparalleled amenities across its expansive grounds. At the heart of the property lies a 9,600 sq. ft. main residence, featuring 6 spacious bedrooms, 7 spa-like baths, and 2 fully customized main-floor offices. Reimagined in 2011 by acclaimed NY-based designer and best-selling author Markham Roberts, the home was proudly featured in House Beautiful, a testament to its elevated style and thoughtful detail. From custom millwork to curated finishes, every space evokes both warmth and refined luxury. Custom cabinetry and built-ins, handcrafted paneling by Dutch Made, French polish pocket doors refinished on-site by a NY artisan, imported fixtures, luxe wool carpeting, hand-finished wood flooring, and cozy custom bench seating throughout blend warmth with modern grace. The centerpiece: a sun-drenched, chef’s dream eat-in kitchen—designed to bring the outdoors in, and life to the heart of the home, featuring a fleet of stainless appliances, custom marble bar, a gracious island, hand-painted wood floors, custom dining area, and French doors leading to the outdoor oasis. The estate’s grounds are a sanctuary unto themselves—lush gardens, trellises, and a stunning bluestone hardscape encircle a custom-designed pool, perfect for both serene mornings and vibrant entertaining. The garden house, an architectural gem in its own right, boasts a dramatic wood-burning stone fireplace, enclosed in glass with Mahogany French doors, inviting indoor-outdoor living all year round. Nearby, the impressive 2,000 sq. ft. carriage house features soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, a luxurious bedroom suite with a full bath, and a granite-topped bar complete with sink, icemaker, and Fisher & Paykel dishwasher. For leisure, enjoy a dedicated golf simulator room, all impeccably crafted by esteemed builder George Hildebrand in 2011. This estate is more than a home—it’s an immersive experience of luxury, design, and European charm, brought to life with intention and artistry.
