A stunning kitchen anchors the home w/ La Cornue stove/oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, 2 dishwashers & seamless entry to a sunlit stone great-room.The primary suite is a true sanctuary w/ its own foyer, balcony, custom closet & imported marble bath. Magical outdoor living w/ expansive terraces, an indoor-outdoor kitchen w/ an imported pizza oven & Argentine grill & a bocce court overlooking sweeping views. Property is also home to a fully renovated guest cottage & a charming carriage-house suite above the 3 car garage. Updated mechanicals & a full-property generator provide effortless modern comfort. Just 1 hour from NYC, yet feeling worlds away, The Herb Farm is more than a home, it is an extraordinary estate where every season feels cinematic & every detail tells a story.
