Property Details

Set behind gates on a premier corner lot along the 14th hole of NorthRiver Yacht Club, this extraordinary French-inspired estate offers over 11,400 sq ft of masterfully built living space designed for generations. Constructed with an 18x24 steel I-beam structure and topped with a 100-year slate roof, the home blends timeless architecture with modern resilience. Inside are 10 bedrooms, 8.5 baths, an all-wood study, theater, exercise room with sauna, wine cellar with reinforced construction, multiple dining areas, and five wood-burning fireplaces. The chef’s kitchen opens to an expansive outdoor living area complete with a full kitchen, screened porch, and gunite saltwater pool overlooking the course. Additional highlights include 127 Pella windows, copper gutters, cobblestone drive, gated video security, whole-house generator, and a 5-car garage. A rare opportunity to own a home that would be extraordinarily costly to recreate today—without the wait.
