Imagine your own private oasis complete with a spring-fed lake and sandy beach less than 40 minutes from NYC. This secluded 7.9 acre estate features spectacular land and is surrounded by 490 acres of conservation. The property overlooks a dramatic quarry with pristine water for swimming, fishing and boating. For the nature enthusiast, a walking trail meanders the property. Renovate the existing 12,000+ sq. ft. main house, currently gutted to the studs or create your own dream. A 1,300 s.f partially-finished waterfront beach cottage was permitted for 2 baths, kitchen & indoor/outdoor fireplaces and sits just 20 feet from the lake. The storied property was originally owned by the Straus family of Macy's Department stores and then purchased by the Hearst family. Ground has been excavated next to the main house for a one-of-a-kind 60' infinity pool floating above the lake and overlooking the granite cliffs. Stables, staff quarters and garages grandfathered and may be re-built.
