Westchester County Estate
Private Residence, Westchester County, New York
Welcome to this re-imagined 26 acre historic estate, where timeless elegance meets thoughtful property design. Our vision was to honor the estate’s nineteenth century heritage and seamlessly integrate modern functionality and aesthetic refinement.
The journey begins with a newly conceived sweeping entry drive that gracefully unfolds through open lawns and meadows, setting a serene and calming tone. A stately allée of maple trees guides guests to the parking courtyard, balancing formality with a sense of natural beauty.
Throughout the grounds native fieldstone walls lend texture and authenticity, anchoring the landscape in its regional context. These walls are both structural and sculptural, echoing the estate’s historical roots while defining spaces within the expansive property.
The rear terrace’s grand space is designed to facilitate large-scale entertaining yet remain intimate enough for everyday family living. The “white linen” marble terrace extends into the landscape with bold, graphic elements creating a striking contrast against the soft green of the surrounding lawn.
Beyond the terrace the landscape unfolds into curated sculpture gardens and open spaces, offering moments of discovery and reflection. Each element, from the placement of a stone wall to the choice of planting, has been carefully designed to support both the legacy of the estate and the family’s lifestyle today.
This landscape is a dialogue between past and present, art and nature, structure and softness - an enduring expression of elegance in every season.
