Valley and park views

Soak up the views during your stay.
This elegant, renovated carriage house is part of the former Vanderbilt Farm, a large model farm created by Frederick Vanderbilt as part of his vast Gilded Age estate. It was the first farm to bring fresh produce into New York City daily, on the railway owned by the Vanderbilt family. This carriage house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places jointly with a A McKim Mead & White designed farmhouse.

The space
Enter your retreat by a dramatic natural driveway, flanked by large rock escarpments, rising 30 or more feet on either side. It is lined with old growth oaks, maples, and hickory; and the rock ridges are coated with moss, ferns, and verdurous native plants. The full 100 acre estate grounds are available for your exploration and enjoyment. The exterior structure is entirely original, but the interior is re-imagined as a modern loft, with a new steel frame structure supporting the historic beams. The loft-type structure is built with heavy timber and steel frame construction, slab-on-grade. All the mechanical, plumbing, heating, electrical and control systems are new.

The interior has 4, 688 total sq. ft. and the exterior courtyards add another 2, 200 sq. ft. The South wall of the carriage house rises nearly 36' and is partitioned in glass, basking the space in light. Metal and glass French doors, manufactured in Europe, grace the entrance and the pool area. The structure boasts windows on all sides, and the dining room offers an expansive view of lush meadows divided by large rock ridges. The modern dining room addition expands the interior space from the Scavolini kitchen, and the spacious master bedroom and guest rooms will accommodate 6 or more guests. The interior is furnished with collectible furniture: Marcel Breuer, Gio Ponte, Norman Cherner, Eileen Gray, E. Saarinen, Phillipe Stark, Scavolini etc. Fixtures are from BDDW, Lindsay Adelman, Simon Pearce, among others. It will capture the interest of any devotee of modern design.

Guest access
The infinity pool (with hot tub) folds into the landscape. Your stay includes full access to the 100 acres farm estate that adjoins the property. This includes: a kitchen garden, fruit orchard, meadows, old growth forest, hiking trails, a stream, pond, farm road and other features. There is also use of a tennis court & soccer field.
