You wake to the quiet rustle of willows brushing against the morning light, the kind of silence that feels almost impossible this close to New York City. Stepping onto your balcony, you look out across 14 acres of rolling lawns and blooming gardens—a private world that seems to stretch endlessly. You wander down the long veranda for coffee, pausing to watch koi ripple across the pond. Late morning is spent moving between the tennis court and putting green, the estate unfolding like a country club built solely for you. By afternoon, friends gather by the saltwater pool while you grill on the patio, the scent of hydrangeas drifting in the breeze. Later, you retreat to the meditation garden, where the quiet feels ancient, grounded, and restorative. As golden hour settles over the property, you drive the golf cart along the half-mile path, passing stone walls, shady gazebos, and your children laughing near the life-size dollhouse. Dinner is in the grand dining room—or on the veranda, if the weather is perfect. By nightfall, you return to your suite with its dual ensuites and balconies, ending the day in a place that feels timeless, cinematic, and entirely your own.
