The estate features a variety of charming buildings, including a four-bedroom artist's studio, a cozy country house, a spacious tin barn, three-bedroom cottages, the original ice house, laundry and horse stalls, and a four-bay garage with an expansive workshop. The property is directly adjacent to the 216-acre Old Westbury Gardens, allowing for easy access to its breathtaking scenery and renowned history. This unique and rare property awaits its next chapter, offering limitless possibilities for its new owner. Whether you choose to create your own dream estate or develop a luxurious subdivision, this property is a true gem waiting to be discovered.
