South Mountain Road Estate

_{Offered by Russ Woolley of Wright Bros. Real Estate}

New City, NY

$3,300,000

Unfolding across 25 protected acres, this estate offers a level of privacy and permanence rarely found.

The land is non-developable and not subdividable, ensuring that the integrity of the estate and its remarkable setting will endure for generations to come. 

At its heart stands a residence designed by renowned American artist, ceramicist, sculptor and architect, Henry Varnum Poor.

Poor’s work is represented in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum. 

Most notably, the home retains original site-specific ceramic artwork created by Poor.

Including a remarkable fireplace installation, these pieces were conceived specifically for this residence and create an exceptionally rare connection between architecture, fine art, and American cultural history.

Built for Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Maxwell Anderson, this became home to an extraordinary concentration of artists…

writers, musicians, actors and intellectuals. And in doing so, created one of the most culturally significant creative communities in America.

Complimenting the main residence are a separate caretaker’s residence and a detached cottage.

The breadth of the beautiful compound offers exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family, creative pursuits, work-from-home needs, or private retreats. Tucked within a sunny glen, gently shaded by mature trees, a heated in-ground swimming pool creates a private retreat that feels worlds away from the pace of daily life. 

Few properties can offer this combination of substantial acreage, artistic provenance, and conservation-minded stewardship.

Just minutes from the villages, restaurants, galleries, and riverfront destinations that define this celebrated region — yet seemingly a world apart.
