Set on a serene 32-acre waterfront parcel on the coveted Gold Coast of Long Island, The Manor at Lands End stands as one of the last truly prestigious estates of its kind. This breathtaking compound, steeped in history, offers a rare opportunity to own an exceptional 1920s horse property, with limitless views of Frost Creek and the glistening Long Island Sound. Originally a circa 1850 farmhouse, the estate was reimagined by the renowned architectural firm Walker & Gillette into the magnificent Georgian Colonial mansion that graces the property today.

Spanning 13,000 sq. ft., the stately Manor Home/Main Residence is an architectural masterpiece, featuring exquisite original millwork, soaring ceilings, and an abundance of natural light. The grand formal rooms are perfect for hosting, including an expansive living room with a regal fireplace, a wood-paneled library, an elegant dining room, and a sunroom that captures sweeping views of the surrounding gardens and waterfront landscape. The home is further enhanced with luxurious details such as hand-painted murals, wide plank hardwood floors, and a dramatic spiral staircase beneath a stunning domed skylight. The eight spacious bedrooms, most with private en-suites, include a spectacular Primary Wing with two sitting rooms, 'his-and-her' dressing rooms, and two marble bathrooms. For staff or guests, the home offers a private two-bedroom apartment, with separate access for ultimate privacy.

The estate's grounds are equally impressive. Designed by the legendary Frederick Law Olmsted, the landscaping is a true work of art, including a fragrant English garden, a walled rose garden, and expansive vegetable and herb gardens. Included in the Historic Gardens Registry at the Smithsonian Institute, the lush scenery overlooks the North Shore coastline and offers complete tranquility. A gazebo sits in a prime location to enjoy the nature preserve, and centuries-old trees, fruit orchards, and horse pastures further enhance the estate's bucolic beauty. Grape vines, carefully tended by the owners, add another layer of charm and luxury to the property.

In addition to the main residence, the expansive grounds boast an array of other exceptional structures including a six-bedroom Guest Residence and a five-stall mahogany stable with an attached tack room and a staff apartment that is ideal for equestrian enthusiasts. Multiple detached garages and two large greenhouses finish off the estate's outbuildings. The beautiful brick-columned pool house, with views of the sparkling in-ground pool and spa, is the perfect retreat for relaxation during the warmer months.

This incomparable home is located within proximity to the Village of Locust Valley and several internationally acclaimed golf courses and private country clubs. With its impeccable gardens, tranquil pastures, oversized entertaining stone patios, and radiant waterfront views, The Manor at Lands End offers an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of Long Island’s rich history. This is more than a home; it is a sanctuary - a place of beauty, privacy, and legacy that will last for generations to come. © 2024 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
