luxury houses with terrace for sale Orange County, United States

Overlooking the Hudson River in the esteemed hamlet of Balmville, The Rest is a rare and remarkable offering—a Gothic Revival masterpiece and enduring symbol of 19th-century architecture, masterfully adapted for modern living. The Rest was designed as both a living work of art and an inviting home and celebrates the ethos of High Victorian Gothic Revival showcasing soaring tracery ceilings, gasolier-style chandeliers, floor to ceiling doors adorned with wood-framed diamond-patterned glass, and a Tiffany-style stained-glass window at its heart. Rich inlaid and parquet floors, full-height wood wainscoting, and pocket doors feature prominently in the entry hall, drawing room, library, and dining room. Six original marble and wood fireplace mantels anchor the home. Glass-front-built-ins and intimate mullioned bay window seating invite the sharing of secrets. Befitting its name, The Rest is an approachable home, grounded in comfort with expansive views of the Hudson from a bluestone veranda spanning the western facade. A butler's pantry connects the formal dining room with a chef's kitchen featuring granite counters and river views, warm living room with wide wood plank floors, powder room, and access to the heated pool. The second floor offers a primary suite with views of the Hudson and a custom dressing corridor. The spa-like ensuite has a double vanity, quartz counters, bidet, and soaking tub with river views. The second floor is complete with four additional bedrooms and a bonus room, two with river views, and two more full baths. The upper floors are connected by a discreet secondary staircase and anchored by a traditional oculus or 'roof lantern' that beautifully filters daylight down to the floors below. Commissioned in the 1860s by Daniel Bennett St. John— Congressman, Senator, and a founding editor of The New York Times—this estate was brought to life by Frederick Clarke Withers, a leading figure in American Gothic Revival architecture and influenced by Calvert Vaux, co-designer of Central Park.

AUCTION BIDDING CLOSED. UNDER CONTRACT MILLIONS OVER ASKING. Renamor stands as a rare French Provincial estate built in 1928, when a sophisticated New York couple, Renee and George Amory, commissioned a European-inspired retreat whose art collection would later count the Metropolitan Museum of Art among its admirers. The house was built for original owners George Amory, a major stockholder in the container shipping business Sea-Land Freight Company, and his wife Marion Renee, who inspired the Renamor name. Spanning over 150 private acres within the gated, guarded confines of historic Tuxedo Park, the estate adjoins nearly two thousand acres of protected parkland and old bridle trails, delivering rare privacy just fifty minutes from Manhattan. Three residences totaling over 22,000 square feet include a grand main house with a great hall, banquet dining room, library, wine vault, and former chapel, alongside a fully renovated guest house and a carriage house apartment. A more than one million dollar investment made over a decade ago allows the property to operate entirely off the grid, independent of local utilities, with net-zero energy integration including a microgrid system. A boathouse on Tuxedo Lake, log cabin, spa, tea house, tennis court, and dual pools complete this landmark property, ready for a new era of stewardship.
