luxury houses with sea view for sale Greenwood Lake, United States

An architectural tour-de-force with commanding siting, the former Herbert C. Pell residence stands among the most distinguished homes in Tuxedo Park - one of few positioned at high elevation with panoramic lake and mountain views to the South, East, and West. Designed in the late 1890s by architect William A. Bates, this masterpiece rises from a monolithic, native stone foundation, its structure appearing to emerge naturally from the hillside as a testament to engineering and artistry. Finely laid brick and hand-crafted millwork form an exterior of remarkable beauty and enduring craftsmanship. The facade’s Neoclassical, Georgian, Queene Anne and Greek Revival details along with the Dutch-gambrel rooflines, create a residence of timeless appeal in the classic Tuxedo Park vernacular. Inside, the home is balanced between grandeur and comfort, making it as ideal for entertaining on a grand scale as it is for refined daily living. A formal entry and sweeping staircase introduce high-ceilinged rooms filled with natural light and long views over Tuxedo Lake. A columned octagonal living room with intricate millwork and large windows anchor the formal spaces, while the restored oak-paneled dining room features a wood-burning fireplace and generous scale for gatherings both intimate and large. Both rooms open to an elevated, covered porch that extends the living area outside to embrace breathtaking vistas with Tuxedo Lake shimmering below, under sunrise and sunset. Throughout the home, six distinctive fireplaces punctuate the interiors with warmth and architectural interest. Rounding out the main level are the kitchen and the richly appointed library with bar shelving, built-in book shelving, and oversized windows. The second floor offers five spacious bedrooms, some with striking lake or mountain views, fireplaces and en-suite baths. The primary suite offers exceptional views, fireplace, dressing room, walk-in-closet and ensuite bath. The partially renovated top floor invites customization as studios, playroom, exercise rooms, or guest suite, here also with outstanding scenic views. A walk-out lower level enhances versatility with a private office, summer kitchen, recreation room, full bath, three-season porch, and a climate-controlled wine room. Set on approximately 1.5 acres, the property features terraced lawns, and stone garden pathways. Mature trees, native plantings, and the elevated topography ensure privacy and scenic beauty in every season. Perfectly situated in the heart of historic, 24-hour-guarded Tuxedo Park - just about one hour from New York City - this landmark residence embodies the community’s architectural legacy and lakeside lifestyle, offering a rare combination of premium location, architectural provenance and comfortable, inspired living.

Renamor is a spectacular estate blending history, grandeur and modern sustainability in a truly unique way. It is situated on the largest piece of property ever to be sold in historic Tuxedo Park, 151 acres in the Lower Hudson Valley (50 minutes to NYC)! The fact that it's now on the market for the first time in over 30 years makes it even more enticing for a discerning buyer seeking a one-of-a-kind property. Built circa 1928 in the romantic French Provincial style, Renamor stands apart from other Gilded Age homes in the region for its timeless charm and rustic elegance popularized in post-World War I America architecture. With its distinct hip roof, classic clay tiles, dormer windows, stone and stucco facade and period ironwork inside and out, it evokes the spirit of Normandy, Provence and the French countryside brought to life in the rolling hills of New York's Lower Hudson Valley. Originally commissioned by George S. and M. Renee Carhart Amory whose blended names inspired the estate's Renamor name, the property has been meticulously preserved. Most recently, it was lovingly restored and cared for by the late Robert S. Dow, a prominent asset manager and a committed philanthropist who believed deeply in giving back to the community. Renamor includes three distinct residences totaling over 22,000 square feet: a 14,000-sf main residence, featuring a dramatic great hall, grand salon, banquet-sized dining room, extraordinary library, former chapel, a fumoir, where gentlemen smoked after dinner, a wine cellar, an expansive kitchen, and six bedroom suites; a completely renovated 3,700-sf guest house from the 1930s; and 4,500-sf carriage house with a luxurious private apartment. Beyond the residences, the estate includes a boathouse on Tuxedo Lake, a secluded one-room log cabin with a large stone fireplace, a spa/pool house, tea house, oversized five-car garage and multiple outdoor entertaining areas. With 16 bedrooms, 20 bathrooms and 19 fireplaces, the property is designed for both intimate living and large-scale entertainment, giving Renamor the versatility to be both a private retreat and entertainer's paradise ideal for hosting gatherings of all sizes in a setting that feels both grand and comfortable. The fact that it has outdoor activities on the estate as well as multiple pools, lake access and golf course at nearby Tuxedo Club, makes it a true lifestyle property. Renamor is not just a historic treasure, it's also a model of sustainability renewably powered by solar and geothermal energy, giving it a forward-thinking edge. A $1 million+ investment was made over a decade ago, allowing the property to operate entirely off the grid, independent of local utilities. Its net-zero energy integration includes a microgrid system and high-efficiency upgrades that ensure modern performance while preserving the estate's historic character. Tuxedo Park itself adds another layer of distinction. As the first planned residential community in America-complete with a centralized sewer system-it carries deep historical relevance. Just 40 miles from Manhattan and close to private airports, the area offers rare access to nature and urban convenience all in one. Renamor is more than a home-it's a legacy estate, ready to be passed to a new generation of stewardship. Whether as a weekend retreat or a full-time residence, this is a landmark property of remarkable depth, vision and beauty. Find your one of one. Renamor.
