A Gold Coast Legacy Estate: Along the storied bluffs of Lloyd Harbor’s Gold Coast, where private drives wind through centuries-old trees and the water stretches endlessly toward the horizon, Fort Hill rises as one of the North Shore’s most iconic waterfront estates. Welcome to 31 Fort Hill Drive, 28,000 square feet of architectural gravitas set across 10 secluded acres, with 870 feet of private beachfront and a deep-water dock. From its elevated perch, panoramic views of the Long Island Sound unfold in every direction: sunrise mists, sailboats at golden hour, winter tides crashing below. The perspective is cinematic. The privacy absolute. Originally built in 1910 and masterfully restored to its original glory, this Victorian Revival masterpiece is both historic landmark and modern sanctuary. Thirteen bedrooms, ten full baths, and four half baths are artfully distributed throughout grandly scaled living spaces designed for legacy living and world-class entertaining. A luminous solarium captures the changing light of the Sound. A stately wood-paneled library offers quiet retreat. An exquisitely detailed ballroom: rare in scale and craftsmanship, stands ready for unforgettable evenings. Seven fireplaces, intricate millwork, and curated architectural detail evoke an era when homes were built not merely to inhabit, but to endure. The fully renovated gourmet kitchen anchors the residence with contemporary precision: integrating seamlessly into formal dining rooms and intimate gathering spaces. Staff quarters, a 16-car garage with guest apartment suites above, and flexible rooms for theater, wellness, or gallery use ensure the estate functions as effortlessly as it impresses. Outdoors, three acres of curated formal gardens and a greenhouse create a private botanical world: lush lawns, sweeping terraces, and moments of serene seclusion. A squash court, expansive grounds, and private shoreline complete a compound that is as rare as it is commanding. Set within moments to Huntington Village and the train to Manhattan, Fort Hill is not simply a home. It is a generational estate - where American history, architectural pedigree, and natural beauty converge. By appointment only.

Lake Coeur d'Alene's most iconic estate, The House on the Rock, is now available with deeded land within Gozzer Ranch Golf and Lake Club; only this home comes with its own private dock and 320 feet of water frontage for ultimate privacy. Windows and expansive decking create the rare sensation of being suspended over the lake itself, light pouring through the home from morning to dusk, water in nearly every view. Lush, mature grounds wrap the residence in privacy, an outdoor shower tucked into the landscape. Two new cabins with 2 walls of glass allow you to wake up to the water lapping at the rocks. A recent connection to sewers dramatically expands what is possible. This addition allowed the owners to add a flexible third bedroom space and bathroom, making this special home the social gathering place of fun and memories. Full plans are also available. Designed by renowned firm Olson Kundig, a reimagined main home and ADU maintain the spirit of the House on the Rock.
