    What's special

    Private en-suite guest roomSun-filled interiorsSerene park-like acresLush meticulously manicured groundsGenerously proportioned primary suiteCurated gardensProfessional lighted riding ring
    Set on five serene, park-like acres in Matinecock, this exceptional estate offers a rare blend of privacy, elegance, and opportunity. The lush, meticulously manicured grounds—masterfully designed by the acclaimed landscape architecture firm Innocenti & Webel—create a breathtaking setting with ample room for a pool or future enhancements. Designed for both sophisticated entertaining and effortless everyday living, the residence features sun-filled interiors that seamlessly open to expansive lawns and picturesque outdoor spaces. The generously proportioned primary suite, along with three additional bedrooms—including a private en-suite guest room—are thoughtfully situated away from the main living areas, offering comfort, tranquility, and a true sense of retreat. The gourmet kitchen is appointed with top-tier Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, perfectly suited for the discerning chef. A substantially lower level presents endless possibilities, whether envisioned as a wine cellar, private cinema, fitness studio, or additional recreational space. Enhancing the property is a private equestrian facility complete with a barn, stables, professional lighted riding ring, and storage. Equally versatile, this space could easily be reimagined as a yoga or art studio, curated gardens, or a resort-style pool and wellness retreat. This remarkable estate offers an extraordinary opportunity to create a truly bespoke sanctuary.
