The property is directly adjacent to the 216-acre Old Westbury Gardens, allowing for easy access to its breathtaking scenery and renowned history. This unique and rare property awaits its next chapter, offering limitless possibilities for its new owner. Whether you choose to create your own dream estate or develop a luxurious subdivision, this property is a true gem waiting to be discovered. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history in the heart of Long Island's coveted Gold Coast.
