Description
A truly unique and exceptional offering in the Village of Scarsdale, this magnificent hidden 5.86-acre country estate, owned by one family for more than 60 years, presents a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, architectural character, and remarkable potential. Set atop a gently elevated knoll and directly abutting Saxon Woods Park and its miles of hiking trails, the property offers an extraordinary sense of seclusion while remaining conveniently close to Scarsdale’s renowned schools, transportation, recreation, major highways, village amenities and approximately 40 minutes from midtown Manhattan! At the heart of the property lies a distinctive 1950’s four-bedroom, three-bath open-planned windowed residence, designed by an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright and rich in period architectural details. Surrounded by mature trees, a grand front expanse, lush landscaping, and tranquil grounds, the home captures a unique mid-century spirit and provides an inspiring foundation for light renovations or a complete reimagining. An attached greenhouse adds further charm and possibilities for the discerning gardener or horticultural enthusiast. A separate one-bedroom, one-bath garage-attached cottage provides additional accommodations for guests, staff, extended family, or a private office or studio as well as a newly renovated in-law suite on the lower level. The grounds are an exceptional private retreat, featuring a swimming pool, tennis court, spring-fed meditation pond for summer fishing or winter ice skating, and an exclusive wooded area complete with a private hiking trail and opportunities for real woods exploration. Adding to the property's extraordinary appeal is its AA-1 zoning—currently the only remaining on-market large-acre property in the Village of Scarsdale with this designation—offering an unusually broad range of potential uses, subject to applicable approvals. Permitted possibilities include a private equestrian facility with a stable for up to four horses, school, assisted living facility, medical office, religious center, playground, private club or a private compound, with a two-acre minimum for the latter. Whether envisioned as a spectacular private estate, a thoughtful maintenance of its mid-century architectural heritage, or an entirely new creation, this extraordinary property offers an opportunity rarely found in Scarsdale. This is your rare opportunity to own a specialized home or create something truly exceptional on one of the Village's most distinctive and private parcels.
