Trophy Properties

Sumptuous and sleek, these are some of the most sought-after properties on the real estate market today.

HAWK NEST, RAMAPO VALLEY

Imagine an equestrian Eden, just 30 miles from midtown Manhattan, where more than 43 acres of pastoral perfection are nestled within an additional 9,000 preserved acres occupied by the Ramapo Reservation, Ramapo River, and the Audubon Preserve-a sublime backdrop for a magnificent English manor estate that presides over the lush setting.

The estate includes the main house and adjacent staff quarters, stables, guest loft, indoor riding arena, and six generous horse paddocks (one of which was recently converted to a jumping course).

Made of pure Indiana limestone under a Vermont slate roof, the imposing main house has been appointed with a beautiful delicacy, creating a dichotomy as intriguing as the mere idea of having a secluded, serene, top-notch horse farm right outside the city that never sleeps. Inside, the finest eco-friendly, yet still exotic, materials have been used throughout the home (lyptus, Brazilian walnut, imported Italian travertine). Discreet, yet cutting-edge technology is also utilized, such as the state-of-the-art HVAC system providing ultra-pure air throughout the home, radiant heat in every room with each room as its own zone, and SMART home technology.

The English stables and horse paddocks are just a sample of the idyllic views offered from the three-tiered terrace with infinity pool. The stable boasts all imported English details and culminates with the 14,000-square-foot indoor arena. The countless amenities for both the human and equine residents are endless, and the vast surroundings could easily accommodate a riding club, which would be the only one of its kind in the area. The result of more than five years of planning, importing, and creating is simply harmonious perfection.
