This rare, 6.3+ acre lot is an architect , designer, or builders dream opportunity. This spectacular private, historic site encompasses an entire mountainside directly overlooking pristine Tuxedo Lake. The property, original site of the circa 1800s Halsey Estate, features numerous lovely walking and hiking paths bordered by historic, hand hewn stone walls and stone walled garden areas that date back to the 1800's.

A small, historic stone gardeners shed is included on a large, flat portion of the property that is within close proximity of the home. This was originally a formal garden area, and is accessed by a stone staircase. This would be an ideal location for a pool, croquet lawn, tennis court, or vegetable/flower garden. One entire side of this area is bordered by a historic stone wall.
Located at the highest point of the property, and accessed by a wooded walking trail, sits a lovely Gazebo, with panoramic views of the entire lake and surrounding Ramapo Mountains. This beautiful setting is ideal for al fresco dining, picnicking, barbecuing, or just admiring the spectacular sunsets in the evenings over cocktails. The covered gazebo can seat twelve comfortably.
The elegant, approximately 5000 sq ft custom brick home is ready to be renovated, restored, or rebuilt to the new owners specifications. All preliminary preparations have been attended to, and the first floor and lower level have been gutted and are ready to be redesigned. A new roof was put on approximately two years ago, and the home features seven woodburning fireplaces, a beautiful, large, circular brick covered terrace overlooking Tuxedo Lake, three additional terraces facing the lake, and a sun deck off of the master suite area.
The second and third floors have not been gutted, and are awaiting a decorators touch.
The formal dining room features gorgeous 100+ year old leaded glass cabinets and Windows , resurrected from a bygone era.
Whether you wish to renovate this beautiful home, or build from scratch, this is a one of a kind opportunity that is rarely , if ever, available.
