Welcome to Lions Gate

A Private North Shore Estate of Distinction nestled in the heart of Long Island’s Gold Coast; Lions Gate is a grand and secluded country estate offering an unparalleled lifestyle of elegance and comfort. Located within the esteemed Locust Valley School District—home to the prestigious International Baccalaureate program, this magnificent residence blends refined architectural detail with the serenity of resort-style living, all set on five spectacular acres directly abutting the protected Hope Goddard Iselin Preserve, offering acres of unspoiled natural beauty and tranquil hiking trails.

Approached through an impressive automatic brick and wrought-iron gate, a sweeping, tree-lined drive meanders to a stately motor court and elegant front courtyard. A separate rear service drive discreetly accesses a four-car garage and additional parking down a private drive-an extension of the side yard ensuring both privacy and practicality. The estate offers approximately 8,500 square feet of luxurious interior living space, with twelve spacious rooms including seven bedrooms, six full baths, and two elegant powder rooms. First floor primary bedroom.

The interior reveals an artful blend of grandeur and warmth. Expansive principal rooms flow seamlessly from one to the next, highlighted by custom millwork, oversized windows, and thoughtful built-ins. The formal great room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and French doors opening to a grand rear patio. A sophisticated wet bar connects to an expansive den with a second fireplace, while the formal dining room also opens to the outdoor terrace, creating a harmonious indoor-outdoor entertaining experience. The chef’s kitchen, bathed in natural light from front-to-back exposures and skylights, is designed to serve as the heart of the home.

New top-of-the-line windows, doors, and roof enhance the home's overall appeal, blending luxury with lasting quality. The lower level has been fully designed for year-round recreation and entertainment. A custom-built bar and billiards room set the stage for lively gatherings, while a state-of-the-art home theater, dedicated gaming room, and a fully equipped summer kitchen provide every imaginable amenity. A private home gym, oversized laundry room, utility rooms, and several generous walk-in cedar closets offer practicality with luxurious flair. Extensive custom storage, multiple walk-ins, and direct access to the four-car garage add to the home's thoughtful functionality.

Outside, the estate transforms into a private resort. An expansive, heated in-ground pool is accompanied by a charming cabana with two changing rooms and a covered sitting area for relaxing in shade or sun. A professional-grade tennis court, oversized lawn chess set, and formal gardens designed with curated specimen plantings offer year-round visual interest and endless enjoyment.
