Owl Hill Estate

Offered for the first time in over 6 decades, Owl Hill is a secluded estate on 27.63 acres on Long Island's North Shore-a magical oasis where nature meets the luxury of old-world grandeur offering peace and tranquility only 50 miles from New York City. A private .3 mile circular driveway transports you to another world as it winds past wooded forest, rolling lawns and majestic trees until you arrive at a classic and elegant 6,500+ square foot main residence that sits atop a hill among towering oak and maple trees. Owl Hill was designed in 1907 by renowned American architect Henry Killam Murphy (1877-1954) best known for his work in China, Japan and Korea. With extraordinary craftsmanship and one-of-a kind details throughout, the house preserves the elegance and integrity of the turn of the last century. This unique home boasts 5 ensuite master bedrooms, a large music/living room, a wood-paneled dining room, a formal library, a separate wing with 3 staff bedrooms, a massive attic, a sprawling basement and a wrap-around porch with views across landscaped lawns. There is a separate 2-car garage (with upstairs studio) and a gunite pool with cabana nestled in the forest. With 8 majestic fireplaces, enjoy a roaring fire in every room and completely forget you are only an hour away from the big city. With original tiger oak and mahogany hardwood floors, moldings and details throughout, soaring ceilings, and original pocket doors, this home is a treasure, hidden in its own forest. Located only minutes from the Long Island Sound, the Northern Parkway, the Long Island Expressway, the Long Island Rail Road, private access beaches, golf courses and all amenities, Owl Hill offers the best of both worlds: ultimate privacy and convenient access. Currently 2 separate tax lots; further subdivision possible.
