This $7.8M Tuxedo Park estate brings modern luxury to a onetime Gilded Age playground

America’s first gated community, Tuxedo Park–birthplace of the formal tuxedo–in New York’s Orange County was once home to Gilded Age royalty like J.P. Morgan and the Astors. Asking $7,795,000, the six-acre estate known as Brook Farm is anchored by an 8,250 square-foot home bounded by a 49-acre nature preserve. Within this private wilderness, you'll find resort-level amenities like a saltwater pool and spa, a tennis court, a private pond, a waterfall, and a running path–all just an hour from Manhattan.

This $4.6M Hudson Valley property is equal parts historic homestead and chic, contemporary estate

By Michelle Cohen

Down a tranquil stretch of road in Germantown, New York, a long gravel drive leads to Barnswood, the Hudson Valley estate at 153 County Road 6. Once part of the original Livingston estate, the land, spread over eight acres of meadow and woods, was returned to the Livingston family in the early 1900s as part of the family's working farm. It is this combination of estate and homestead that still defines this unusual property. Asking $4,600,000, Barnswood is just ten minutes from Germantown and Tivoli, and not much farther to Hudson, Rhinebeck, and Amtrak access.
