"Lands End Manor" - A Masterpiece Collection Listing

The Last Great Gold Coast Estate

A Glimpse Into The Past, A Vision Of The Future.

A Waterfront Oasis Of Timeless Luxury.

This exceptional waterfront Estate is located in the bucolic Village of Lattingtown, New York on the North Shore of Long Island just 35 miles east of Manhattan and within minutes of fine dining and shopping in quaint Locust Valley. Lattingtown boasts its own sandy village beach, and offers a lifestyle where luxurious living and the natural setting of the Long Island Sound can be enjoyed.

Lands End Manor is comprised of 32 beautifully cultivated and preserved acres offering a country and equestrian lifestyle on the Gold Coast of Long Island. Lands End is a compound rich in history with roots dating back to the 1800s when it was a working farm. The property has been updated and transformed over time and has only had two owners. Today, handsome columns with wrought-iron gates welcome arrival to a long drive framed with lush, manicured lawns, and specimen trees that unfold to spectacular views of the sublime eight-bedroom Colonial Manor. The residence overlooks a picturesque and distinctive pool house with a living room, refreshment bar, two baths, a changing room, and a convenient laundry. Perfect for entertaining, there are bluestone dining patios at the front and back of the pool house. One overlooks the sparkling heated oval swimming pool, spa and ornamental garden and the other patio overlooks a wisteria covered gazebo and open lawns that meet the water’s edge at Frost Creek and the Long Island Sound beyond. In addition, there is a spacious six-bedroom cottage and a five-stall heated stable with two attached caretaker cottages and an attached four-bay garage. Two split-rail fenced paddocks provide ample room for pasture and riding. Captivating famed gardens, attributed in their design to Frederick Law Olmstead, include a fragrant English garden with drifts of flowering perennial plantings encircling a charming cherub fountain, an enchanting rose garden with an architectural wall fountain and a sprawling flower, herb and vegetable garden. Grape vines, heavy with sun ripened fruit, are trained upon attractive arbors, and a greenhouse with a potting shed and cold frame provide ambient housing for plant propagation throughout the year. Apple, pear, peach and fig trees bear seasonal fruit, and specimen trees are dotted throughout the pastoral grounds.

Bridging The Past And Future In Every Detail.

An original farmhouse, circa 1885, was transformed into a luxurious Georgian-inspired Colonial Manor home attributed to notable architects Walker & Gillette in 1926.

Today, the residence is a timeless and gracious home of distinction. Its crisp white painted brick facade is unified by windows dressed with Essex green shutters. Brick chimneys punctuate the slate roof while fluted pilasters and classic moldings set off a welcoming front entry portico.

The back of the residence is oriented to magical sunsets over western water views.

Where History And Luxury Converge.

They are beautifully scaled for entertaining. Wood paneled doors with a rich patina open to a grand formal living room with 10 ½ foot high ceilings adorned with intricate layered crown moldings.
