OPEN HOUSE Rockledge Farm offers a retreat of another time in Bedford, New York
ROCKLEDGE FARM
JUST BEYOND BEDFORD’S many conveniences and luxuries is a retreat with the heart of another time and place. At Rockledge Farm, a private haven sweeping across 26 acres, the charm and wonder of a bygone era live in beautiful union with the modern day.
Set slightly above the rest of the property, the main house, comprised of five bedrooms and seven baths, overlooks the entirety of this impressive estate. Western exposure and cleverly-set steel windows provide the perfect framing for breathtaking sunsets, while intricately appointed interiors create an environment brimming with richness and depth. The house features multiple stone fireplaces, a gourmet kitchen, an open-air porch, a three-floor elevator, gym and yoga room, and a wine cellar fit for vineyard-style tastings.
A short walk from the main house will lead to Rockledge Farm’s vintage pool house. Originally built in 1931 and now restored to its former glory, the pool house holds special historical significance for the property. The three levels of the pool house, consisting of an upper deck, upper-level living area, and lower level changing area, are supremely situated for one-ofa-kind gatherings. A dramatic rooftop area on the upper deck crowns the house with exceptional open space with seating beside a wood-burning brick fireplace.
The farm’s multiple outbuildings, sprinkled throughout the property, present unique privacy and recreation opportunities for staff or guests. They include a two-bedroom staff house, a three-bedroom guest house, and a heated barn featuring a golf simulator.
The property also features an outdoor pool and a Har-Tru tennis court surrounded by greenery and a group of Alpacas and Llamas that roam within a gated area—the estate’s most colorful residents. Rockledge Farm is located near Bedford’s best restaurants, lush parks, and highly rated schools. The location feels like a distant getaway, but is conveniently 45 minutes from New York City. u
Rockledge Farm, currently for sale, is located at 617 Croton Lake Road in Bedford, New York. Price upon request. For more information, contact Brian Milton at 914.469.9889 or brian.milton@compass.com.
