Bucolic Equine Estate

Labors of love are the best kind. They’re ones that carry projects further than any fuel can. At just 60 miles northwest of NYC, this bucolic equine estate served as a private polo field, equestrian center and most importantly a place to live within a landscape that could just as easily be the fields of France or Orange County. When purchased in 2011 the current owners enlisted Jeff Wilkinson, R.A to complete an extensive historic renovation and restoration project that both reimagined and preserved the architectural integrity of this 1910 farmhouse. Most notably, hand-hewn beams were uncovered and the living room ceiling opened up to create a dramatic space that spans from front to back of the house and flows seamlessly to the outdoors through the French doors that lead to the bluestone patio, pool and rolling fields.
