12 Bishop Park Road, Pound Ridge, NY, 10576

Generational Compound with all the luxuries & amenities one desires. Cascading pool with waterfall spa, guest house, pond, gardens and private property. Set down a quiet lane this resort-style estate is prime living-just one hour from NYC. A tranquil place to call home for the discerning buyer who can spot special custom home. A thoughtful and tasteful full renovation was completed in 2013. The neo-classical post-and-beam design is a unique dwelling with no comparison in its stature and setting. Situated high on a rock ledge with immaculate mature landscaping and ornate trees—from mighty Oaks and tall Hemlocks to Japanese Maples and Weeping Cherries—the property is a nature lover’s dream. The property features a 3,500 sq ft main house with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, flexibility for a 4th bedroom in main house, and a 1,500 SF 1-bedroom, 1-bath guest cottage with a separate driveway. Perfect for guests, staff living quarters, and/or rental income. The main house features grand stone piers surrounding a large outdoor wrap-around deck with metal railing and Ipe wood, as well as a spacious stone patio overlooking a 13-foot-deep heated pool with spillover spa, all surrounded by stone. The stone patio includes a built-in stainless steel BBQ, also encased in stone, with an outdoor Viking refrigerator and built-in outdoor speakers for the pool area and patio. Large stone steps lead to the patio and pool area, with a secluded wood walkway and level park-like lawn leading to the guest cottage. The pool area feels completely separate and extremely private, yet remains visible from the main house. A large spring-fed pond is great for canoeing and kayaking, and the property includes lake rights to Lake Kitchawan, just a short walk down the private road. The immaculate and well-maintained interior is anchored by a free-floating cantilevered staircase that serves all three floors of the home and becomes an artistic focal point of the house. It features a sunken living room with an open floor plan, plenty of natural light, a stone-faced wood-burning fireplace—French doors open to the wrap around porch and patio ideal for hosting guests and parties. The main bedroom feels like a separate guest suite, part of the 2013 addition. This spacious room boasts 20-foot ceilings, pond views, marble bath and a walk-in closet. A built-in music system is installed throughout most of the home, along with modern top-of-the-line appliances: Viking range, Miele dishwasher & Liebherr refrigerator. The kitchen features granite countertops and is flooded with natural light from three skylights and 20-foot ceilings. Wood floors run throughout the house, with a marble-tiled floor in the front entrance. The home is equipped with propane heat and central air, served by one 1,000-gallon buried tank with stone surround for the main house, and another 1,000-gallon buried tank for the guest cottage and pool/spa heat. Additional features include an outdoor shower, steam shower in the third-floor bathroom, fire pit, fenced dog pen, shed, gravel driveways, well with water treatment system, gas fireplace with stone surround on the first floor. A wonderful retreat not to be missed.
