Property Description
Evoking the era of Gatsby and San Simeon, the 1928 home of George La Branche was built in the style of a luxurious Scottish hunting lodge, welcoming The House of Windsor for their weekend retreat. It has been recorded, visitors of the home included, Babe Ruth, Walt Disney, Edna St Vincent Millay and many more. The 122 acre, 8000 sq ft. estate was built with the finest locally sourced materials. The interior and exterior finishes of this glorious property have been lovingly cared for over the past 92 years. Up the driveway, past one of two ponds, the home emerges and is breathtaking upon your first glance. When entering the home you realize you are somewhere special. Built during Prohibition, the Gun Room Salon hosts a hidden wet bar and actual guest signatures on the door frames. The graciously proportioned rooms are also intimate and cozy and suitable for major gatherings or an evening for two. Continue the history and legacy; make this your new splendid home.
