Newly priced. This outstanding 50-acre equestrian estate is surrounded by 3000 acres of protected conversation area and has served as an important local and national landmark throughout the years. A semicircular treelined driveway with beautifully crafted stone bridges over a creek serves as the gracious main entrance.

The two upper levels boast an array of bedrooms and guest quarters and an outstanding master bedroom suite complete with his and her dressing rooms and luxury baths. In addition to the multiple bedrooms is a private office with exquisite bay window views - a haven for contemplation and serenity.
