Five Chimneys

Introducing one of New York’s most prestigious estates: a rare opportunity to own a historic piece of history elegantly nestled atop 14+ park-like acres in Purchase, New York. This illustrious turn-of-the-century residence was the setting for the blockbuster film 'Goodbye Columbus.' A quiet country manor that’s exceptionally private and secure, the estate is a stunning work of art, beautifully situated behind a gated entry at the end of a long, meandering driveway. The property boasts lush rolling lawns adorned with over 35 years of seasonal perennials in year-round bloom, a glorious fenced saltwater pool and patio, a five-hole putting green, pickleball, basketball, and tennis courts, a zen-like meditation garden, and a one-acre freshwater pond with koi and carp. Encircling the property is a half-mile jogging path with a grove of weeping willows, a spectacular oasis of hydrangeas, indigenous stone walls, a shady gazebo, and a charming life-size dollhouse. Inside, the home is breathtaking, with 11,792 sq ft of custom-crafted beauty featuring seven bedrooms, 6.3 bathrooms, and three offices spread over three sunlit floors. Every room offers blissful garden views due to the home’s elevated position, from the grand entrance hall to the dual living rooms, one of which opens to a postcard-perfect covered veranda. The refined formal dining room can seat a dinner party for 80. The exceptional kitchen includes two La Cornue ranges, a hammered copper and wood island, a sunlit breakfast area, and an adjacent family room, both opening to the patio. The primary suite exudes elegance with two luxurious bathrooms, two walk-in closets, and two private balconies. This home offers endless highlights, including a sprawling third-floor playroom, two saunas, a fabulous mudroom opening to the attached two-car garage and separate golf cart garage (with a Club Car included in the sale), and a picturesque detached four-car garage with a carport. A new realm of luxury awaits just a short drive to Rye’s vibrant town center, 15 minutes to Westchester County Airport, and only 35 minutes from NYC.
