On The Market: Long Island, New York
March 1, 2007
LOCATION: Lloyd Neck, a community on Long Island, less than an hour’s commute
from Manhattan.
HISTORY: Built in 1987, the single-family home was designed
in a style influenced by British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens. Situated on 47.2
acres, the home overlooks Long Island Sound. The property is situated next to
what was once the Marshall Field estate, which has since been converted into a
natural sanctuary and state park. (Click images to enlarge); function voidFunc() { } voidFunc();)

STATS: The 22,000-square-foot estate
includes eight bedrooms with eight full baths and boasts a 48-foot-high ceiling
in the entryway, a commercial-grade kitchen, a library, a sunroom, a formal
dining room with a fitted-leather ceiling, and a great hall with water views and
an oak-paneled bar. Other amenities include a game room, a safe room and a spa
with a hot tub, cold-plunge pool, steam shower and sauna. The master bedroom
includes a two-story wardrobe, vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, a 120-degree view
of the Sound and a service kitchen. The property also holds a pool with a
gazebo, shower and hot tub, a tennis court, three greenhouses, a six-bedroom,
six-bathroom guesthouse and a separate staff house with 11 bedrooms and seven
bathrooms. Several gardens are located on the grounds, along with two helipads
and a dock that can accommodate an 80-foot yacht as well as a sailboat and
personal watercraft.
WHAT SETS IT APART: “It’s unusual to find beachfront
property this close to Manhattan,” says broker Peggy Moriarty. “On close to 50
acres of land, you have your own beach, dock, two helicopter pads, and a natural
sanctuary right next door. There’s nothing else out there quite like
it.”
