About This Home

As of October 2023

Poised on over fourteen majestic acres in the heart of Greenfield Hill, this spectacular family compound enjoys unmatched privacy, minutes from shopping and dining. The estate consists of a main house, fieldhouse, and custom arboretum. Being sold AS IS and already gutted/prepped for future renovation, the main house with an English conservatory offers the opportunity to restore this breathtaking home or build your dream. Resort amenities include a swimming pool surrounded by a brick terrace, pool cabana, lighted tennis court, and three-stall tennis barn. The award-winning fieldhouse consists of a main level sitting area, a replica of the Mohawk Mountain swing, a regulation racquetball court, gymnasium, changing rooms with two showers and a shared half bath, and a loft perfect for game nights. An arbor and beautiful lit fountain offer an enchanting place to relax in the shade and enjoy the serene landscape. The custom arboretum offers 1,515 square feet of heated, mixed-use space, with geothermal, solar power and a back-up propane tank. The arboretum is also home to an office, half bath and two-car garage. Lastly, a serene and sun-filled 3.13 acre interior lot surrounded by mature trees could be developed or left as open space, with the option for a private entrance off of Old Academy Road, to complete your country estate.
