About This Home

Set on over 40 private, wooded acres, 936 Dove Island Road is an awe-inspiring retreat with magazine-worthy organic gardens, private pond, and property features seen in numerous publications over the years. The Main Residence began as an old farmhouse and now hovers around 10,000 sf, featuring an expansive primary suite with dual dressing rooms, sitting room with fireplace, walk-in shower overlooking the grounds, and a spiral staircase to private solarium. The airy two-story great room holds a massive stone fireplace, antique stained glass, and custom second story library that extends the room's length, surrounding the open kitchen with its beautiful Aga range. In addition, the home features a gallery + office wing with a transplanted 19th century Wall Street walnut-paneled boardroom, a long hall of museum-quality display cases, and attached greenhouse with koi pond. Additional buildings include the Iron Barn with climate controlled gallery + offices, drive-in storage, and 6 garage bays; the Staff Building with full kitchen, office, upstairs loft, diesel tank for utility equipment, and heated garage; the Utility Barn with over 1,100 sf for pallet storage, vehicles, and property maintenance; the Pool House with a heated gunite pool, full kitchen, and facilities; and finally the Lower Greenhouse for year-round cultivation + summer plant storage w/ drip irrigation system. All elements of the property are supported by a robust backup generator system.
