About this home

This one-of-a-kind 5 bedroom, 5 full bathroom rustic California inspired residence on one of the toniest roads in Pound Ridge sits on 6.5 private acres, complete with a pool, tennis court and treehouse. Situated in a resort like setting, the home's exquisite indoor-outdoor flow and abundant natural materials, you'll feel worlds away, but is just 3 minutes from town and an hour from NYC. Once owned by Ted Sorenson, JFK's speechwriter, the unique estate is ideal as a year-round home, weekend retreat or secluded hideaway with radiantly heated Belgian block and chestnut floors, stone columns (the stone of which was excavated from the site), tongue-in-groove cedar walls, soaring beamed ceilings, 22 skylights and custom windows. Custom stair railings designed by renowned rustic artist, Daniel Mack. Enjoy lavish entertaining in impressive living spaces with floor-to-ceiling fireplace and windows. The rustic dining room seats 16, the masterful kitchen with original copper bar counter, accommodates gatherings of any size. Upper-level primary suite, main-floor two-bedroom suite, home gym, media room, sauna and office with custom desk made of one solid piece of hundreds of years old Baobab tree. The lower level en suite bunk room provides ample accommodations, with private entrance. Resort-like grounds and a bucolic location make this an exceptional country estate. Custom, high level properties like this don't come up very often.
