Hitchcock Estate In Millbrook Listed For Record $65m With Sotheby’s International Realty

History buffs and those seeking a one-of-a-kind property take note: a sprawling estate in Millbrook, New York, steeped in history and encompassing a staggering 2,078 acres, has just been listed for a record-breaking $65 million with Sotheby's International Realty.

An enchanting legacy

The property boasts an intact 2,078 acres, meticulously assembled from five area farms in 1889 by the first owner. Nestled in the heart of Millbrook, it has remained remarkably undeveloped throughout the years, cloaked in an air of mystery and sparking endless curiosity. For over a century, the estate has served as a summer sanctuary, a mere 1.5-hour drive from the bustling metropolis of New York City. Peacefully nestled amidst sprawling lawns and scenic landscapes, it provided the perfect escape for weekend getaways and idyllic summer retreats.

Tranquillity through the decades

The estate has seen only two owners succeed the first in its illustrious 60-year history. This remarkable consistency in ownership underscores the property's unique value and presents a rare opportunity for the discerning buyer. Maintained with meticulous care over the years, the estate currently functions as a self-sustaining farm, with extensive hayfields providing sustenance for the on-site cattle farm. The historic stone farm buildings, thoughtfully updated over time, stand as testaments to the estate's rich heritage, their very stones whispering tales of a bygone era.

A haven of grandeur

The property encompasses two grand residences: the Mansion and the Bungalow, the latter designed by the renowned architect Addison Mizner. Beyond these two architectural gems, the estate boasts a collection of captivating structures, including a carriage house, a gatehouse, a functioning bowling alley, a charming bunkhouse/guest cottage, a quaint farmhouse, a dedicated barn office, a historic stone house, and a collection of substantial stone barns. A captivating lake completes the picture, adding a touch of serenity to this already enchanting landscape.

Sotheby's International Realty has entrusted with the marketing and sale of this extraordinary property. Those seeking a piece of history, a breathtaking retreat, or an unparalleled opportunity to own a vast and versatile estate, are sure to find themselves captivated by the Hitchcock Estate.
