61 Evarts Hill #41

Set upon a private rise within the Hudson Highlands, Evarts Hill is a restored 1929 French Normandy style estate distinguished by its provenance, craftsmanship, and natural and formal landscapes. Encompassing 53.65 acres and bordered by conserved lands of the Hudson Highlands Land Trust, the property offers exceptional privacy and an unspoiled natural setting just 50 miles from New York City. The setting preserves the integrity of one of Garrison's last original country estates. The estate was held by a single family for generations before its recent renewal. The main residence, a stone-and-stucco chateau with a slate roof, draws inspiration from rural Normandy and the Loire Valley. Designed with restraint and classic proportions, it combines formal architecture with a sense of intimacy, and ease suited to its surroundings. A three-story rotunda anchors the interior and introduces a classic curved staircase that rises through the center of the home. The floor plan unfolds in a balanced sequence of rooms. Grand entertaining spaces are complemented by more intimate private rooms. Approximately 6,200 square feet, which includes six bedrooms/five baths, and one half bath. Original features—deep-set windows, sleeping porches, and period millwork—remain intact, supported by a full restoration completed in 2018. Modern systems include radiant heating, central climate control, fiber-optic connectivity, and discreet security integration. The estate comprises a series of interconnected structures and landscapes. A converted carriage house of approximately 4,000 square feet serves as a guest residence, offering five bedrooms/bathrooms, a garage, and an artist’s studio marked by a distinctive tower element. Outdoor areas include a gunite pool surrounded by stone terraces, established gardens, a parterred rose garden, and an open lawn. A separate Billiards Lodge with a large stone fireplace offers a private retreat. Evarts Hill represents a rare continuity of architecture, land, and history. It is an early-20th-century Hudson Highlands estate reimagined for modern living, set amid lasting beauty and privacy.
