Property Description
The home boasts ancient hand-hewn beams and breathtaking old boulders/stones, that make up some of the interior and exterior walls of the home and property. The main house features 4 fireplaces. Mantels include 19th century wooden design and a c. Louis XV style French limestone mantel. The interior boasts tall ceilings in the living room with wide white oak floor boards, tray ceiling, and French doors that lead out to the garden.
The layout of the MAIN home includes 7–8 rooms, 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The guest house and outbuildings give an estate like feeling the minute one drives through the electronic gate. The property is zoned as a legal two-family, offering versatility for guests, a creative studio, or rental income. It features a fireplace in the living room, full kitchen, 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a walk-out lower-level den. There's also an oversized garage, and additional outbuildings include an old brick potting shed, a large garden shed, chicken coop and artisan well that continually flows. The 5+ acre parcel is a private arboretum of flowering gardens, ancient stone walls, and rolling fields. A highlight of the property is the rebuilt, arch-supported stone bridge spanning the river, which flows directly through the property. The South Mountain Road artist community is surrounded by the legacy of neighbors like playwright Maxwell Anderson, artist/architect/potter, Henry Varnum Poor, sculptor John Mowbray-Clark and painter Arthur B Davies, who financed their properties (on S Mountain Rd) to fund the groundbreaking show at the Armory on Park Avenue in NYC, in 1913. Other influential residents through the years included Burgess Meredith, Adolf Zucker, head of Paramount Studios, John Huston, and many early writers for television shows, Mick Jagger & Jerry Hall, and others!
Brook House is surrounded by 8 acres of West Branch Conservation Land Trust, donated by Lotte Lenya, when she owned the property. It borders the 91-acre Davenport Preserve ensuring permanent privacy and a connection to nature. High Tor State Park is minutes away, offering hiking trails and panoramic views of the NYC skyline. Local amenities include a working farm at the west end of the road and the 18-hole Paramount Country Club golf course.
