REAL ESTATE LISTINGS

Discover The Manor House, an 1898 Gilded Age estate built for Walter Law that blends Hudson Valley heritage, Olmsted-designed grounds, and a cinematic past.

Step into a living archive of the Hudson Valley. Built in 1898 for Walter Law—the visionary founder of Briarcliff Manor—The Manor House at 139 Scarborough Road is far more than an estate; it is a profound chapter of American history.

Nurtured by landscape designs from the Olmsted Brothers and once rubbing shoulders with neighbors like the Rockefellers and Astors, this sprawling 15,530-square-foot sanctuary whispers stories of a bygone era. Imagine strolling past remnants of historic waterfalls and greenhouses, or tracing your fingers along rich wood paneling imported from an English church. From its days as a grand Gilded Age residence to hosting legendary 1930s boxing matches, the property pulses with cinematic provenance.

Spanning 9.3 private acres, this grand dame awaits a visionary curator ready to breathe new life into its magnificent 14 bedrooms and storied halls. It’s an invitation to steward a true architectural legacy.
