A Legacy Estate Where Natural Beauty And Serenity Meet Sophisticated Living

Discover an extraordinary private retreat where nature's magic meets world-class refinement. Once owned by mineral magnate Ferdinand Julius Fohs and later donated to establish a camp for underprivileged NYC children, this 100-acre sanctuary with 15-acre private lake and over 23,000 sq ft of living space has been extensively renovated to create today's remarkable haven.

This estate features multiple residences designed for multi-generational living while preserving privacy—from the grand 8,500 sq ft Georgian Manor to charming guest houses and authentic lakeside lodges.

The Crown Jewel Manor — In addition to the spectacular and unrivaled outdoor property that could serve as your own National Park, the stately all-brick Georgian commands breathtaking lake views from nearly every room. Its heart is a nearly 1,000-square-foot kitchen featuring two Sub-Zero refrigerators, six-burner AGA range, four additional wall ovens, and a stunning multi-tiered marble island beneath soaring 20-foot ceilings and a wall of glass overlooking the water—designed for both everyday luxury and spectacular entertaining. Among the manor’s other exceptional qualities include, 5 ensuite bedrooms, soaring ceilings, hardwood floors throughout, custom built living room and library with richly appointed wood surround, 2 elevators, 3 wood burning fireplaces and 12 garages encircling the premises.

Recreation & Entertainment — Three lodges accent the property and three rustic cabins dot the lakefront while recreational amenities rival luxury resorts: private lake with dock for boating and fishing, basketball court, soccer field, putting green, bocce, shuffleboard, and horseshoe pit. The 5,000-square-foot catering and recreational facility with panoramic lake views serves as your private dining hall and recreational center for grand gatherings, family reunions, and business events.

The resort-style pool complex features a 25×55 heated gunite pool with elevated spa, cascading waterfalls, and programmable lighting—your private aquatic playground. The 3,000-square-foot screened pavilion overlooking the lake creates an entertainment venue surpassing any private club.

Located just 90 minutes from Manhattan yet worlds away from urban pressures, this estate offers sophisticated buyers not just a home, but a lifestyle investment and family legacy.
