New York Estate Larger Than MetLife Complex Is For Sale

When I first saw the listing for the home at 45 Hitchcock Lane in Millbrook what caught my eye was the beautiful home with its spires and brick fireplaces. Then when I saw it comes with almost twice as much property as the Monhonk Mountain House I had to learn more.

The Mohonk Mountain House sits on 1325 but the Famed Hitchcock estate sits on 2078 acres. You could fit three MetLife complexes with Giant Stadium on the estate. You could fit the Marist Campus which is 242 acres on it 8 times.

So once you get used to the size you then have to get excited about this home's storied past. This home was built in 1889 and has been in the hands of a single owner for the last 60 years. There were only two other owners between the first and the last. Originally assembled from five farms that all bordered each other this property has one more distinction.

Architectural Digest Featured the Hitchcock Estate in 2017

The Hitchcock was featured in Architectural Digest in 2017. The article takes you through the history of the property including the story of one of its most interesting occupants, Timothy Leary. The article states that Mr. Leary was invited to the estate by the Hitchcock siblings and that is when it became known for its Psychodelic period in the 1960s.

Since then this 10-bedroom home with 6 full baths that totals 14,706 sq ft inside has seen days of disrepair but has recently been refurbished. The property boasts a guest house, a bowling alley, stables, staff quarters, a library, a guest suite, an outdoor inground pool, a tennis court, a caretaker house, a pond, two large lakes, and a carriage house.
