Hillside Retreat

Situated on a sloping hilltop one hour north of Manhattan, this weekend retreat boasts 27+ acres of recreation, adventure and relaxation opportunities, where the site and surrounding environment take center stage. What began almost 18 years ago with an informal meeting to discuss a potential tennis court, has evolved into one of those rare Landscape Architect/Client model relationships.


Year after year the Master Plan evolved; transforming a traditional country estate into a recreational park-like property which hosts annual parties of up to 600 guests. The guests enjoying almost every conceivable sport facility: from pool and tennis court to a regulation-size basketball court, sand volleyball, badminton, bocce, amphitheater, exercise/hiking trails, a putting green and an elevated pool/game area pavilion with a rooftop sunbathing terrace.
