Beauty in Bedford. Newly renovated and refreshed mini estate abutting hundreds of acres of preserve and steeped in history. Your opportunity awaits to uncover the past. With over 5.5 acres including: walls of stone that housed buildings of the past, rolling hills, a Historic main house (built in 1825), a pool house (built in 1982), a cottage house (built in 1982) and land abutting hundreds of acres of the Mianus River Gorge Preserve, much of the property has yet to be explored. Two massive Stonehenge rocks adorn driveway entrance of this estate. A gravel driveway forks into a long driveway leading to the main home and a smaller one leading to the cottage. The main home features 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and over 4000 sq ft of living space. Once part of a larger property along Long Ridge road and also served as the Wilkenloh Hotel in the early 1900s.
