Westchester's 'Darlington Hall' Estate Hits The Market For $9.25M

NORTH SALEM, NY — If you dream about life on the "Darlington Hall" estate, on Hardscrabble Road in North Salem, described as "a true architectural masterpiece" replicating The Salutation by Sir Edward Lutyens in England, your chance is finally here, because it just hit the market for $9.25 million.

The listing, by Will Stuart of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, says the 10,700-sq.-ft., 10-bedroom, 11-bathroom house, set on 83 acres in the heart of Westchester's horse county, "is not merely a property; it is a rare and exceptional opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind grand estate on one of the largest single parcels available in Westchester County."

Once you travel down the "captivating half mile meandering drive through hayfields and woodlands," you will be greeted by the manor home sitting behind iron gates, "amid exquisite English gardens in a remarkable setting."

The property, built in 1995, features an indoor swimming pool with an underground tunnel, an 11-stall horse barn with grooms quarters, a jumping field, a fishing pond, "stunning" water features, orchards, a carriage house, and "unparalleled privacy," all while being just 55 miles from Manhattan, and one mile from Old Salem Farm, the international show jumping venue.

Once you enter the manor home, you will find yourself in a grand entry hall, with 22-foot ceilings, a double-wrought iron staircase, and antique limestone floors. According to the listing, "the intricate detailing and quality of craftsmanship is immediately apparent."

The living room and rear parlor each have a fireplace, herringbone wood floors, and natural light, with over 60 windows and doors looking out to the lily pond, the infinity-edge swimming pool, and "enchanting" fountains.

The "stunning" Boffi kitchen contains a double-sided gas fireplace, Miele appliances, and "chic" stainless steel countertops. An adjoining family room creates an open flow living space. The gilt-painted formal dining room "exudes opulence and sets the scene for grand entertaining," with a fireplace and butler's pantry.

Upstairs, there is a walnut-paneled library with a fireplace and a hand-painted ceiling, a primary suite with double bathrooms, and two additional en-suite guest rooms.

The large third floor has seven more bedrooms and bathrooms, each with their own theme.

The recently renovated lower level includes a "state-of-the-art" Bilotta kitchen, a "stylish" bar, a gym, a home theater, a game room, a bathroom, and a tunnel leading to the orangerie indoor pool and spa.

The property also includes a carriage house with two additional apartments, in addition to a four-bay garage.

Estimated annual taxes are $137,718, and the home is zoned to the North Salem School District.
