Renowned architect Goodhue Livingston’s spectacular century-old, 10+-acre compound on Lake Agawam is now brilliantly restored to its original magnificence.

All the grace and splendor of the Hamptons’ Gilded Age endures in Old Trees, an historic treasure commandingly set on Lake Agawam, ensconced in a storybook setting of more than ten glorious acres with views to the Atlantic Ocean.  Rich in significance, this venerable estate was built in 1911 by prominent New York architect Goodhue Livingston as his family’s own private residence – a spectacular country retreat and a showplace for entertaining their distinguished guests, among them, dignitaries, royalty, and notable figures of New York society.  Now, nearly a century later, this Georgian jewel has been masterfully restored, maintaining its historic fabric while seamlessly interweaving state-of-the-art luxuries and comforts meeting today’s most discerning requirements. 

A long tree-canopied, gated drive winds through an emerald arboretum to the monumental manor house poised on velvet lawns cascading across more than 450 feet of beguiling lakefront.  Grandly scaled with over 15,000 square feet, the three-story residence is introduced by a central great hall, a pivotal space off of which the formal living areas flow.  French doors transition the interiors to a magnificent lakeside terrace – flanked by pillared pavilions – aside a pool house residing by the shimmering pool.  Enchanting gardens edge the Har-Tru tennis court.  The expansive south lawns can easily host a massive tent for hundreds of guests at an outdoor gala, while an enormous dance hall in the converted nineteenth-century barn presents another venue for memorable social festivities.  Charming “Tulip Cottage” offers a private guest house with its own pool, completing the sprawling lakefront compound.        

Capturing the romance of an earlier era, Old Trees stands peerless in its elegance, beauty, and extraordinary legacy.  One of the largest remaining village properties, this important landmark takes its place among the truly great estates of Long Island’s fabled East End.
