Haut Bois: Long Island Estate Inspired by the Palace of Versailles
Built in 1916 by Beaux Arts architect Ogden Codman Jr, the palatial property drew design inspiration from the Louis XIV Hunting Lodge, now known as the Palace of Versailles.
The 7 bedroom residence has been beautifully renovated, while maintaining the period French aesthetic, seen in the stone fireplaces, hand painted wallpaper, and crystal light fixtures.
Luxury amenities include a gourmet kitchen with La Cornue range, a home gym and temperature-controlled wine cellar.
Nestled in 8 acres of grounds, Haut Bois is surrounded by formal gardens designed by French landscape architect Jacques Gréber, featuring a step-down courtyard and fountains, and an irrigated vegetable garden.
Outdoor lifestyle amenities include a putting green, gated tennis court, outdoor fireplace and grill area, as well as a swimming pool and pool house.
Haut Bois is located in Brookville, NY, tucked away on Long Island’s coveted Gold Coast, just 25 miles from Manhattan.
