This property is listed for $45,000,000 by Jason Friedman and Rudi Friedman of Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty

Swan Landing is a grand family home set on 5.3 pristine acres on the north shore of Long Island. The timeless stone and shingle estate was custom-built by the award-winning firm, Shope Reno Wharton Associates and has been featured in Architectural Digest and House & Garden.

The 23,000 square foot home has 13 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms, with elegant luxurious details throughout, from the intricate millwork, the wainscotting, to the fabric and padded walls throughout the entire home. The great stair hall at the entrance is the grounding point of the home, which opens to the formal living area that showcases a panoramic view of Manhasset Bay from a curved wall of windows. 

The formal dining room has been finished with imported antiques and custom molding to evoke a classic aesthetic. French doors open out to a large stone patio overlooking the backyard and waterfront. The kitchen is equipped for the most exacting of Chefs, with a butlers pantry and a two-level centre island with hanging pot rack. The adjacent breakfast room was designed to be an indoor/outdoor space with large windows and French doors. 

The basement is set up for entertaining with a spacious gaming lounge, a state of the art wine cellar, and an 40 ft indoor pool flanked with French doors that open up to the stone patio, where you find the outdoor pool adjacent to it, as well as a roofed pavilion for entertaining.

The gardens were designed by renowned Landscape Architect Peter Cummin, whose design is focused on ensuring ‘year round’ green. There is a lily pond and English garden, a greenhouse, and a waterfront Har-Tru tennis court. On the waterfront, white sand imported from Long Island’s East End provides a flat beach. There is also a private deep-water dock, and a two-bedroom guest cottage.
