A Sprawling Gilded Age Manor in the Hudson Valley Hits the Market for $29.5 Million

Set on 151 acres just 40 miles from Manhattan, this palatial French Provincial manor in the Hudson Valley is looking for a new owner. Listed for $29.5 million, Renamor, as it’s called, was built around a century ago in the gated community of Tuxedo Park. The village originated as exclusive retreat for Gilded Age elites including J.P. Morgan and William Waldorf Astor, who were drawn to region’s leisurely pace and lake-dotted landscape.

On the market for $29.5 million, Renamor is a circa-1920s estate in Orange County, New York.

The main house that anchors this property spans roughly 14,000 square feet and comes with 16 bedrooms. It’s been in the same family since the 1990s, per the Wall Street Journal, and they have overseen various upgrades and restorations throughout the years. Perhaps most significantly, the owners added a 2,000-kilowatt solar field to the grounds. Coupled with a geothermal system, the project allows for the entire estate—the largest ever listed in Tuxedo Park—to run without needing energy from the public power grid.

The 16-bedroom house comes with a wood-paneled library.

The interiors, meanwhile, feature preserved period details such as boiserie, crown moldings, ironwork, and beamed ceilings. Modern updates have been made to places like the kitchen, which now sports high-end appliances and an opened-up floor plan. A banquet-sized dining room, great hall, wine cellar, and erstwhile chapel are just a few of the uncommon amenities within the three-story residence.

The great hall features wood-beamed ceilings.

Outdoor perks include a pair of pools, a tennis court, manicured gardens, and a variety of entertaining areas. There’s also a boathouse directly on Tuxedo Lake, where fishing is allowed (permit required) and an annual regatta is held every October.

One of the 16 bedrooms comes with painted ceiling details.

Numerous outbuildings can also be found across the grounds. A five-car garage is located next to the villa and features matching architecture, while two separate guest houses offer a combined 8,200 square feet of living space. A remote, one-room log cabin was used by the owners for “date nights,” the late owner's daughter told the Journal. “You can feel like you’re a pioneer,” she said.

The grounds feature two pools and a tennis court, among other amenities.
