About the Home
Clark House, a legacy property with extraordinary provenance, was re-imagined by design legends Delphine and Reed Krakoff, adding their imprimatur of spare modern elegance. Reminiscent of a French hunting lodge and built like a fortress from steel and concrete in 1937, the property was purchased as a country residence by copper heiress Huguette Clark, and remained unoccupied and untouched until a 2014 transformation. The volume of the rooms, soaring ceilings, proportion of the windows and quality of light create a sense of serenity and openness. Stately yet modern, this is a house that can be lived in with comfort and ease. Adjacent to the dining room gallery is a walled garden with a custom pavilion for entertaining. The 52 acres were transformed in collaboration with noted landscape architect Perry Guillot into a private park with a dramatic meandering approach, a great lawn, and woodland trails amongst streams and waterfalls. A 60 x 22 pool and tennis court were also added. At the discrete entrance to the property are twin cottages; a caretaker residence and a gym. Privacy and proximity to NYC and airports along with this caliber of property make this a world class offering and a rarity by any standards.
