BEYOND BOSTON | Pleasanton, CA 🌿✨
$7,499,000 | 5 bed | 5 full + 3 half bath

From Boston’s most thoughtfully designed homes to California’s extraordinary private estates, our network connects you to properties where every detail is designed around the way you actually live.

Set on a premier elevated homesite with sweeping valley and hillside views, this approximately 8,372 sq. ft. custom estate takes intentional living to an entirely different level. Five private bedroom suites, an elevator, radiant heated floors, motorized shades, and centralized lighting controls create a home where luxury feels effortless, while the primary retreat offers a sitting room with dual-sided fireplace, private balcony, steam shower, and jetted soaking tub.

But the real showstopper is the attached 8,477 sq. ft. recreation pavilion—originally designed around a full-size indoor tennis court and now offering space for basketball, pickleball, badminton, volleyball, fitness, entertaining, and more. The estate continues outdoors with a solar-heated pool, outdoor kitchen, covered loggia, bocce area, walking paths, dog run, and expansive recreation lawns.

With a private theater, sauna, beauty studio, putting green, six-car garage capacity, owned solar, and countless spaces designed to support both everyday life and unforgettable gatherings, this is far more than a residence—it’s a lifestyle built without compromise.

BEYOND BOSTON | Garrison, NY 🌲✨
$3,100,000 | 3 bed | 3 full + 1 half bath

From Boston’s historic homes to the Hudson Valley’s most architecturally significant retreats, our network connects you to properties where design and landscape become one.

Set on 28 private acres in the Hudson Highlands, this extraordinary Mid-Century Modern estate was designed in 1961 by architect Reuben Bowden with a philosophy of building with the land rather than upon it. Inspired by the work of Russel Wright at nearby Manitoga, the home was thoughtfully positioned after its original owners spent months observing the property’s sun, seasons, water, and landscape. The result is a remarkable residence of stone, timber, glass, and sculptural forms that feels naturally woven into its surroundings.

Inside, original cork floors, curved board-and-batten walls, expansive windows, custom built-ins, and dramatic stone fireplaces preserve the home’s architectural character, while a thoughtfully redesigned kitchen and retractable walls of glass create an effortless connection to the outdoors. Beyond the residence, a spring-fed pond and brook lead to a secluded 36’ x 68’ pool, pool house inspired by an oriental tea house, and separate studio—all surrounded by protected woodland and parkland.

Just minutes from Garrison, Cold Spring, and Metro-North, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history where privacy, nature, and thoughtful design exist in perfect harmony.
