the location Only 30 miles from Manhattan, is the 4.33 square mile Incorporated Village of Upper Brookville is nestled in the Town of Oyster Bay on the North Shore of Long Island. The area is rich in history, home to lovely estates and close to fine shopping and dining. Upper Brookville is a rural residential village whose Master Plan seeks to ‘continue the conservation and enhancement of the natural features which are the basic assets of the community’, and to ‘maintain the integrity of the natural plant and animal habitats that are the very essence of such an “open” development area by protecting the continuity of wooded areas and also the balance between such wooded areas, open fields and other cultivated parcels, and the man-made environment’.

The Oaks at Mill River is, by special arrangement and careful planning, in keeping with these ideals.

the property This wonderful property consists of 97.16 wooded acres in total of which 52.95 acres has been donated as a natural conservation preserve managed by the North Shore Land Alliance. The remaining 44.21 acre plan is comprised of roads and 13 approved subdivided estate lots that range in size from 2.23 acres to 4.38 acres.

Owners will be part of a homeowners association (HOA), and the conservation preserve is a passive park strictly for HOA members. Bordered by the acclaimed Planting Fields Arboretum, a New York State Historic Park, which encompasses approximately 416 acres on one side and the Mill River Club on another, this is an extraordinary property and setting where natural beauty has been carefully preserved to enjoy

the residence There is an existing residence designed by Bradley Delehanty and built in 1924 for Walter Johannes Damrosch, the composer, conductor and long-time director of the New York Symphony Orchestra occupying lot number 13 on the subdivision site plan.
