Luxury Farm Ranch Retreat in Muttontown
Welcome to Green Acres! What a fantastic opportunity awaits you on this 2.4-acre property, with low taxes and a sparkling inground pool. Built in 1964, it offers secluded, parklike grounds that offer a summer resort-like paradise, with sweeping lawns and pristine woodland, plus the feel of a winter country ski retreat with two inviting fireplaces and a delightful new gourmet eat-in kitchen. Imagine cross-country skiing on the many trails of nearby Muttontown Preserve, then warming up with a cup of cocoa in front of your large stone fireplace. And in the summer, you can enjoy your own little country club with classicshaped inground pool, huge paving-stone patio, fire pit, large canvas-covered patio, pool house, shaded cooking and dining area, and, in the distance, a playground. Many of the original neighboring homes have been replaced by grand residences in an area that includes some of the great estates remaining from Long Island’s Golden Age. The home’s exterior offers a romantic picture of a charming farm ranch that includes a rocking-chair front porch and an attached side-entered garage, with circular drive off a tree-lined cul-de-sac lane.
