“Haut Bois,” an opulent, French chateau-inspired estate located in Brookville, New York, has just hit the local Long Island real estate market for nearly $15 million, according to a new listing posted by Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty.
Situated at 1985-4 Cedar Swamp Road, Haut Bois - with an asking price of $14,900,000 - is an elegant brick and stucco French Chateau that draws its design inspiration from the Louis XIV Hunting Lodge, now known as the Palace at Versailles in France, and features seven bedrooms, seven full baths, and two half-baths.
Originally built by Ogden Codman Jr. in 1916 and later restored in the late 1900's and again in 2023, the one-of-a-kind estate is located on an eight-acre plot of land at the end of a private road featuring many lush amenities, according to the listing.
"The original landscape was designed by Jacques Greber and includes a beautiful step-down courtyard, irrigated vegetable garden, gated tennis court, in-ground pool with pool house, chipping/putting green, and an outdoor fireplace and grill area," the listing says. "Flourishing with ivy and grandeur, and tucked away on Long Island's Gold Coast - 'Haut Bois' is one of the last remaining architectural fortunes of its time."
The home offers a private tandem garage and an in-ground pool in the backyard. The interior is no less impressive, with cathedral ceilings, an elevator, sauna, walk-in closets, wet bar, marble counters, central vacuum, speakers, a Whole House Entertainment System, and whirlpool tub.
