The Picket Fence

The Picket Fence: New York

Found on 11 acres of verdant green land, this home might seem like a typical American house with its New York-style architecture, but what it represents is rest, relaxation and just the right amount of seclusion.

It might only take an hour to get into the heart of New York, but the sheer size of this property ensures that it’s as peaceful as you make it. Take scenic strolls around the garden, thermos in hand, until you find the perfect spot for a picnic. From the porch, you can admire the rolling hills and on the balcony or porch swing, you can nurse a cup of coffee with a proper dose of contemplation.

The swimming pool with its cool, welcoming waters is perfect for bright sunshine days, but don’t be surprised if the little ones want to spend every waking minute taking the custom slide into the water.

The cinema room is ideal for family movie night but can also be turned into a home bar after the little ones go to bed. Ideally, you’d want to take your drinks around the firepit where you can admire the twinkling night sky and the fireflies competing to shine just as brightly.
