In the Bedford, NY area, where quite a few celebrity homes of the past and present can be found, an estate with a luscious green landscape, elegant main house, and extensive amenities is up for sale. Long owned by Shelli Breidenbach, a photographer and textile artist with a great love of animals, Skyland Farm is available as she seeks to simplify and find a home with a smaller footprint. Just as many empty nesters do.
Breidenbach’s discerning taste is certainly felt here with the photogenic elements the five-bedroom home has to offer. Barn beam ceilings and a fieldstone fireplace are the center of attention upon entering the light-filled great room that also holds an airy, white kitchen. What truly sets the estate apart though, are the endless amount of amenities and activities that dot the 25-acre grounds, promising something for every whim. With a resort-style pool and pool house, tennis court, gym house, a two-bedroom guest cottage, art studio and sports barn, the opportunities for leisure are endless. There’s even a five-stall equestrian barn consisting of a riding ring, paddocks, and a greenhouse. Breidenbach’s photography portfolio certainly showcases her fondness for horses.
“The property has really been loved and utilized by the entire family—although the animals certainly have the best views! My husband’s home office and my creative spaces have gotten equal use, and our son has thoroughly enjoyed his access to a lacrosse training barn. The property has given us the opportunity to raise our two-legged family as well as our four-legged family in a very loving and nurturing environment,” Breidenbach shares.
While Breidenbach and her family certainly made unforgettable memories here, the luxe Westchester County estate is calling out for new owners now. Angela Kessel with Houlihan Lawrence holds the listing.
