While it may not have Fifth Avenue or Avenue des Champs-Élysées fame, Garrison, New York’s Old Albany Post Road is one of the country’s oldest roads still in use today, according to the National Historic Register. Currently, an impressive 110-acre estate is for sale on the notable stretch and its charm doesn’t end at its address.
The compound, known as La Formentera, boasts five separate structures—the main house, a studio/guest house with a three-car garage, a circa-1800s caretaker’s cottage with a detached two-car garage, and a stone pool house pavilion. Over the past 40 years, the current owner has reimagined the Japanese-inspired modernist main residence. With seven bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and one half-bath, there is plenty of room for overnight visitors yearning for time at the nature-centric retreat.
Private, enchanting, and rambling, it’s no wonder La Formentera has been featured in various magazines and is the subject of a recent book. The woodland listing has its own lake and waterfall, gardens, sculptures, granite pathways, and retaining walls to round out the outdoor scene. A wrap-around deck and outdoor terrace allow for soaking up the views of the Hudson Highlands, while the 60-foot swimming pool and an outdoor fireplace are ideal for summertime soirées in the country.
For those interested in something historic and secluded, Richard Balzano, John Oliveira, Mary Jean Staudohar, and Barry Brown of Douglas Elliman share the $5.95 million listing.
