WESTCHESTER

LYNDHURST

Exploring Lyndhurst is a dive into two centuries of history. Architecture, landscape design, artistic creation—this neo-Gothic property built in the 1840s is a testament to a period beloved by Americans. Former hunting grounds transformed into agricultural estates, the lands of the Hudson Valley have undergone a spectacular evolution under the influence of the various families who settled there. By constructing magnificent mansions along the riverbanks, these wealthy landowners became patrons of unprecedented economic and cultural development. For its architecture, its landscapes, and the story it tells of an enchanted era, the Lyndhurst estate is a must-visit in the Hudson Valley.

MARKET POINT

Westchester is a heterogeneous and seasonal market. Boasting numerous renowned international schools, including FASNY (French American School of New York), it attracts French expatriates as well as American families seeking spacious living areas and high-quality public schools. Living in Westchester is a privilege, and properties are scarce. Due to high family demand, the local real estate activity primarily revolves around heritage transfers and school cycles. Spring is the recommended season to start a search. Among the most sought-after destinations in the coastal zone and bordering Connecticut are New Rochelle, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, and Rye. As a consequence of their popularity, these cities saw their prices rise by 5% in 2023. For the purchase of a single-family home, expect a median price of $1,500,000.

NOT-TO-BE-MISSED TABLES

BLUE HILL AT STONE BARNS

“I eat, therefore I am”

An innovative and committed concept, the Stone Barns Center is a non-profit research center focused on agriculture and food. Located just 50 kilometers north of New York City, on the fertile lands of the Hudson Valley, this complex consists of a farm and an educational center aimed at raising awareness about how people nourish themselves. This philosophy is exemplified at the table of Blue Hill, the on-site restaurant. There is no set menu, but rather a daily feast crafted from the best products from local farms and markets. It’s a delightful and meaningful experience in a chic countryside atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple.
