Located within the historic gated enclave of Tuxedo Park, less than an hour from New York City, Chastellux stands as a remarkable example of early 20th-century American residential architecture. This grand estate spans 24,000 square feet and is set on a picturesque 8.2-acre lakefront site.
Built in 1930 for Mrs. Ruth Hill Beard, the mansion was designed by the renowned architectural firm McKim, Mead & White, with interiors by McMillen Inc., and landscaping by the legendary Olmsted Brothers. Together, these collaborators created a residence of extraordinary quality, scale, and refinement. The property includes 14 bedrooms and 11.5 bathrooms, each room exhibiting the craftsmanship and elegance characteristic of the era.
Tuxedo Park itself is steeped in history, surrounded by 70,000 acres of preserved parkland, from the Ramapo Mountains to the Hudson River. The estate’s private setting and architectural pedigree reflect the prestige of a time when America’s most prominent families commissioned homes of exceptional grandeur and taste.
