A grand estate in the heart of Long Island’s Gold Coast has recently sold for $21 million. Completed in 1935, “Erchless” is an iconic 92-acre retreat that blends classic elegance with luxurious amenities.
The 15-bedroom, 12-bathroom Georgian-style mansion is a testament to refined design, where every corner of the property speaks of meticulous care. The home’s original finishes and details, including intricate moldings, marble baths and nine fireplaces, are perfectly preserved. Central air conditioning and an elevator complement the estate’s modern comforts, making it both a masterpiece of historical design and a showcase of 21st-century convenience.
The estate’s grandeur extends beyond the mansion’s walls. The property boasts a wealth of outdoor features designed for both relaxation and recreation. A sparkling heated swimming pool sits near two pagoda-style cabanas, offering a serene spot to unwind. Nearby, a tennis court and expansive greenhouses and potting sheds provide plenty of options for outdoor pursuits. The estate also includes a horse stable, turnout paddock and numerous barns, making it ideal for equestrian enthusiasts.
The grounds are lushly landscaped, with garden rooms layered in flowering plantings, offering beauty year-round. Notably, the estate is home to an award-winning rhododendron garden, regarded as the finest of its kind in the Northeast United States.
In addition to the main residence, the estate includes a superintendent’s house, a chauffeur’s house and a four-car garage, ensuring ample space for both staff and guests. The property also has a private, gated entrance, adding to its seclusion and security.
The mansion itself has been designed to ensure both intimate family living and grand entertaining. Highlights include two primary en-suite bedrooms, a formal dining room with a fireplace, a paneled library with a fireplace, and a sunroom with panoramic views. The first-floor guest quarters and butler’s pantry add to the estate’s effortless flow, while a grand foyer sets the tone for the entire home. The basement is partially finished, providing additional space and the attic offers even more possibilities.
Situated at 75 Post Rd. in Old Westbury, the estate is located in one of the most coveted areas of the Gold Coast. The mansion offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience, being near local shops and easily accessible to New York City.
“Erchless” represents the epitome of luxury living. Whether for quiet family moments, hosting grand gatherings or enjoying the tranquility of nature, this estate provides an exceptional lifestyle. Its sale for $21 million underscores the enduring appeal of historic homes, particularly those with such expansive grounds and unparalleled beauty.
The property was sold in early December 2024, marking the end of an era for this historic gem but offering a new owner the chance to create their legacy within its walls.
