17 bedrooms | 13 baths | 15,000 square feet
Built in 1860
Just your regular run-of-the-mill house here, featuring 43 rooms, 25.5 acres, 10 fireplaces, hand-carved pilasters, hand-painted plaster ceiling motifs, and Gothic spires. I guess it will do.
But seriously, this place is insane! And I’m just imagining the permanent trauma you would experience if you happened to drop acid in the “circus room.”
Here’s the realtor’s description.
“25.5-acre equestrian estate with a 43-room Elizabethan Style manor house, two caretaker homes, a carriage house with groom’s quarters, a yoga studio, a 12,000 sq. ft. stable, greenhouse and more. Situated on the crest of Quaker Hill, Elmwood Farm has stunning views and endless possibilities. The 3-story, 17-bedroom, 9-bath (plus 4 half-baths) mansion, with 10 fireplaces, sits at the end of a long gated drive, where a porte cochere provides gracious access to the sunset-facing veranda. The home features a wealth of exquisite details, including hand-carved pilasters, hand-painted plaster ceiling motifs and moldings, leaded glass windows, and variegated gables with carved vignette timber fascia and Gothic spires. The figured-oak grand staircase is enhanced by 30 newel posts with hand-carved whimsical animals. A separate wing on the second floor features hand-painted storybook murals.”
