Property Description
Clark House, a legacy property with extraordinary provenance, was reimagined by design legends Delphine and Reed Krakoff, adding their imprimatur of spare modern elegance. Reminiscent of a French hunting lodge, the property was purchased by copper heiress Huguette Clark as a country house. The volume of the rooms, windows, and quality of light create a sense of serenity and openness. Stately yet modern, this is a house that can be lived in with comfort and ease. Off the dining room is a walled garden and custom pavilion for entertaining. The 52 acres were transformed with noted landscape architect Perry Guillot into a private park with a great lawn, woodland trails and streams. A new pool and tennis court were added. Twin cottages are gym & caretaker. This caliber of property is a rarity.
