As stated elsewhere, I am currently visiting in Oyster Bay Cove and happened to ask people in the R/E biz about this and Fort Hill...(see Fort Hill entry for that info)...
This estate is said to be in need of razing...at least the main house...apparently, despite nice pictures, it isn't up-to-date or especially well maintained...
Still, I think it is nice...too bad I won't have time to stop by the two and see what's what...(sigh!)
Of course, condition doesn't always deter someone who "falls" for a house/farm/estate etc...they can see the potential and hopefully have the bucks and taste to make it what it was...(one can only hope)
