The beautiful Lisburne Grange is on 16 acres in Garrison, New York. Railroad magnate Samuel Sloan built this splendid three-story mansion in 1862 with views of the Hudson River and historic West Point. The property includes a terraced garden, three-story carriage house, reflecting pool, wrought iron tea house and a formal pool inspired by the dragon fountain at the Villa d'Este outside Rome. The 13,000 sq.ft main house has nine bedrooms with fireplaces, high ceilings and large windows. A ballroom with chestnut floors opens to a balustraded terrace on three sides and the formal dining room has a coffered ceiling and French doors leading to the garden. Even more delicious, a hall with an original mural leads to a wood paneled library with a secret study. This elegant home is listed at $6.85 million.
