Vanderbilts. Rockefellers. Gatsby. These are the monumental names and families—real and fictional—that solidified the Gold Coast of Long Island's North Shore in American history. The lavish Gilded Age estates, legendary architects, and grand gardens they left behind are still very much standing, just an hour from Manhattan. Here are two properties from our portfolio that are part of that story.
Swan Manor, 1 Swan Place, Saint James, New York | Sold for $5M
Designed by Stanford White in 1917 and set on nine secluded acres on Long Island's North Shore, Swan Manor is one of the Gold Coast's great estates. Over 22,000 square feet across three distinct residences, 14 bedrooms, a resort-style indoor Gunite pool pavilion with spa and fitness centre, a wine cellar and tasting room, cascading stone waterfall, lush botanical gardens, and a professional-grade tennis court with pickleball. Meticulous historic restoration meets every modern convenience, with panoramic Long Island Sound views.
Laurel Hill, 222 Cleft Road, Mill Neck, Gold Coast, New York | Sold · Previously listed at $14.995M
One of Long Island's rarest remaining Gold Coast legacy estates, and once owned by the Rockefellers. Historic Laurel Hill sits on 57 acres of private woods overlooking Oyster Bay, just one hour from Manhattan, with two miles of walking trails winding through lush gardens and groves of towering trees surrounding a magnificent Tudor mansion at the estate's heart. Large Palladian windows, French doors, ornate wainscotting, a sunken living salon, and an exceptionally large formal dining room define the interior. A guest cottage, carriage house, and a mid-century modern pool house beside an oversized Gunite pool complete the compound. One of the last true Gold Coast legacy estates.
