THE STORY —
A VISION REALIZED OVER A LIFETIME
While the home was being built, the owners traveled the world—sourcing antiques mantels, chandeliers, stained glass, carved woodwork and architectural treasures. Each piece was chosen for a specific room and brought together to create something truly extraordinary

THE RESIDENCE —
Architecture with a sense of history.
Nearly every room reveals another layer—hand-carved woodwork, soaring windows, intricate stone, custom ironwork and architectural details rarely found in a home of this era. Despite its scale, Castle Lake Manor was designed for living as much as for making an impression.
—A Place To Gather—
The kitchen is where everyone seems to end up. Holidays belong in the Great Room. Conversation moves between the Parlor and Music Room. Downstairs, the English Pub and Billiard Room offer an entirely different kind of evening. Here, there is room for both the everyday and the extraordinary.
THE COLLECTION —
Collected, Not Decorated.
Castle Lake Manor was shaped by pieces discovered across the world—each chosen for a particular room, a particular purpose, and a place within the architecture.
THE LAND —
A World of Its Own.
Beyond the residence, 75.5 acres unfold into woodland, water, trails and open lawn. It is a landscape designed to be explored—and large enough to disappear into.
— THE SETTING —
— The Art of — Outdoor Living
A private retreat for long afternoons and unforgettable evenings. Surrounded by the landscape, the pool feels less like an amenity and more like a destination of its own.
“Our favorite view is in the evening from the upper patio—the pool, the lake, the pond, and the sunset.”
— The Owners of Castle Lake Manor
And Then Night Falls.
The water grows still. The landscape disappears into the darkness.
