"It’s an amazing property, it’s one of the highest residential properties on Long Island so you can see all the way to the South Shore and beyond that on a clear day," she said.

The property is very private and surrounded by woods and all the iron work, from the front gate to the balcony and stairway railings were custom-made and hand-crafted for the house, she said.

The owner said he bought the property in 1996 when there was another house on it. He tore down that house and bought the adjacent lot to form the 2.3 acres that it is today and built the existing house in 2007.
Property taxes on the house in the Half Hollow Hills Central School District are $47,690.
