Westchester Countyaffluent suburban oasis

Take in some history and experience the unparalleled luxury of the Rockefeller dynasty while you visit Kykuit, the family’s palatial, six-story Beaux Arts mansion in Pocantico Hills with its panoramic views of the Hudson. Spectacular indoors and out, every piece of this estate is worth the time it takes to really explore. We suggest the three-hour Grand Tour, which gives you the best of the shorter tours plus entry to the second floor. The terraced gardens showcase 70 fountains and 90 sculptures by the likes of Noguchi, Calder, Picasso and more. And the house is jam-packed with antiques and fine art from top to bottom, as well as fun and completely over-the-top accommodations including a personal (and very private) golf course, home bowling alley, billiard room, gym and croquet field.
