Majestic Stone Manor Bear Tracks Estate, an approx. 8,500 square-foot Majestic Stone Manor, built c.1910 for wealthy woolens merchant H.P. McKenney, was completely renovated in 2010 with a focus on energy efficiency and preservation of the home's original character. Once a 150-acre estate known as Valley Head Farms, the lush property is the ultimate artistic, musical or equestrian retreat. Tucked into the base of Ramapo Mountains, it is situated on an extremely secluded setting off the road on a 4.9 acre parcel which adjoins thousands of acres of parkland; Harriman State Park buttresses the rear yard and the Mahwah River runs through the eastern edge of the property. Formerly owned by Jay Beckenstein, co-founder of jazz fusion band Spyro Gyra, the great room of the home was previously Bear Track Music Studio, an award winning studio, where many notable artists such as: Dizzy Gillespie, 10,000 Maniacs, Bruce Hornsby and Chris Botti laid down tracks. The main living quarters, an inviting great room with 30-foot ceilings and an open chef's kitchen, boasts original barn beams, handsome fieldstone walls, and exquisite craftsman style light fixtures. French doors from the great room access the rear of the estate offering spectacular views of the unique stone silo, lush gardens framed by a stone archway, grotto style pool, and covered stone patio with inviting fire pit. With 2 master bedroom suites, 3 additional bedrooms, 5 full baths, 1 half bath, breakfast room, billiards room, 2 offices, sauna and 4 fireplaces, this exquisite home has it all for the most discerning buyer. Bear Tracks Estate is located just one mile from an equestrian center with hundreds of miles of hiking trails, and the home's detached 4-bay garage has one horse stall and a hay loft. Located 30 miles northwest of Manhattan, this sprawling estate has served as a peaceful sanctuary from the city for wealthy industry magnates, artists, executives, and famous musicians.
