Barn Complex and Guest Lodge Bedford, New York

The design encompasses pastures, gardens, a guest lodge, a greenhouse, and barns housing exotic animals and birds as well as offices and vehicles. Set in the trees on a steep rock slope, the stone and timber guest lodge is both luxurious and rustic, drawing on the great Adirondack camps of the 19th century. In addition to a high balconied living room, the three story house has five bedrooms, a kitchen, dining, screening, and exercise rooms, and terraces with panoramic views of the estate and Croton Reservoir beyond.
