HOMES WITH NOTABLE OWNERS

DAVID ROCKEFELLER’S ELEGANT NEW YORK ESTATE This magnificent estate was home to renowned business tycoon and philanthropist David Rockefeller. As the last surviving grandchild of Standard Oil founder John D. Rockefeller and former head of Chase Manhattan, David Rockefeller lived in the home until his death in 2016. Situated in Pocantico Hills in Westchester, this traditional property is rich in history and grandeur. Originally designed by architect Mott Schmidt in 1938 for Abby Rockefeller Milton (David’s sister), and purchased by David Rockefeller and his wife in 1946, the residence sits on 75 acres with views of the Hudson Bay. Timeless elegance can be found throughout the 12-bedroom home. The estate also hosts three greenhouses with gardens and orchards, a carriage house and barn, a round pool and a playhouse for all ages.
