Spanning 372± acres, the estate includes pastures, a Gil Schafer-designed lodge, a main house, guest cottages, and restored historic buildings by top designers including Suzanne Kasler and Amy Morris. The 2024-built Eldon Lodge, inspired by Blackberry Farm, features reclaimed timber and Roxbury granite, a grand hall, wine room, and catering kitchen. The Eldon Office serves as a refined gentleman’s retreat with curated interiors and a sportsman’s wing. The renovated main house offers 4 bedrooms, a bunkhouse sleeping 12, and additional cottages. Amenities include barns, riding ring, fishing ponds, trails, and apiaries.With deep historic ties, luxury design, and unmatched outdoor recreation, Eldon is a rare turnkey sporting estate.
