Welcome to 1500 Long Lake
A Timeless Chateau on Island Lake
This extraordinary estate blends rich history with impeccable modern renovation on over 3 acres with 297 feet of private lake frontage.
A Residence of Distinction, Reimagined for Today
Originally constructed in 1938 by the renowned firm behind New York's Cathedral of St. John the Divine, 1500 Long Lake is a residence like no other—steeped in history and exquisitely redefined for modern luxury. Designed in the Traditional French Chateau style, this 10,000+ square foot lakefront estate sits on over 3 acres with nearly 300 feet of private frontage on Island Lake.
Once home to C.E. Wilson, U.S. Secretary of Defense and President of General Motors, this estate has undergone a complete, no-expense-spared transformation under the vision of Timothy Corrigan, one of the world’s most acclaimed interior designers. The result is a truly unique oasis that honors its storied past while offering unmatched elegance and comfort.
Historic Elegance Meets Unrivaled Craftsmanship
Every detail at 1500 Long Lake has been thoughtfully curated. From 18th and 19th-century antiques sourced from France and London to the custom Mathieu chandeliers, Scalamandré drapery, and seven bespoke fireplaces, the interiors are a celebration of classic luxury.
A hand-painted Gracie mural in the foyer, Iksel wallpaper, and custom Chanel fabric pieces add rich texture and personality. The newly renovated chef’s kitchen features marble and quartz countertops, a La Cornue stove, and premium Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances—perfectly blending form and function.
Additional highlights include 7 bedrooms, 9.2 bathrooms, a nanny suite, dual libraries, and a refinished lower level with a full kitchen, media room, and gym. Outdoors, tiered bluestone patios offer stunning views of Island Lake, while a new private drive, lined by canopy trees, creates a grand sense of arrival.
