olling Stone Farm, a sprawling Hudson Valley estate built in the 1930s by child psychiatrist Dr. David M. Levy and his wife Adele Rosenwald, is now on the market for the first time in over twenty years. The $6 million listing sits an hour from Manhattan on more than 106 acres of rolling land, making it the largest property currently for sale in Westchester County. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices’ Will Stuart describes it as a “once‑in‑a‑lifetime” opportunity to own a Hudson River retreat with no comparable comps.
The main house, a European‑style stone and wood‑shingle residence, features wood‑paneled walls, wide‑plank floors, leaded glass windows, and a slate mudroom. Inside, built‑in bookcases, a fireplace, and a marble‑topped primary suite with vaulted ceilings and a walk‑in closet create a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. A guest annex attached to a four‑car garage adds two more bedrooms, while a separate cottage on the property offers additional guest space.
Equestrian amenities once made the estate a bustling horse farm, boasting an 1800s two‑story barn, a two‑bedroom grooms’ apartment, and an outdoor riding arena that housed over 20 horses. Today, the grounds also feature a 45‑foot pool, a tennis court, and a professionally landscaped English garden surrounded by ancient trees. The property’s panoramic Hudson River views and lush gardens give it a fairy‑tale charm.
Dr. Levy, a pioneer in child psychiatry who introduced the Rorschach test to the U.S. and coined “sibling rivalry,” built an octagonal stone library that remains on the premises. His wife, the philanthropic daughter of Sears founder Julius Rosenwald, raised $170 million for Holocaust survivors in 1947. Their home in Croton‑on‑Hudson—a village known for its parks and the New Croton Dam that supplies New York City with clean water—was a testament to their legacy.
The estate last sold for $2.25 million in 2000, with a 2004 family buy‑out for $1.35 million. After 25 years of ownership, the property is now available for a new owner to create their own Hudson Valley story.
