n the rolling hills of Rockland County, New York, a piece of Hollywood history is up for grabs. The Mountain View Farmhouse, once part of Adolph Zukor's sprawling estate, has been listed for $1.97 million. This six-bedroom, 4½-bathroom home was built in the 1930s and expanded in 1944, offering a tranquil retreat just 30 minutes from Manhattan.

    As a co-founder and long-time president of Paramount Pictures, Zukor revolutionized the film industry with his "vertically integrated" system, where studios owned talent, distribution networks, and theaters. His legacy extends beyond the silver screen, however, as this farmhouse has hosted its fair share of A-list guests, including Mick Jagger and composer Kurt Weill.

    The 4,794-square-foot residence boasts beamed ceilings, exposed brick walls, and leaded glass windows, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The open chef's kitchen leads to a large slate patio, perfect for al fresco dining or entertaining. With six bedrooms, including a main suite on the first floor and additional rooms on the second level, there's plenty of space for family and friends.

    Outside, the property comes alive with its own pond, tennis court, basketball court, and lush lawns featuring magnolias, dogwood, and weeping beech trees. The sellers, who purchased the home in 2017 for $944,000 and invested $800,000 in renovations, have described it as a "peaceful country escape" that's perfect for those seeking a tranquil retreat from city life.

    Located at 374 South Mountain Road in New City, NY, this unique property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Hollywood history. With its proximity to High Tor State Park and stunning views of the New York City skyline, it's an ideal haven for nature lovers and film enthusiasts alike.
