Tuxedo Park estate Renamor heads to auction

Renamor, a 151-acre historic estate in Tuxedo Park, New York, will go to auction Sept. 16 through Concierge Auctions, with bidding closing Sept. 29 in Hong Kong. The sale puts one of the region’s largest private compounds in front of a global luxury buyer pool and could reset expectations for a rare off-market-style property near Manhattan.

Why it matters: - Renamor is one of the largest and most unusual estates in Tuxedo Park, giving the auction a rare trophy property close to Manhattan. - The sale could test demand for legacy estates with historic character, large acreage and off-grid infrastructure in a high-end global market. - The property’s auction format creates a defined sale date and broader buyer reach than a traditional listing.

What happened: - Concierge Auctions will sell Renamor, a 151-acre estate at 120 Ridge Road in Tuxedo Park, in cooperation with Ellis Sotheby’s International Realty. - The auction opens Sept. 16 on ConciergeAuctions.com and closes Sept. 29 as part of Concierge Auctions’ Hong Kong Global Sale. - The property is listed for $24.995 million, with starting bids expected between $5 million and $11 million. - The estate sits about 50 minutes north of Manhattan.

The details: - George S. Amory and Renee commissioned the estate in 1928, and the combined names inspired the Renamor name. - The main residence is a French Provincial compound with clay-tile roofs, dormer windows, stone and stucco façades, and period ironwork. - Interior spaces include a great hall, grand salon, banquet-sized dining room with a silver vault, library, fumoir, wine cellar and chapel. - The property includes a renovated 3,800-square-foot guest house from the 1930s and a 4,500-square-foot carriage house with a private apartment. - Outdoor amenities include a boathouse on Tuxedo Lake, a log cabin with a stone fireplace, a spa, pool house, putting green and sand trap, patios, fountains, antique statuary and old bridle trails. - More than $1 million went into geothermal and solar systems, including a microgrid and high-efficiency upgrades, allowing the estate to operate off the grid. - Tuxedo Park centers on the 291-acre Tuxedo Lake and is recognized as the first planned residential community in America. - The area includes a private club with golf, tennis and boating, plus access to preserved forests, hiking and biking trails, skiing, dining and cultural destinations. - The community has a Metro-North station with direct service to New York City. - West Point, Woodbury Common, Stewart International Airport, Westchester County Airport and Teterboro Airport are all within reach. - Images of the property are available on ConciergeAuctions.com with credit to Ian Alexander Nelson. - Concierge Auctions said the closing will fund homes for families in need through its Key For Key® program with Giveback Homes.

Between the lines: - Concierge Auctions is using its Hong Kong Global Sale to expose the property to buyers in Asia, Europe and the Middle East, not just the Northeast luxury market. - The auction timing and starting-bid range suggest the seller is aiming to create competitive pricing pressure around a highly distinctive asset. - The estate’s combination of history, acreage, lake access and self-sufficiency sets it apart from more typical luxury listings.

What's next: - Interested buyers can review property details and diligence materials at ConciergeAuctions.com or call +1.212.202.2940. - The auction will begin Sept. 16 and conclude Sept. 29. - Closing will trigger a charitable contribution through Key For Key®.

The bottom line: - Renamor is going to market as a rare, nearly century-old estate with scale, history and global auction exposure built into the sale.
