Property Description
Built circa 1928 in the romantic French Provincial style, Renamor stands apart from other Gilded Age homes in the region for its timeless charm and rustic elegance popularized in post-World War I America architecture. With its distinct hip roof, classic clay tiles, dormer windows, stone and stucco façade and period ironwork inside and out, it evokes the spirit of Normandy, Provence and the French countryside—brought to life in the rolling hills of New York's Hudson Valley.
Originally commissioned by George S. and M. Renée Carhart Amory—whose blended names inspired the estate's Renamor name, the property has been meticulously preserved. Most recently, it was lovingly restored and cared for by the late Robert S. Dow, a prominent asset manager and a committed philanthropist who believed deeply in giving back to the community.
Renamor includes three distinct residences totaling over 22,000 square feet: a 14,000-sf main residence, featuring a dramatic great hall, grand salon, banquet-sized dining room, extraordinary library, former chapel, a “fumoir,” where gentlemen smoked after dinner, a wine cellar, an expansive kitchen, and six bedroom suites; a completely renovated 3,700-sf guest house from the 1930s; and 4,500-sf carriage house with a luxurious private apartment.
Beyond the residences, the estate includes a boathouse on Tuxedo Lake, a secluded one-room log cabin with a large stone fireplace, a spa/pool house, tea house, oversized five-car garage and multiple outdoor entertaining areas.
With 16 bedrooms, 20 bathrooms and 19 fireplaces, the property is designed for both intimate living and large-scale entertainment, giving Renamor the versatility to be both a private retreat and entertainer's paradise ideal for hosting gatherings of all sizes in a setting that feels both grand and comfortable. The fact that it has outdoor activities on the estate as well as multiple pools, lake access and golf course at nearby Tuxedo Club, makes it a true lifestyle property.
Renamor is not just a historic treasure, it's also a model of sustainability renewably powered by solar and geothermal energy, giving it a forward-thinking edge. A $1 million+ investment was made over a decade ago, allowing the property to operate entirely off the grid, independent of local utilities. Its net-zero energy integration includes a microgrid system and high-efficiency upgrades that ensure modern performance while preserving the estate's historic character.
Tuxedo Park itself adds another layer of distinction. As the first planned residential community in America—complete with a centralized sewer system—it carries deep historical relevance. Just 40 miles from Manhattan and close to private airports, the area offers rare access to nature and urban convenience all in one.
Renamor is more than a home—it's a legacy estate, ready to be passed to a new generation of stewardship. Whether as a weekend retreat or a full-time residence, this is a landmark property of remarkable depth, vision and beauty.
Find your one of one. Renamor.
