Stone Hill
Muttontown, New York

A lushly planted gatehouse with a signature serpentine stone wall defines the property’s boundaries and is the first impression as you arrive. Once through the gates, you quickly leave the hustle and bustle of daily life behind. Lushly planted medians and shady streets feel like they have been there as long as the original estate yet were newly planted in 2004. All residents have the opportunity to enjoy the communal playground spaces, which include a pool, tennis court, and beautiful gardens with four-season interest.
As each lot sold, Bayview teamed with the architects and civil engineers to design a luxury bespoke outdoor environment for each property. Bayview sited each residence to best take advantage of natural light and led the design and placement of driveways, walkways, stormwater management elements, landscape lighting, and landscape features including a mix of pools, outdoor kitchens, fire lounges, tennis courts, and flower and vegetable gardens.
