*****MUST SEE!! ***** Private showing

Welcome to one of the most extraordinary waterfront estates in the New York metropolitan area — a breathtaking architectural masterpiece set along the shimmering waters of Lake Success, a rare glacial lake formed more than 10,000 years ago at the end of the Ice Age. Located in the prestigious Village of Lake Success, this one-of-a-kind estate offers unmatched privacy, scale, and natural beauty just moments from Manhattan.

Situated on approximately 0.98 acres with nearly 11,000 square feet of interior space across five expansive levels, this spectacular 7-bedroom, 7-bathroom residence was inspired by the philosophy of renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, blending timeless organic architecture with breathtaking waterfront surroundings. Dramatic 14+ foot ceilings and walls of glass frame tranquil lake views from nearly every room, creating a seamless connection between indoor living and the natural world outside.

Designed for both grand entertaining and intimate everyday living, the home features an extraordinary collection of luxury amenities, including a private dance studio, fitness room, wine cellar, multiple walk-in closets, heated floors, expansive terraces, multiple kitchens, dumbwaiter, central vacuum, laundry chute, private sheds, and a 3-car garage. Extensive steel construction provides a level of structural integrity rarely found in residential properties.

The resort-style outdoor experience is equally exceptional. The estate showcases a luxurious heated pool and spa with automatic cover, expansive decks and patios, and 11 beautifully curated flower beds creating a private botanical sanctuary. The grounds are perfectly suited for elegant entertaining, wedding celebrations, and unforgettable gatherings.

Perfectly positioned alongside the renowned Lake Success Golf Club, the property offers direct golf course access just moments away — an extraordinary lifestyle opportunity for golf and country club enthusiasts.

Wake up each morning to the peaceful sounds of birdsong and gentle water reflections while enjoying the ever-changing beauty of Long Island’s hidden lake system — an underground-connected aquifer ecosystem unlike anything else in the region. Watch turtles sunbathe by the shore and majestic predatory birds soar overhead as nearby bird sanctuaries and preserved natural landscapes create a setting of rare serenity and privacy. Throughout the seasons, the property offers more than 70 unique visual experiences and a remarkable array of wildlife, including the American Bald Eagle, hawks, owls, egrets, swans, ducks, geese, frogs, rabbits, and other native species rarely experienced this close to New York City.

Steeped in history, the property was once connected to the visionary developer of the surrounding lake community and was later home to the inventor of the portable EKG machine. Today, it stands as one of the most unique and iconic waterfront estates on Long Island — offering a level of character, craftsmanship, serenity, and presence that simply cannot be replicated.

Despite its serene and secluded atmosphere, the home offers exceptional convenience:
• Approximately 22 minutes to Midtown Manhattan
• Approximately 15 minutes to both JFK and LaGuardia Airports

Set within the prestigious Lake Success Country Club community, residents enjoy a truly exceptional private-club lifestyle. Exclusive village amenities include a dedicated Village Police Department, championship 18-hole golf course, elegant clubhouse, Olympic-size swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and a fully equipped fitness center.The residence is zoned for the highly regarded Lakeville Elementary School, Great Neck South Middle School, and Great Neck South High School.
