位于美国新泽西州贝德明斯特的房产，其宏大、经典、正统，而且魅力十足……这些形容词仅仅展现了这栋位于贝德明斯特著名赛马之乡的宏伟庄园的一部分优点。这座面积1.9万平方英尺的庄园宅邸于2007年竣工，横跨3层，占地81英亩，现任业主在这里精心打造了他梦想中的家园：一个根植于乔治王朝风格建筑中的优雅而温馨的家。
20世纪末和21世纪著名古典建筑师艾伦·格林伯格（Alan Greenberg）和室内设计公司Cullman & Kravis的负责人伊丽莎白·卡尔曼（Elissa Cullman）的匠心设计完美地实现了现任业主的愿景。他们多年以来亲密无间的合作成果在这栋堪称代表作的”芭丽蕾”（Barryleigh）庄园中得到了充分展现。这座庄园专为奢华的当代生活而设计和建造。它的精髓深深汲取了乔治王朝风格的平衡美学，精工细造，至臻完美。
庄园入口引人入胜，预示着即将到来的美丽。穿过一座石拱桥，一条长长的车道沿着平缓的山坡蜿蜒穿过林地，抵达一片芳草如茵、开满野花的高原，展现在眼前的是一幅壮丽的美景：一座庄严的豪宅坐落于花园环绕中，这片景观是由国际著名景观建筑公司黛博拉·柰文斯（Deborah Nevins & Associates）设计的。
精湛的工艺、历史悠久的材料和精美的艺术装饰决定了庄园的每个房间和结构。主住宅的经典外观采用了定制砖块，细部运用了石灰石。走进屋里，优雅而精致的空间充满精心设计的细节：四角形橡木地板、法式抛光门、错综复杂的分层皇冠造型、细致的方格天花板。花纹石灰石和雕刻古董大理石为这栋豪宅营造出一种博物馆般的氛围。
宽阔的画廊大厅里的主“飞行”楼梯是如此优雅，仿佛真的是从平地腾空而起，飞到了第二层，光线从戏剧性的穹顶和圆顶倾泻而下。另一个穹顶下是气氛私密的非正统饭厅，饰以金色叶片，墙上镶有窗户。在主卧室，凹圆暗槽灯照亮了花纹筒形顶棚。在东侧，一间铺有石板地面的盆栽室穿过庭院，通向带有高架花坛的角落花园，让人回想起热爱园艺的欧洲人几个世纪前的庄园。
格林伯格（Greenberg）和卡尔曼（Cullman）不遗余力地达到了理想的效果：美与历史在这里相遇，同时还能满足21世纪对舒适生活的标准。水晶和瓷器室的印花地板精致而高贵。主套房一间浴室里的淋浴间采用了柔和的弧形设计，名师设计的厨房里的橱柜墙也采用了同样的装饰手法，厨房里配有花岗岩岛式台面和手工打造的陶瓷防溅板。正式饭厅的墙上装饰着手绘的18世纪中国壁纸。多扇牢固的室内外落地双扇玻璃门镶嵌着许多令人赏心悦目的铅制玻璃。屋内四处可见繁复的手工雕刻的天花板造型和吊灯。
楼下是放松和娱乐空间。健身房旁边配有桑拿房和按摩室；影音室是隔音的；俱乐部房间设有定制吧台、壁炉和可以存放5000瓶佳酿的酒窖；孩子们则可以尽情使用运动室和游戏室。
秉承乔治王朝风格对几何和形式的强调，庄园的庭院以正统花园和点缀着大草坪的植物园为特色，广阔的侧柏树篱围出了一个“房间”。多年生植物和英国玫瑰园为这片苍翠增添了色彩。庄园内还有一个奥运会规格的游泳池和水疗中心、带公寓的四车位车库、三车位马车房和庄园物业经理办公室。
在提供极致隐私和静谧的同时，这栋房产所占地皮被划分为两块，距离美食、购物、马术设施、全国一流的高尔夫球场和精英学府只有几分钟的路程。

Grand. . classical. .formal. . inviting. . are just some of the adjectives that describe this magnificent estate in Bedminster’s famed horse country. Completed in 2007, the 19,000-sq-ft manor house spans 3 levels, sitting on over 81 acres, is the meticulous realization of the owners’ vision of an elegant and welcoming home rooted in the architectural vernacular of the Georgian style.
Their vision was painstakingly executed by the masterful design of Alan Greenberg, a leading classical architect of the late 20th and 21st centuries, and Elissa Cullman, principal of interior design firm Cullman & Kravis. The seamless collaboration, over multiple years, is evident in the masterpiece that is “Barryleigh.” D esigned and built for luxurious contemporary living. Its essence draws deeply from the Georgian aesthetic of balance, to which are added exquisite detailing and finish.
The entrance to the property sets the stage for the beauty to come. Across a stone-arched bridge, a long driveway winds up a gentle hill through woodlands to reach a plateau of grassy wildflower meadows, giving way to dramatic views of the stately home and its surrounding gardens, designed by the internationally prominent landscape architecture firm Deborah Nevins & Associates.
Superb craftsmanship, time-honored materials, and artistic ornamentation define every room and structure on the estate. The classic exterior of the main residence features custom-made brick with limestone detailing. Inside, gracious and sophisticated spaces with thoughtfully crafted details abound: quartersawn oak flooring, French-polished doors, intricately layered crown molding, detailed coffered ceilings. Patterned limestone and carved antique marble give the residence a museum-quality ambiance.
The main “flying” staircase in the wide gallery hall is so graceful it really does seem to fly up to the second level where light streams in from the dramatic dome and cupola. Another dome, defining the intimate informal dining room, is painted in gold leaf and framed with windows. In the principal bedroom, cove lighting illuminates the patterned barrel ceiling. In the east wing, a stone-floored potting room exits across a courtyard to the cutting garden with raised flower beds, harking back to the centuries-old estates of horticulture-loving Europeans.
Nothing was spared to achieve the desired effect of beauty meets history meets 21st-century comfort. The stenciled floor of the crystal and china room is delicately sublime. The shower in one of the bathrooms of the principal suite is gently curved, as are the cabinetry walls in the architect-designed kitchen, which features a granite-topped island and handmade ceramic backsplash. Hand-painted 18th-century Chinese wallpaper adorns the formal dining room. Delightful leaded-glass lunette windows embellish many of the deep-set interior and exterior French doors. Throughout are intricate hand-carved ceiling moldings and chandelier medallions.
The lower level of the residence is its own world of relaxation and entertainment. The gym has an adjacent sauna and massage rooms; the theatre is sound-proofed; the club room features a custom-designed bar, fireplace, and 5,000-bottle wine cellar; and for the kids, there is a sports room and a playroom.
Adhering to the Georgian-style emphasis on geometry and formality, the grounds of the estate feature formal gardens and a topiary dotted grand lawn, in “rooms” defined by the expansive arborvitae hedgerow. An allée of perennials and an English rose garden add color to the shades of green. Also on the property are an Olympic-size pool and spa, 4-car-garage with apartment, 3-car carriage house, and estate manager’s office.
While offering the ultimate in privacy and seclusion, this exceptional listing, which is being offered in 2 parcels, is minutes from fine dining choices, shopping, equestrian facilities, nationally ranked golf courses and excellent schools.
