Surrounded by exquisite formal gardens, the 19,000-square- foot manor house, filled with museum-quality details, is the ultimate in grand contemporary living and minutes from five-star restaurants, shopping, equestrian facilities, nationally ranked golf courses, and excellent schools. By: Brooke Goode G rand . . . 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-square-foot manor house, spanning three levels on over 80 acres, is the meticulous realization of the owners' vision of an elegant and welcoming home rooted in the architectural vernacular of the Georgian style. eir 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. Greenberg's residential clients span the globe, and commercial clients included Princeton University, the US State Department, and Bergdorf Goodman. Cullman is honored in Architectural Digest's Hall of Fame. e seamless collaboration between Greenberg, Cullman, and the owners, over multiple years, is evident in the masterpiece that is "Barryleigh". "Barryleigh" is designed and built for luxurious contemporary living, yet completely devoid of ostentation and pretention. Its essence draws deeply from the Georgian aesthetic of balance, to which are added exquisite detailing and finish. e entrance to the property sets the stage for the beauty to come. Across a stone-arched bridge, a long-secluded 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.
