In the heart of Long Island’s Gold Coast, 102 Horseshoe Road stands as a commanding tribute to timeless elegance and modern engineering. Situated within the prestigious enclave of Mill Neck, this monumental estate offers 15,000 square feet of refined living space on 7.8 acres of manicured grounds, complete with lily ponds, reflecting pools, and two state-of-the-art greenhouses.
Now listed for $11,800,000, the residence is one of the most significant offerings in Mill Neck real estate, blending old-world grandeur with 21st-century innovation. Originally conceived in 2010 and completed in 2013 by the renowned firm Gallagher Homburger Gonzales Architects, the home is constructed to near-commercial standards with reinforced concrete, radiant heating, and zero-deflection steel beams—details rarely found in New York luxury homes.

“The property was envisioned as a generational estate,” says listing agent Jason P. Friedman of Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty. “It’s not just impressive in scale—what makes it rare is the quality of its execution and the emotional response it evokes the moment you arrive.”
Monumental Interiors Framed by Nature and Craftsmanship
Step through the grand stone façade and into a sweeping bridal staircase foyer, flanked by formal living and dining rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, seven fireplaces, and intricate parquet flooring. The heart of the home is its chef’s kitchen—a luminous space outfitted with a massive center island, premium appliances, and a turret-style breakfast alcove bathed in natural light. French doors connect the interior to a heated indoor pool pavilion, designed as a year-round wellness escape.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a sanctuary of scale and comfort, with a private Juliet balcony, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-like bathroom complete with soaking tub. Five additional guest suites are equally appointed with custom vanities and luxurious en-suite baths.

“There’s a rhythm to the layout that was thoughtfully considered,” notes Sarah R. Friedman, co-listing agent with Daniel Gale. “Each wing flows naturally, balancing grandeur with intimacy. That balance is what makes this one of the crown jewels of Mill Neck real estate.”
Beyond the formal entertaining spaces, 102 Horseshoe Road surprises with a fully finished 7,000-square-foot lower level that includes a climate-controlled wine cellar, sauna, gym, home theater, and a full-service bar with bespoke cabinetry. A second kitchen supports catering for events, while two laundry rooms, radiant-heated floors, a 4-car garage, and a full-home generator add convenience and resilience.

Outside, expansive stone patios and wraparound terraces encourage al fresco living and entertaining. Two greenhouses—engineered with cutting-edge climate systems—are nestled amid curated gardens and mature trees.

“Even with its scale, the estate remains deeply connected to the natural surroundings,” Jason Friedman tells Luxury Houses. “You’ll hear birdsong before you hear anything else. There’s serenity in every corner.”
The property has a rich sales history, having last changed hands in 2007 for $2.5 million before undergoing its current transformation. It originally entered the market in 2022 at $17.4 million and has since been repositioned to reflect today’s buyer climate, now offering tremendous value at $787 per square foot.
