Houlihan Lawrence Announces Sale of Pre-Civil War Era Mansion in Millbrook for $10.45 Million

MILLBROOK, NY (November 2026) -- Houlihan Lawrence, has announced the sale of a Pre-Civil War Era mansion on Shunpike Road in Millbrook for $10,450,000. It is the second largest sale price in the history of the Millbrook post office district, and the fifth highest sale in the Washington, NY township.


The seller was socialite and philanthropist Blaine Trump, who is the former sister-in-law of President Trump.


Known as the Linley House Estate, the extraordinary Greek Revival Center Hall Colonial is set on over 197 pastoral acres across five parcels. The inclusion of additional land resulted in a sale above the original asking price. The estate residence features 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, with grandly proportioned public rooms and soaring ceiling heights. A chef’s kitchen opens to a warm and inviting family room with a wood-burning fireplace, one of a total of eight fireplaces in the home. French doors lead to a wide veranda ideal for alfresco dining and sunset views.

 

The second floor includes four additional bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, and a private guest seating area. South-facing rooms enjoy access to private terraces with breathtaking views. The third floor boasts two more guest rooms, each with en-suite baths.


The property is designed for recreation and entertainment on every level with heated Gunite pool, tennis and basketball courts, fitness center, 16-seat movie theater with concession stand, and a rustic yet elegant party barn. Ideally located in the heart of the Millbrook Hunt Country, just 90 minutes from New York City and minutes from the charming village of Millbrook.


The agents for the seller were Andrew Gates of Houlihan Lawrence and Michael Passaro of Douglas Elliman. The sale closed on Nov. 2. The buyer was not identified.
