This address is an art world celebrity in its own right.
The Westchester estate of world-renowned contemporary art collectors Sherry and Joel Mallin has hit the market. The peaceful Pound Ridge property is listed with Houlihan Lawrence’s Mary H. Palmerton and asks $8.5 million.
“The overwhelming, unasked-for comment is made day after day after day by people who say, ‘It’s so strangely calm here,’” Sherry Mallin told Crain’s of a common reaction to the 14 acres she and her husband have called home for some 40 years. “It just exists. Everyone feels it.”
The compound’s features are impressive on paper: It has eight structures in all, including a main home from the 1930s and a 9,200-square-foot, museum-quality “Art Barn” exhibition space — as well as an in-ground pool, a pool house, a lake and an apple orchard. There are separate red and white wine cellars, the red guarded by artist Tony Matelli’s “Sleepwalker” statue, as well as a caretaker’s house, two guest cottages and a garage topped by a studio apartment.
