DARK HORSE ESTATE — An extraordinary private estate where architecture, nature, music and legacy converge. Set on 10 pristine riverfront acres, Dark Horse encompasses the legendary Dark Horse Manor and Dark Horse Recording, creating a one-of-a-kind retreat unlike anything else in the region. Built with timeless heavy post-and-beam construction and walls of glass, the estate encompasses more than 23,000 square feet, complemented by more than 3,000 square feet of covered porches and walkways. Designed for both intimate living and extraordinary entertaining, every element invites connection—to the outdoors, to one another and to creativity.
DARK HORSE MANOR encompasses more than 14,200 square feet across The Manor, The Cottage and The Bungalow Apartment. Connected by covered walkways and a sky bridge/game room, the residences offer an exceptional combination of privacy and gathering spaces. The estate also includes the Party Barn and a three-car garage, with additional outdoor spaces designed for entertaining and enjoying the surrounding landscape.
DARK HORSE RECORDING is an approximately 8,900-square-foot creative compound built in 1998 and is known as a destination for acclaimed recording artists. Its rustic interpretation of heavy post-and-beam architecture creates an immersive environment surrounded by nature, with multiple studios, public gathering spaces, two separate sleeping quarters, porches and patios. For decades, artists have come here to escape, focus and create.
More than a residence. More than a recording studio. Dark Horse is a rare opportunity to own a place where an extraordinary creative history has already been written—and to become part of what comes next.
A property of this scale, character and provenance is nearly impossible to replicate. Dark Horse awaits its next chapter.
