HomeDiary

View The Story of This Home

Welcome to 10 Dragonwood Lane, the extraordinary Origami House—a one-of-a-kind architectural masterpiece set on approximately 15.57 acres across four separately deeded parcels. Designed by Manhattan’s renowned Leroy Street Studio, this exceptional estate unites sculptural modern architecture, luxury living, and natural beauty in a setting of remarkable privacy and tranquility.

Bordering a serene nature preserve, the estate is approached by a winding, tree-lined drive framed by flowering cherry trees, a private electronic gate, and a lighted tennis court. Beyond, the residence emerges as a striking composition of geometric forms, expansive glass, dramatic ceiling heights, and seamless indoor-outdoor connections.

At the center of the home is the spectacular Glass Great Room, inspired by I.M. Pei’s iconic Louvre Pyramid. Enclosed in glass on three sides, the space opens to an expansive terrace overlooking one of two cascading waterfalls within the estate’s nationally recognized koi sanctuary.

The approximately 8,500-square-foot residence was designed for both refined everyday living and exceptional entertaining. Highlights include four spacious bedrooms; a gourmet chef’s kitchen with separate scullery kitchen and walk-in pantry; a lower-level kitchenette; a private fitness room overlooking the waterfalls; and a spa-inspired primary suite with a soaking tub opening to a private meditation garden and hot tub. A private office and library with its own entrance offers flexibility for business meetings, guests, or multigenerational living, while an industrial-style artist’s studio provides an inspiring space for creative or professional pursuits.

Sophisticated technology and amenities include a fully integrated Savant smart home system, six independently controlled HVAC zones, and a heated three-car attached garage.

Perhaps the estate’s most extraordinary feature is its nationally recognized koi sanctuary, masterfully designed by premier koi specialists. Two cascading waterfalls, a swimming channel, and a glass-covered interior viewing corridor create an immersive environment where architecture and nature converge.

Originally commissioned for Tony Award-winning director and producer Des McAnuff and acclaimed sculptor Bryna McCann, the Origami House represents an extraordinary collaboration of artistic vision, innovative architecture, and exceptional craftsmanship. Hemingway Fine Homes further distinguished the property by earning prestigious HOBI Awards for Best Outdoor Living Environment and Best Exterior Home Remodel.

The offering encompasses four separately deeded parcels:

  • 10 Dragonwood Lane — 5.52 acres
  • 8 Dragonwood Lane — 3.24 acres
  • 6 Dragonwood Lane — 4.10 acres
  • 4 Dragonwood Lane — 2.71 acres

Together, these parcels create an exceptional 15.57-acre private estate with significant long-term value and future potential. Whether envisioned as a year-round residence, private family compound, or extraordinary weekend retreat, the Origami House offers a truly singular lifestyle—where visionary architecture, art, technology, and nature exist in perfect harmony.
