Blairsden, Châteauesque mansion in Peapack-Gladstone, United States.

The 62,000-square-foot mansion includes 38 rooms, 25 fireplaces, and 19 bathrooms, positioned on a hilltop overlooking Ravine Lake.

Investment banker Clinton Ledyard Blair commissioned architects Carrère and Hastings to construct this residence between 1897 and 1903.

The Sisters of St. John the Baptist operated the property as a religious retreat center from 1950 until 2002.

The mansion features a 300-foot reflecting pool, marble columns, intricate moldings, and a basement containing a pool and Turkish baths.

The construction required leveling a mountain section, and a funicular transported materials and guests across the terraced grounds.
