Col. Oliver Hazard Payne Estate, Renaissance mansion in Esopus, United States.

The Col. Oliver Hazard Payne Estate spans 60 acres on the Hudson River, featuring a 42,000-square-foot Mediterranean palazzo with limestone facades and red tile roofs.

The estate, constructed between 1909 and 1911, replaced the former Waldorf residence of John Jacob Astor III and later served as the Wiltwyck School for Boys.

The mansion demonstrates the architectural excellence of Carrère and Hastings, who incorporated Italian design elements including Ionic columns, frescoed loggias, and decorative balustrades.

The Raymond A. Rich Institute for Leadership Development at Marist College now operates from this estate, offering educational programs in its historical setting.

The property contains a stone boathouse that remains one of the few surviving structures of its kind along the Hudson River's shoreline.

Location: New York

Architects: Carrère and Hastings
