The pristine setting of the Rushmore Estate offers a myriad of outdoor activities; such as fishing on a private lake, hiking on marked trails, canoeing, paddle boarding...just to name a few.

Located just minutes from world famous Woodbury Common Premium Outlets, Brotherhood Winery (oldest winery in America), Bear Mountain, Storm King Arts Center, Harriman State Park, and WEST POINT MILITARY ACADEMY...and many more destinations that make the Hudson Valley a destination to return time and time again.
Much of the house s interior has been preserved in its original condition. The Rushmore Estate’s ballroom features vaulted ceilings with elegant plaster carvings, French doors opening to a stone patio, oak floors and an oversized fireplace. The space can quickly and easily become a place to entertain or shoot pool.
The rooms make the Rushmore Estate a unique experience, illustrating lavish architecture in each room that can shift from a personal dining room into a sitting room. A fireside library is available for cocktails. Above the ballroom are four large guest suites, each with its own private bath.
Outside, an unusual landmark remains from the early 1900s: A stone and stucco clocktower with the original Tiffany clock still ticking inside.
Financier and attorney Charles E. Rushmore (of Mt. Rushmore’s namesake) commissioned the 25-room, four building estate in 1908. This spectacular Spanish Colonial-style mansion served as place for Rushmore’s ill wife, Jeannette, to rest. The pristine grounds and privacy provided a perfect respite from the hustle and rush of New York City.
Well-maintained throughout the years, the Rushmore Estate still does as it once intended—but not just for the owner and his family.
Charles Rushmore
The Rushmores in Woodbury
Charles Rushmore was born in New York City in 1856 and remained a resident of New Yorker his entire life. He founded his own law firm, Rushmore, Bisbee & Stern, and had the largest New York banks as his clients.
Around 1900, because of Mrs. Rushmore’s ill health, the family decided that good country air would improve her condition.
They settled in Highland Mills for their new home and first lived in a house on Quaker Road. Soon the Rushmores began acquiring property in the Woodbury area, eventually owning 1,500 acres, including Schunnemunk Mountain.
In 1908, they built a mansion of Spanish colonial design which they named Carmore (the “Car” from Carpenter, Mrs. Rushmore’s maiden name, and the “more” from Rushmore).
It still stands today, known as the Rushmore Estate, with much of the original land now part of the Brigadoon housing community off Route 32.
