A private family in Rye, New York, is looking for an experienced couple to take exceptional care of their beloved 1904 home. The property is beautiful, with over 20 acres, a 15,000+ square-foot main house, indoor and outdoor pools, and a tennis court, but what makes this opportunity truly special is the family behind it. They are kind, appreciative, and loyal.
The couple they are replacing served them for nearly 30 years. They are not looking for staff, they are looking for the right people to trust with their home.
The principals travel extensively, so you will enjoy real autonomy and the satisfaction of keeping a legacy estate running beautifully. In return, you will be well compensated, well cared for, with a charming 3-bedroom cottage on the property. Families with children are warmly accepted. For a couple who takes pride in their craft, cares for a home as if it were their own, and values an exceptional client, this is the perfect match
