Shangrila is a private 6-acre estate in Chappaqua, NY: 45 minutes from NYC by Metro-North and under a mile from the station. One location, many looks.
A pond and running stream stocked with bass, trout, and sunfish wind through the property, crossed by stone bridges and a 400-year-old Quaker stone dam. The woodland, with 150-year-old specimen trees and rare rhododendrons, reads as deep forest without leaving the grounds. Manicured gardens feature Japanese primrose, climbing hydrangea, and extensive stonework, alongside a fenced herb and vegetable garden.
For outdoor living scenes, there’s a built-in grill with bar seating, a covered dining area, and three outdoor fireplaces. The classic Dodge Farms Colonial home anchors the property, and landscape lighting throughout makes it ideal for dusk and night shoots.
Production details: parking for 15 cars on site, outdoor power outlets available, and a private downstairs holding room for crew with its own bathroom.
Scouting visits welcome before booking.
