The 216-acre Sands Point Preserve is an interesting mixture of natural and landscaped areas. Diverse natural habitats for a variety of plants and animals are supported on the the Preserve including mature forest, woodlands, fields, meadows, a freshwater pond, glacial cliffs and shoreline on the Long Island Sound.
You are welcome to stroll, hike, jog and/or run on the six marked trails through the woods, around the pond, and along the beach. Trail maps and schedule of guided nature walks are available at the Gatehouse.

CASTLE GOULD

Modeled after the Medieval Castle Kilkenny in Ireland, Castle Gould is a 100,000-square-foot architectural masterpiece, built by the Sands Point Preserve�s first owner, Howard Gould, son of railroad tycoon Jay Gould.

Beneath the Castle�s clock tower, enter the Great Hall, a fully renovated multi-purpose room with great vaulted ceilings, wrought-iron chandeliers, plush draperies over enormous windows overlooking the Preserve�s grounds and the distant view of the Long Island Sound. Club Gould is a contemporary indoor space adjacent to the Great Hall. The Castle also features a 7,000-square-foot �Black Box� � a New York State-certified Sound Stage that is a clean slate for every type of event.

FALAISE

Falaise is one of the few intact historic houses remaining on Long Island�s North Shore. The Gold Coast period of the 1920s was a time of opulence, when prominent families built great mansions and large estates as summer retreats on Long Island.
Falaise was built for Harry F. Guggenheim and his wife Caroline Morton in 1923. The architecture is French Eclectic. The design is based on a 13th Century Norman manor house.
Docent-lead tours are offered from late-May through mid-November. This historic home has limited handicap access.
Distinctive features of the house include an enclosed cobblestone courtyard, thickly mortared brick walls, steeply pitched roofs of heavy tile, and a round tower. The medieval atmosphere is continued inside the house by the arches, thick wood beams, textured plastered walls, and carved stone mantels.
Falaise is furnished with antiques, many from the 16th and 17th century. There are woodcarvings, sculptures, Renaissance paintings and several important pieces of modern art.
Harry Guggenheim had a strong commitment to public service. He was Ambassador to Cuba during the Hoover administration. A Navy pilot, he served in both world wars. He had a lifelong interest in aviation. Charles Lindbergh was a close friend and frequent visitor to Falaise. Harry was also instrumental in securing funding for the research of rocket pioneer Robert Goddard.??In 1939, Harry Guggenheim and Alicia Patterson were married. Shortly afterward, they founded Newsday, Long Island�s daily newspaper.
Harry Guggenheim was an avid horse racing fan. He raised and raced thoroughbred horses, and he helped establish the New York Racing Association. His trophies, awards, and racing memorabilia are on display at Falaise.
