!!! Selling price for Astor Court upped

RHINEBECK – Before Chelsea Clinton’s wedding was held at Astor Court in Rhinebeck, the palatial estate built in 1902-1904, was on the block for sale for $12 million.

Now, two weeks after the wedding of the century that drew public officials and notables to watch Chelsea wed Marc Mezvinsky, the facility, which was inspired by the Grand Trianon at Versailles, is back on the market for $13.5 million.

The realtor handling the property, Harry Hill III of Rhinebeck, did not return a phone call for comment. But, the H.H. Hill Realty Services, Inc. website lists Astor Court as: “Located on 50 secluded, pastoral acres, this classical pavilion-style home offers panoramic views of the Catskill Mountains and 2000 feet of river frontage – and, it has a Letter of Patent from New York State guaranteeing access to the Hudson River in perpetuity.”

According to the website, the structure, also known as Astor Casino or Ferncliff Casino, was originally built as a sporting pavilion with indoor tennis court, swimming pool, squash courts on the main level and a bowling alley on the lower level.
In 1941, the building was converted to a residence.

“The current owners have completed a scrupulous renovation of the structure back to its original plans,” according to the website. The owners were not identified.
