Imagine stepping out the front door of your dream home and cycling down a meandering trail, or strolling down a private secured road. Imagine living among a natural preservation area, steps away from shimmering lakes. Imagine hiking and sailing to your heart’s delight while blue heron and eagles soar overhead.
This could be your day at Pierson Lakes.
With much of this private enclave dedicated to the preservation of natural habitats, the scenic landscape outshines those of the most vivid imaginations. Surrounded by expansive views and acres of nature, Pierson Lakes provides the ultimate in privacy and relaxation.
Once home to an estate owned by descendants of Alexander Hamilton and J.P. Morgan, this gated community 29 miles north of New York City writes a new chapter of remarkable country living.
Nestled within a sprawling expanse of 1,000 acres for only 74 exclusive homes, 25 of which currently exist, and adjacent to 25,000+ acres of parkland (Sterling Forest & Ringwood State Park), Pierson Lakes is a testament to the majesty of untouched preservation: a haven teeming with wildlife and legacy.
A home at Pierson Lakes serves as the perfect setting for weekend guests and to welcome family and friends for festive celebrations or intimate gatherings.
Safe and inviting, the community is superbly maintained by the Homeowner’s Association and patrolled by security.

Legacy of the land
With a history as rich as its natural beauty, the territory forming the Pierson Lakes community is officially traced back to 1795 when Josiah Gilbert Pierson established an estate in the area. A prominent family in the development of Ramapo and its surroundings, the Piersons maintained ownership of the forested land for two hundred years.
