Morris Manor (Morris, NY)
1859 State Hwy 51, Morris, New York
Known as "Morris Manor" the estate was sold March 22, 1995 outside of the family for the first time by heirs of Gen. Jacob Morris, who was the son of a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
Other Morris heirs continue to this day to own significant adjacent parcels of land.
The 180-acre estate was sold for $390,000 to Manhattan lawyer Michael Cuddy (3-22-1995).
An attempt to auction the property in (via J.P. King Auction Co.) failed to meet Cuddy's minimum in 2005. The highest auction bid generated was $1.2 million.
UPDATE Jan 8, 2015 the estate on 177-acres was listed for sale for $4,500,000. Dropped to $3,950,000 in early 2016. Still on market as of OCT 2016
