3. Kykuit: New York
Situated at the highest point in Pocantico Hills, the Kykuit house (a Dutch word meaning “lookout”) not only gives a perfect viewpoint of the Hudson river, but even lets you see the New York City skyline from a whopping twenty-five miles away. Kykuit’s a popular choice for weddings and parties, having been built by the Rockefellers and containing rich collections of American art. It’s earned a spot on the American Register of Famous Places for good reason.
