Emmy-winning talk show host Sally Jessy Raphael has just chopped $1 million from the asking price of her longtime New York castle.

The unique Hudson Valley estate, an Elizabethan-style timber-framed mansion built more than a century ago, is now asking $5.5 million. Raphael, born Sally Lowenthal, has owned the home for more than 25 years, having acquired it in 1997 for $1.725 million, records with PropertyShark show. She first put it on the market in October of last year for $6.5 million.

The grand manor house sits at the center of more than 25 acres in the village of Pawling, about an hour and 45 minutes north of Manhattan, and is undeniably historic. The property that stands today was built in sections over a lengthy period from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, to replace a structure that had been there since the 1740s, according to listing agent Harriet Norris of Douglas Elliman.

After remaining in the hands of the same family for multiple generations, “Sally was the first person outside of the family to own the house,” she said.

The property was in disrepair when Raphael bought it, “but Sally loves a project and loved this house,” Norris said. “And she had the resources and the talent to take on a project like that. She put millions of dollars into this house.”

Today, the three-story mansion still has a wealth of period details, including hand-carved pilasters, leaded glass windows, Gothic spires, beamed ceilings, wood-paneled walls and a hand-carved oak staircase.

“She wanted to keep it of the period,” Norris said. “She more than left her mark on it and made it beautiful.”

There are 17 bedrooms—including several staff rooms and a children’s wing with small bedrooms and a nanny’s room—nine bathrooms, four half bathrooms and 10 fireplaces.

“Even though it’s huge, there are lots of places you can sit and cozy up,” Norris said. A window-lined space off the dining room, for example, overlooks the property and the grounds, and is a “great place to sit and read a book or have a glass of red wine during a snowstorm,” she explained.

The veranda—lined with removable windows that can open the space up like a porch—is another stand-out spot.

The vast grounds, meanwhile, boast features like two caretaker’s homes, a carriage house, a yoga studio and stables. The acreage no doubt came in handy during the summers when Raphael hosted Camp Sally, which she did for more than 10 years.

“She would invite the local kids to come and spend a week at Camp Sally,” Norris said, and would task friends with teaching the kids skills like photography or how to bake. “Whoever she knew that had a talent for something, she had us all there.”

Raphael, 89, couldn’t be reached for comment. Her tabloid talk show “Sally,” for which she’s best known, debuted in 1983 and ran until 2002 across 19 seasons and 3,820 episodes.

“This house is a very special house, and it needs a very special buyer who has the resources, who has the passion and who can embrace the project,” Norris said. “It’s a work in progress as many of these big houses are.

“People thought it was priced pretty well before and now it’s priced even better,” the agent added. A buyer “can use that million dollars to take care of maintenance going forward.”
