Gardner's Island is simply wonderful. I'm so sorry it can't remain pristine, or nearly so, forever. A priceless jewel, a priceless treasure. Loved this video.

I could sit and listen to him all day. Wow. He’s a treasure.
-
Looks like he passed in 2004 and they inherited the entire island. No developments yet - the niece is a forester enthusiast.

I grew up on eastern Long Island. When I was young, my parents had the opportunity to visit Gardiner's Island. (Gardiner had been asked to run for office, and he invited a group from that party to see the Manor and Island.) They were shown around by Robert David Lion Gardiner himself. I didn't get to go because he didn't want kids under a certain age there (12 when I was 11, or 14 when I was 13). I was a mature and quiet kid, but we played by the rules....only to find out that one of the other guests had brought a kid younger than me. My mother was pretty mad about that, and I have been sorry for over 50 years that I missed out on a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Favorite tidbit from the visit: Gardiner and his sister were at odds with each other, but each had rites to the house. There was a single coveted dining room that each claimed for their own. Solution: Split it right down the middle, visually, with each half being decorated differently, from the walls and furnishings right down to the table settings and decor.

Hope it stays as is.

He sees a legacy of family history and his family sees money.

-

Worth $1B in 1999. Who knows what its value would be today. Unreal. 5/24/2024

Him screaming at the mic is hilarious
-
I’ll enjoy reading his obituary.
-
The East Coast rich man's accent. Mid Atlantic.
-
My grandparents bought a summer place out there when my mom was in HS. Would sit on Gerard beach with clear views of the island. ☀️

Given his niece was a professional forest conservator, and her then husband the (now) late Robert Goelet was a past President of New York Historical Society, President of Museum of Natural History, President of Wildlife Conservation Society, I don’t think developing it into housing estates was likely top of their agendas… All very Bleak House…
-
8:50 that computer.. State-of-the-art circa 1999😅😅😅
-
Amazing Man.
-
Where is the follow up? This was done in 1999 when Robert was 88 years old. Obviously he has died in the 25 years since. When his relatives got a hold of the island, did thy develop it or just turn it into their own private retreat?
-
The value of some things can't be measured in dollars..
-
I really hope 😢 this place as been left alone they way it is I this video
