Brookledge – A Timeless Country Manor

Every once in a while, a property comes along that makes you pause and think... just maybe. Brookledge is that rare opportunity—a magnificent Country Manor built in 1923, brimming with elegance, history, and craftsmanship nearly impossible to replicate today.

Imagine the stories its century-old trees could tell—decades of joyful gatherings, poolside celebrations, sun-drenched summer days, and laughter echoing across the lawn. Children chasing fireflies, ice cream cones in hand. Friendly games of basketball, graduation parties, and festive holidays that turn into lifelong memories. This home has been the backdrop for it all—and now, it's ready for its next chapter.

Why not make it yours?

 

A Premier Location – East Aurora, NY

Nestled at the edge of the historic Village of East Aurora, Brookledge offers the perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility. Just minutes from Route 400, you're connected to all of Western New York—including downtown Buffalo and the Buffalo Niagara International Airport—yet surrounded by nature and history.

East Aurora is more than a location—it’s a lifestyle. This beloved village is small enough to know your neighbors, yet sophisticated enough to meet every need. Explore charming boutiques, renowned art galleries, cozy cafés, breweries, chocolate shops, and bookstores. Discover national historic landmarks like Knox Farm State Park and the home of President Millard Fillmore.

The Estate – A Legacy of Craftsmanship and Comfort
