Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure hosting you and your family. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the house and the grounds, and we greatly appreciate your kind words about our hospitality. Guests like you make hosting such a rewarding experience. You are always welcome back, and we would be very happy to host you again anytime!
The property was perfect for our 3 day stay to celebrate our son's wedding in Ketonah. Our adult children and parents all stayed comfortably in their own ensuite bedrooms and the common space - kitchen, family room, and patio was perfect for our socilaizing, meals, playing games, and watching movies. Our kids took full advantage of the pool, ping pong, and volleyball. They even had a poolside yoga session to help relax the future bride. The home was perfect for pre-wedding pictures - very picturesque. The host was excellent in responding to all our questions.

About the host
Hosted by Ara García
I’m a Spanish entrepreneur, wife, and mom of two. After founding my first company at 22, I moved to New York to pursue my dream. Today, I own and manage luxury properties in Spain and New York, creating soulful spaces that blend beauty, comfort, and meaning. Hosting allows me to share my passion for elegance and connection with every guest.
Luxara Mansion is the expression of that vision—a French-Italian–inspired sanctuary designed to make you feel like royalty without leaving New York.
Nestled in the charming town of Katonah, just one hour from Manhattan by train or car, this home is more than a retreat—it’s an experience. Imagine waking up to views of a private lake accessible directly from the property, sipping coffee surrounded by curated European elegance, or enjoying long summer evenings by the saltwater pool.
My family and I have spent years traveling, learning from the world’s most beautiful places, and weaving those experiences into every corner of this home. Luxara is not just about aesthetics—it’s about soul, intention, and creating a space where people feel cared for.
We don’t just host—we welcome. Whether you’re coming for a celebration, a moment of peace, or a special family gathering, we are honored to share this space with you.
Your joy here is our greatest reward. Welcome to Luxara Mansion—where timeless elegance meets heartfelt hospitality.
Why they chose this property
After more than a decade living in vibrant cities like New York, we chose Katonah for its unique balance of natural beauty, peace, and authenticity. Each season here offers its own charm—colorful falls, snowy winters, blooming springs, and bright summer days by the lakes.
Beyond nature, Katonah is home to a charming village filled with boutiques, art galleries, museums, and excellent restaurants. It’s the perfect setting to reconnect with yourself, enjoy the outdoors, and still remain only a short train ride away from Manhattan.
What makes this property unique
What makes Luxara Mansion truly unique is the way it combines timeless architecture, refined details, and the serenity of nature. From the moment you arrive, you are welcomed by a property that feels both majestic and intimate, where every element has been thoughtfully designed to inspire awe and comfort.
The interiors are a celebration of craftsmanship and elegance: impressive hardwood floors of the highest quality, polished marble surfaces, and a grand staircase that serves as the centerpiece of the home. Each of the bathrooms is finished with porcelain tiles, combining luxury with functionality. Throughout the residence, you will find detailed ceiling moldings that add character and depth, a testament to the artistry invested in every corner.
The mansion’s scale and layout offer exceptional space for families and groups. With six expansive bedrooms, multiple living and dining areas, and a seamless connection to the outdoors, there is room for everyone to gather while still preserving privacy and tranquility.
Equally remarkable is the setting of the property. Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, Luxara Mansion offers an unmatched sense of privacy, embraced by trees, gardens, and the changing beauty of the seasons. Spring brings blossoms and fresh greenery, summer invites you to relax by the sparkling pool, autumn paints the landscape in warm golden hues, and winter turns the surroundings into a peaceful retreat. Each season adds its own touch of magic.
The landscaped gardens are meticulously cared for, creating a frame of natural elegance around the house. Whether you are enjoying a morning coffee on the terrace, an afternoon swim, or an evening walk beneath the stars, the connection between the home and its environment is constant and uplifting.
Luxara Mansion is not simply a place to stay—it is a rare retreat where elegance meets tranquility
