At Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys, our Mt. Kisco-based team is honored to serve the exclusive and historically rich hamlet of Waccabuc, NY. Known for its scenic beauty, storied past, and prominent residents, Waccabuc is a unique gem nestled within the Town of Lewisboro in Westchester County. As personal injury attorneys, we take pride in advocating for those injured due to the negligence of others—whether on quiet, rural roads or within the borders of private estates. Our team brings legal excellence and personalized attention to every case, ensuring that residents of Waccabuc receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
Waccabuc is unlike any other community in Westchester County—or anywhere in the greater New York City area. Often referred to as “New York’s Secret Suburb,” Waccabuc maintains an aura of exclusivity and quiet elegance. With a population of just 851, it is the smallest hamlet in Lewisboro, yet it has gained national recognition for its wealth, charm, and tight-knit community of privacy-seeking residents, including Fortune 500 executives, creatives, and celebrities.
Despite its size, Waccabuc has made a significant cultural and historical impact, becoming a destination for those who value beauty, discretion, and serenity.
Waccabuc began as a private vacation retreat for the Mead family, one of Westchester's first and most influential families. Their vision was to build a peaceful escape—free of urban distractions like “tramps, bars, or malaria,” as early descriptions proudly noted. Many of the hamlet’s winding roads, including “Tarry-a-Bit,” trace their names and routes back to original summer homes.
The Waccabuc Country Club, a central landmark, occupies the grounds of an original Mead estate, further tying today’s community to its historic roots.
Several landmarks in Waccabuc, such as the Mead Memorial Chapel and The Homestead, have been recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2015, the entire Waccabuc Historic District was officially designated, preserving the hamlet’s architectural integrity and cultural heritage for future generations.
Waccabuc is widely known for its strict zoning laws that preserve its low population density and maintain the integrity of its natural surroundings. Properties must be at least two acres in size, and many areas require a minimum of four acres, promoting a rural, estate-like setting rare in modern suburbia.
This commitment to land preservation is further reflected in the Waccabuc Land Owner’s Association, which collectively purchased 100 acres of pristine land to ensure its conservation and provide scenic hiking trails for residents.
The hamlet's median home value exceeds $1.2 million, and average household incomes are among the highest in the region. Waccabuc has earned its place on Forbes' list of “America’s Most Expensive ZIP Codes,” ranking higher than more well-known Westchester communities like Scarsdale and Chappaqua.
Though small, Waccabuc is home to a disproportionate number of influential residents. Past and present residents include:
Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller, who wed in Waccabuc in 1956
Gwyneth Paltrow, actress and entrepreneur
Bryant Gumbel, journalist and sportscaster
Stanley Tucci, actor and filmmaker
William Lauder, CEO of Estée Lauder
Roger Stone, political strategist
Jean-Georges Vongerichten, world-renowned chef
This “who’s who” of notable figures highlights the hamlet’s reputation as a haven for those seeking beauty, privacy, and inspiration.
