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.

Thank you for that information. I am glad the island wasn't sold to greedy, frothing developers. Wouldn't it be a slice of Heaven to own the island and be at peace during the summer months.

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.

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…

@@markw999 I’m assuming they figured that just waiting out his demise and getting 100% ownership under the terms of the trust, by not agreeing to legally binding covenants then they maximised their future tax write downs. So yes, greed definitely paid a part, but not with the intention of stuffing up the island, but maximising their tax benefits for future generational wealth increase. The island is obviously land tax exempt, but by not being “protected” will still count as “worth” a billion plus as a tax write down against any other “bad” (for them) tax positions they may want to unwind in the future.

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?

🤦he absolutely does not sound like a nineteenth century aristocrat! He doesn't even sound English! Of course he sounds American, being one and why they put up with his rudeness is quite beyond me. Being the heir to such a fortune obviously meant that people spoiled him, but he's playing up to it too. The voice over is extremely irritating,why can't they let the man speak for himself instead of interpreting him for us. Did Gardner really admit to having 'screaming matches ' with his family?
