Pocantico Hills

Welcome to Pocantico Hills

Pocantico Hills is a picturesque hamlet nestled within the town of Mount Pleasant in Westchester County, New York renowned for its rich history and natural beauty

John D. Rockefeller began buying land in Pocantico Hills in 1893.

Trestle Bridge, at East Tarry Town, N.Y. on the New York, Boston & Montreal Railway In 1880, The "Old Put" Railroad ran from New York to Brewster. The section between East View and Pocantico Hills, travelled over an 80-foot-high trestle over a marsh-filled valley. Because of the dangers of crossing the bridge, which often required that trains slow down to a crawl, the line was rerouted west around that valley in 1881. The bridge was torn down in 1883, and the valley became the Tarrytown Reservoir. The railroad ran through the Rockefeller property. In 1928, John D. Rockefeller Jr. negotiated with New York Central Railroad to relocate the line to along the Saw Mill River, costing $200,000, which Rockefeller Jr. paid.

The Stone Barns agricultural center in Pocantico Hills was established in 2003 to demonstrate multi-cultural, self-sustaining farming techniques; it is host to the Blue Hill restaurant, a high-end eatery which features foodstuffs grown (or raised) on the Stone Barns property.
