Aston Martin, the British automaker, is known for producing some high-end equipment, mainly vehicles. One of the most famous creations happens to be a car from the James Bond Goldfinger movie, the only vehicle with working components fit for a slick spy like 007. 

However, you’ll find more masterpieces from the automaker. The newest creation is a mansion known as the Sylvan Rock, which resides in Milan, New York, on a 55-acre lot. This 8,430 square foot home has a total of four bedrooms with four full and two half bathrooms. Building materials include massive timber beams, energy-efficient windows, and laminated roof panels. 

On the interior, Aston Martin used wood, metals, and leather of the highest quality to give it a palace ambiance. Besides the bedrooms and bathrooms, it offers a den, a home office, and a kitchen, trimmed in all-black and transitioning into the family room. 

Aston Martin continues the design with the outbuildings

The main home is a work of art, for sure, but the lot has more buildings to explore. Of course, a home of this size has to have a pool, but this one comes with a pool house and spa and an outdoor kitchen area, great for entertaining big-name celebrities, which would make it well worth the $8.25 million price tag. 

There’s also a wellness pavilion dedicated to keeping the owners healthy, both physically and mentally. A sauna is nearby for relaxation and good blood flow, and there’s also what’s called a food garden, which is simply a garden, but an exceptional one at that. 

On the property is a three-car garage, with a wine cellar and lounge underneath. Glass is installed so you can ogle your luxury vehicles while you sip your wine and chat with friends. From there, a 2,000-foot driveway winds past some old-growth trees and near some rock formations as it leads up to the garage. For guests who stay for a while, there are a few extra “pods” so they can kick back and enjoy some time alone. 

What are the automaker’s future real estate plans?

Aston Martin wants to expand its luxury brand into a whole new world of innovative design. With a century of automobile production under its belt, adding a new repertoire to its portfolio isn’t such a bad idea, especially since it’s in real estate. 

Whether we’ll see more creations from the automaker, it looks like the answer is a resounding yes. The company is already working on a new design, which is a 70-story complex located in Miami. You’ll also see five new penthouses coming soon in the financial district of New York, a project the company is partnering with Sir David Adjaye on. 

The movie character, James Bond, made quite a few vehicles famous during the filming of the 007 spy movies, some of them being masterpieces created by Aston Martin. That high-quality, luxury design can now be seen in multimillion-dollar homes as well.
