Located south of Garrison, New York, a short distance from the Bear Mountain Bridge, Manitoga was the estate and home of industrial designer Russel Wright. The home, studio and surrounding garden show Wright's ideas about what is good design and living in harmony with nature. Wright and his wife Mary bought the 75-acre property in 1942 and designed it with sustainability in mind, at the time a new concept. Wright redirected a mountain stream and designed a multi-level 30-foot waterfall and a swimming pond in an abandoned quarry pit. His woodland landscape design incorporated trees, streams, boulders, moss, native plants, stone steps, terraces and bridges. Manitoga includes four miles of walking trails. Guided tours of the house and landscape are offered May through early November.
