Situated on a sprawling wooded ridge at the confluence of the Allegheny and Clarion rivers, Six Senses RiverStone Estate will mark the next chapter in one of the region’s cultural and architectural treasures.
Marking the latest milestone in the brand’s thoughtful entry into the Americas market, this picturesque country estate will echo the Six Senses ethos of wellness and sustainability, while offering guests and owners a community for connection and reflection.
Located outside the quaint Western Pennsylvania town of Foxburg, just 90 minutes north of Pittsburgh, the property is in close proximity to three private airports and a quick getaway from Cleveland, Chicago, Philadelphia and New York.
Anchored by a majestic three-story stone mansion carefully restored by the estate’s former owner, the late Dr. Art Steffee, the resort’s 77 new guest rooms will be woven into the contours of the 1,200-acre estate, with over 50 miles of trails and 7 miles of riverfront, threading together a rich heritage with a visionary masterplan. Forty branded residences will provide the bespoke lifestyle of a private country home with the benefits of a world-class service team and year-round adventures.
Neil Jacobs, CEO, Six Senses, which is part of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio, said, “Beyond memories, guests want more purpose and a greater takeaway from their stay. We are very thoughtful about the art, and often the science, of exceptional experiences based on emotional hospitality. Six Senses RiverStone Estate will provide an enchanting canvas for new layers of wellness programming, creative cuisine, meaningful connections, and leaps of faith into new discoveries.”
The story will begin at the property’s sprawling 13,000 square-foot stone mansion, first constructed in the 1820’s as a summer home for the descendants of George Fox, after whom the nearby town of Foxburg is named. The mansion will be further enhanced to serve as a centrepiece for the property, alongside a Victorian carriage house designed by renowned Philadelphia architect Frank Furness.
Guestrooms and cottages blend an off-grid vibe with all the luxurious amenities for a sound night’s sleep, offering space and seclusion whether under a canopy of trees or atop the riverbank. The branded residences will echo similar warm, uncluttered, and sustainable living. While the comforts are modern, the ethos remains slow life, to unwind and find time for leisurely hiking, biking and foraging.
Saji Daniel said, “Six Senses RiverStone Estate will be a peaceful refuge for guests to experience mental, physical and spiritual connection. We are stewards of the property for generations to come and share in the Six Senses ethos of sustainability, nurturing and conserving land, and revitalizing the Foxburg community. After spending time on this magical property, we knew we needed to share it with the world.”
