A big budget means a big house and a big choice: Go with walkable living in the suburbs or embrace the upscale farm life in horse country?

Buyers at either end of the spectrum will find plenty to like in these two listings. For in-town devotees, the large Tudor in the Fox Meadow section offers proximity to all Scarsdale schools and the town’s bustling downtown. The home features architectural details like leaded windows, an oak staircase, and intricately detailed millwork, along with outdoor amenities that include a complex of patios, landscaped gardens, and level lawns.

Buyers seeking far more than a lawn for outdoor space will love the 29 acres surrounding this Bedford Colonial. The property shines with large maples, specimen-flowering trees, gardens, and original stone walls and includes a tennis court, basketball court, stone potting/storage shed, and a detached three-bay garage. Bright and cheery is the vibe in the home, which boasts myriad French doors and tall windows, custom built-ins, fireplaces, and several terraces.
