Originally built in 1924 as a Scottish hunting lodge, the 8,000-square-foot estate in Hillsdale, NY sits on 125 acres—once part of a sprawling 3,000-acre property.
When Goggins ("The Righteous Gemstones," "The Hateful Eight," "White Lotus") and his wife, Nadia Conners, purchased the home sometime after the COVID pandemic, it had been untouched for nearly a century, with every system on the verge of failure, he said.
"We learned so much about ourselves and what it takes to bring a house back to life," he said during the AD tour shared to YouTube. "And we’re better for it because it’s literally the place we want to be for the rest of our lives."
Goggins, whose family moved to NY from Los Angeles and spent much of 2024 filming "White Lotus" in Thailand, was determined to preserve the home’s original aesthetic, assembling a team of experts, including interior architect Shawn Henderson, to help reconstruct the space while maintaining its original charm.
"Like making a movie—an actor doesn’t make a movie, a director doesn’t make a movie. A team of people show up every day and pour their hearts into it," he said.
His attention to detail is evident in his 28-year art collection, hand-picked light fixtures, and an unwavering commitment to ensuring the lodge feels as it did a century ago.
The lodge features several uniquely restored rooms, each telling a story of its past:
- The Gun Room – Originally a place to store firearms before hunting excursions, Goggins keeps a gun from "The Hateful Eight," gifted by Samuel L. Jackson, on display.
- The Prohibition Bar – Formerly a linen closet, this hidden bar was once used to stash liquor for guests during Prohibition. Goggins embraced the tradition, asking friends to sign the wall—a tribute to the importance of social gatherings in his home.
- The Living Room – His favorite room, where he and his family spend most of their time, overlooking the sunrise each morning.
- The Home Office – Created by combining three small bedrooms and a bathroom, the space is now his personal workspace.
Even the family dog enjoys the renovation efforts—Goggins repurposed an old velvet sofa into a dog bed in an attempt to keep the pup off the furniture.
"Didn’t work. She still sleeps on our sofa," he admitted.
Goggins has also embraced the lifestyle that comes with it—including skiing just 15 minutes away.
Since moving, both Goggins and his wife have shared many a photo from in and around their new home to Instagram, apparently taking great pride in being Hudson Valley residents. Many photos include a location tag or a nod to the Hudson Valley in the caption, like these:
On a Feb. 17 episode of Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast, Goggins shared his morning routine: "I drop my kid off at school, go skiing, do about 10 runs, and have a beer."
Between his historic home, morning ski runs, and spaces designed for both work and socializing, Goggins has created a sanctuary that honors the past while embracing the present—and now, he’s sharing it with the world.
Just after moving into the house, Goggins shared a photo by the fire alongside Conners, taken by his son.
"Our son took this photo (see his finger in the lower left) … 14 months since we made the decision to dramatically alter our lives geographically speaking… the River that’s flowed between the day we made that commitment and this day… our first night in the house with furniture… most of it unpacked… still can’t find shit… But… we borrowed a wine opener from a new friend… have fresh sheets from another new friend who with so much love washed them for us…and a fire… and wine and whiskey and painters tape and a 100 year old skeleton key in my pocket that must open something… but more than anything we have each other. And love. This key damn sure opened that. Our first fire."
