'White Lotus' Star Restored This Hillsdale Hunting Lodge To Its Former Glory: Look Inside Walton Goggins is opening the doors to his enchanting 1920s lodge in the Hudson Valley, giving "Architectural Digest" an exclusive tour of the historically rich, thoughtfully restored estate he calls home. 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 s…
