Philipsburg Manor is a historic house, water mill, and trading site located in Sleepy Hollow, New York.

He built Philipsburg Manor at the confluence of the Pocantico and Hudson Rivers, creating it as a provisioning plantation for the Atlantic sea trade and as headquarters for a world-wide shipping operation.
