"Marienruh", aka "Valeur", was purchased in 1868 by Louis Augustus Ehlers, the landscape gardener who designed the grounds of Ferncliff. Ehlers' designed landscape for Marienruh has subsequently been altered, and his estate house was demolished in 1908. The present mansion is the second main house on the property. Built in the 1920s for Prince Obolensky and his wife Alice Astor, the Georgian house is oriented to take advantage of the long view to the south across Astor Cove, a view now blocked by forest growth.
