The Gate
The entrance to River House is not simply access—it is a statement. A custom-designed gate that defines arrival, privacy, and the beginning of something set apart from the world beyond.
The estate begins long before the lodge comes into view.
A one-of-a-kind design, built for scale, security, and presence
The main gate is a one-of-a-kind structure, custom designed by Harry Hasselbach. Spanning two lanes and rising over twenty feet in height, it is both substantial and refined—built to complement the scale and character of the estate it protects.
Designed for ease and control
When approaching from the outside, the gate can be opened through a secure keypad, a dedicated remote control, or integrated directly into your vehicle as a garage-style opener. Each method offers convenience without compromising privacy or security.
Departure is automatic, intuitive, and uninterrupted.
You won't want to leave, but when leaving the property, an underground sensor detects approaching vehicles and opens the gate automatically, allowing for a smooth and uninterrupted exit experience without the need for manual input.
Functional details that make arrival feel effortless.
Designed to remain functional.
A built-in battery backup keeps the electric gate operational for days in the event of a power outage, helping maintain both access and security regardless of external conditions.
Flexible access for the right people.
Special codes can be created for emergency entrance, service providers, guests, or other approved access needs. License plate recognition is also available as an optional enhancement.
A presence that remains after dark.
The gate includes programmable gas and electric lighting on the inbound side, with electric lighting on the outbound side, creating a defined and welcoming arrival experience.
