Description
Extroardinary home in the sky where the bald eagles fly. With every color-drenched season to experience, this extraordinary estate is truly a year-round oasis on 77 almost untouched acres. Plenty of room to expand. The 6,000-sq ft, 6-bedroom, 4-1/2 bath main house of the estate, encompassing a dozen structures, sits on a Catskill mountain top with a view of almost 20 miles to the rising sun. Designed after taking down five barns to use the 200-year-old, hand-hewn timbers throughout construction, the house was its owner?s dream. I would not shy away from calling this the most unique home in the Catskills! The pool house with an indoor pool and spa, along with the main house, is heated geothermally and contains a kitchen, a stone fireplace, a full gym upstairs ... and even a steam shower. Outside is a stone barbeque and party gazebo under hanging wisteria. The property is softly surrounded by beautifully-kept lawns and selected species of bushes, flowers and trees?bordered on three sides by New York City and New York State land which ensures your privacy forever! There?s even a pond. Guests can have their choice of a whimsical Hansel-and-Gretel cabin, a cozy cottage in the woods or two guest apartments above the garages. There is also a tennis court and a separate barn-timbered building that can be used for meetings, event space or even a sports activity center for children. Plus, there?s a two-bedroom caretaker house with the possibility of an experienced caretaker staying on. The estate is pretty self-sufficient: including a water distribution/filtering station, a solar field (reducing the electric bill) and multiple backup propane generators. The healing beauty of the Catskill mountain scenery and clean, fresh air has been a destination for two hundred years; there are so many opportunities for hiking and nature walks right outside your door?not to mention lakes, rivers, fishing in the Rondout reservoir and hundreds of miles of hiking trails in the surrounding mountains.Rarely do you find such a spectacular property
