Property Description
Imagine a place where time slows, inviting you to breathe deeply, unwind, and reconnect with what truly matters. A retreat that could inspire the likes of Burroughs, Emerson, and Cole. Welcome to Ashokan Hideaway, a breathtaking 26+ acre estate where nature and elegance intertwine in perfect harmony, offering a Sanctuary of Serenity and Timeless Beauty. Tucked away at the end of a meandering wooded driveway, this secluded compound offers a charming guest cottage, tennis court, 1800s farmhouse, and an in-ground pool—all designed to delight the senses and nurture the soul. Step into a world of tranquility, where the gentle murmur of a crystal-clear stream weaves through the property, carrying with it a sense of peace that lingers in the air. This is more than a home—it's a sanctuary, an ethereal escape designed to heal, inspire, and offer a blank slate to create the life you've always envisioned for yourself.
A Home Steeped in History & Natural Beauty
The main house is a carefully crafted country retreat, expanded over time while still preserving its historic roots. With origins dating back to the late 1800s, the home seamlessly blends old-world charm with modern comfort. The farmhouse showcases hand-hewn post and beam construction, a magnificent stone fireplace sourced from the nearby Esopus Creek, and an expansive wall of windows that flood the space with natural light and stunning views. Beyond the farmhouse kitchen, a sun-drenched solarium leads to a sleek, vaulted addition with floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a warm and inviting space perfect for gathering, unwinding by the wood-burning stove, or finding inspiration at your writing desk overlooking the grounds.
Outside, a wrap-around stone porch adorned with a 50-year-old wisteria vine offers the perfect perch to witness picturesque sunrises and sunsets over the pond and surrounding forest. The landscape feels like an extension of the home, with lush gardens, scenic walking paths, and inviting sitting areas ideal for outdoor dining, quiet reflection, or simply soaking in the natural splendor.
An Intimate Retreat & Endless Possibilities.
For recreation and wellness, enjoy the regulation tennis court, various hiking trails, in ground pool, and the zen meditation area overlooking the stream and waterfall, all providing opportunities to engage both mind and body in this idyllic setting.
Nestled at the base of the driveway, an intimate guest cottage offers endless possibilities; an ideal space for visiting guests, an art studio, or a private office. A tranquil escape where creativity and relaxation flourish. This is not just a home; it's an experience, a way of life. A rare opportunity to step away from the chaos of the modern world and into a realm of peace, beauty, and to immerse yourself in nature.
At Ashokan Hideaway, you're invited to unplug, recharge, and immerse yourself in the ultimate Catskills retreat—a place where nature's rhythm sets the pace, and every moment is a reminder of life's simple luxuries.
