Property Description
Discover one of the most remarkable and rare offerings in the Catskill Mountains. This stunning 19.6-acre Victorian estate is steeped in history and natural beauty and is bordered by over 65 acres of NYC protected property on 2 sides. Originally built by a duchess as her summer retreat, this lovingly maintained turn-of-the-century property now offers a unique opportunity to own a slice of Catskills paradise with sweeping panoramic mountain views, direct waterfront access, and modern comforts seamlessly integrated into period elegance.The distinguished main residence boasts over 4,000 square feet of living space, featuring 6+ bedrooms and 4.5 baths. Original refinished inlaid hardwood floors, striking coffered ceilings, 13-foot ceilings, and multiple parlors set the tone for gracious living. Then you have the eat-in kitchen that opens to a bluestone patio, which sets the stage for unforgettable entertaining—with the mountains providing the perfect backdrop for al fresco dining. A brand-new spa wing includes a steam shower, infrared sauna, and radiant-heated floors, ideal for year-round luxury. And with a whole-house generator already installed, you'll enjoy peace of mind no matter the season. Outside, the grounds are a true showstopper: mature landscaping frames the home beautifully, complemented by professionally designed bluestone tiered retaining walls and patios that create multiple outdoor spaces for entertaining, relaxing, sitting by of the 2 firepits or soaking in the views. Enjoy a serene private pond for kayaking or fishing, a heated saline pool, and a walking meditation labyrinth—an idyllic setting for personal retreat or boutique hospitality. The estate also includes two guest cottages, one fully renovated and rental-ready and another awaiting your creative touch, as well as a magnificent barn primed for restoration into an event venue, horse stables, or studio space. With 800 feet of road frontage, this property offers rare development potential, whether you envision a family compound, vacation rental business, or private resort, or whatever untapped potential you can dream of. Located just minutes from Hunter Mountain, Tannersville, Kaaterskill Falls, and Windham, and within easy reach of Woodstock, Saugerties, and NYC, this property is a dream come true for outdoor lovers, artists, entrepreneurs, and anyone seeking a life less ordinary.
