6 bed/5 bath - 8,600 sqft
Nestled amidst the seven mightiest peaks of the Catskills, this secluded haven boasts jaw-dropping vistas of iconic Indian Head, Sugarloaf, Twin, Plateau, and Hunter Mountains, with close to a mile of thrilling rapids along the Schoharie Creek as your personal soundtrack
The star of the show? A 6,000-square-foot Adirondack masterpiece, reborn from an 18th-century Canadian barn, meticulously reconstructed beam-by-beam.
Wander the grounds, where birch forests, wildflower meadows, and vibrant gardens paint a scene so stunning it stands alone as one of New York States most spectacular properties. Then, descend to a second world: a cherry-and-mahogany Japanese tea house cantilevered over the roaring Schoharie Creek. Slide open the glass walls to drink in Plateau Mountain downstream and a symphony of rock-strewn rapids upstream. A ¾-mile private trail unfurls along the trout-rich creek—your own slice of wilderness where solitude reigns supreme.
The estate doesn't stop there. A charming horse barn hides sleek solar panels, while a bountiful vegetable garden flaunts raised beds, hinged greenhouse tops, and self-watering wizardry. Guests will clamor for the tower hideaway with its valley-wide views, or its stunning observation deck with twenty-mile views. Dive into a 12-foot swimming pond, find Zen in the yoga pavilion perched above a 20-foot waterfall, or cozy up by the grand stone fireplace in the main house—radiant heat and thick walls make every season special.
