Tucked away in the heart of the Catskills, this extraordinary estate on 5.3 acres is more than just a home—it’s a legacy. Owned and cherished by the same family for over 40 years, the property has been lovingly expanded and restored to create a one-of-a-kind country compound that seamlessly blends 19th-century charm with modern-day comfort.
the main house
At its heart stands a beautifully preserved 1870 farmhouse, where you’re welcomed by a soaring chef’s kitchen with cathedral ceilings, granite countertops, high-end appliances, and a walk-in pantry.
Designed for both entertaining and relaxation, the first floor offers a spacious living room, and a cozy family room complete with a gas fireplace. An en-suite bedroom with its own heated porch and private deck invites peaceful mornings and quiet evenings in nature.
Throughout the home, craftsmanship takes center stage—five unique hardwoods grace the floors, while three more define the ceilings, creating a rich, warm palette that changes from room to room. French doors, solid hardwood accents, and multiple skylights fill the space with light and character. There’s even a centrally located sauna, offering a spa-like escape within your own walls.
Upstairs, the second floor includes three additional bedrooms and a full bath, while the third-floor bedroom opens onto a private balcony—perfect for stargazing or morning coffee with a view.
But the magic of this estate extends well beyond the main house...
the recording studio
Step outside to your own state-of-the-art recording studio, fully equipped with a kitchen, full bath, and an upstairs lounge—ideal for artists, producers, or anyone dreaming of a creative retreat. This versatile building could also be converted into a separate guest home while maintaining the property's cohesive style.
A few steps away, a private home office offers the perfect remote work sanctuary.
The apartment building
Near the recoding studio, an additional building houses two charming one-bedroom apartments, a four-bay garage, and a full workshop—making the property as practical as it is luxurious.
inground pool and pool house
And then there's the showstopper: a stunning 20' x 40' in-ground pool, complete with a heated pool house and changing room.
rustic cabin
Surrounded by expansive, meticulously tended gardens, you’ll find a rustic storage cabin with an attached deck where you can take in sweeping mountain views.
frontage on the Esopus creek
Across the road, a .6-acre parcel offers private access to the Esopus Creek—your own riverside escape.
Located just five minutes from Phoenicia, twenty minutes to Woodstock, and thirty minutes from Kingston, Belleayre, and Hunter Mountain, this property is perfectly positioned for year-round adventure. Whether you're hiking the Ashokan Rail Trail, skiing in the winter, or simply enjoying one of the country’s most breathtaking natural landscapes, this is the best of Catskills living.
For those seeking a luxurious, multi-generational retreat, an artist’s dream compound, or even a fully outfitted commercial studio, this property offers an unparalleled opportunity.
