Property Description
Situated at the top of a private lane just outside the hamlet of Spencertown, sits a 14-acre sanctuary offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape with the majestic Catskill peaks in the distance. Wildflower meadows and lush gardens provide three seasons of color while an ecologically designed swimming pond, frame the home, complete with stone patios and porches - all to take in the beautiful Catskills. Stepping through the front door of a wide covered front porch, you'll find an open plan kitchen, dining & living room - the heart of the home, made cozy in winter by an efficient wood stove. The first floor also includes a mud room, office, powder room, laundry room and den. However, it is the 600 sq ft ''Great Room'', with windows on 3 sides that immerse you in the ever-shifting displays of nature and the Catskill range. Upstairs you'll find 3 generous sized bedrooms and 2 full baths including a primary suite with walk-in closet room. The pond, designed by famed UK pool master Anthony Archer-Wills, provides an unparalleled natural swimming experience, set among a chorus of frogs and dragonfly's dancing across the water. A variety of colorful waterlilies and other pond plantings keep to keep the water fresh and inviting. Renovated throughout in 2024-2025, this solar powered home offers you privacy, comfort and jaw dropping sunsets. Conveniently located 10 minutes from Chatham, 30 minutes to the train in Hudson, 40 minutes to the Albany Airport and 25 minutes to Great Barrington & all the culture and fun that our neighboring Berkshires offer. Broker Owned.
