Tucked away on 7.6 acres of pristine, landscaped beauty, this extraordinary contemporary estate offers the rarest of luxuries — total privacy, breathtaking scenery, and your own spring-fed pond, an acre and a half in size and approximately 20 feet deep, teeming with Japanese Koi, bass, grass carp, and turtles. This is more than a home — it's a retreat for the senses.
From the moment you arrive, the attention to detail is unmistakable. Thoughtfully expanded and refined since its original 1973 construction, the residence has been carefully curated for comfort and style. The dining room, entry, primary suite, and lower level were added in 1990, followed by a den in 2000. 2024-2025 enhancements include a renovated primary bath, elegant new half bath, Pond Room with stunning views, new kitchen appliances, a full exterior repaint, new glass-paneled exterior doors, and a charming stone walkway.
Multiple outdoor living spaces invite year-round enjoyment — a wraparound upper deck perfect for morning coffee overlooking the water, a covered lower deck ideal for summer gatherings, and an open-air hot tub area under the stars. Wildlife is a constant companion, from herons gliding across the pond to deer grazing at dusk.
Just 10-15 minutes from the historic river towns of Catskill, Athens, Coxsackie, and Hudson, this is a property for those who value serenity without sacrificing proximity to fine dining, art galleries, theater, and boutique shopping. Here, every day feels like a getaway.
