Extraordinary Catskill Mountain Business & Lifestyle Opportunity – 107 Acres
Natural Gardens, also known as The Ponds at Natural Gardens, is a rare 107-acre legacy estate in East Meredith, NY, set within the pristine Western Catskills. Defined by understated luxury and timeless “Rustic Elegance,” the property is a masterfully curated natural environment—thoughtfully shaped over decades—offering a level of beauty, balance, and provenance that cannot be recreated.
The estate unfolds across more than 20 spring-fed ponds, cascading brooks, waterfalls, interconnected by meandering paths, hand-crafted stone walls, and graceful bridges. Panoramic mountain and forest views frame a living landscape enriched by hundreds of plant varieties, including rare native orchids, trilliums, ferns, and lilies, forming a self-sustaining ecosystem of exceptional refinement.
Anchoring the property is a celebrated farm-to-table restaurant and craft brewery, offering elegant indoor and outdoor dining, and a culinary program rooted in seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. A beautifully appointed event space provides the capacity to host elevated celebrations, private retreats, and corporate gatherings. An established nursery and perennial plant business, complete with multiple greenhouses and mature growing areas.
Improvements include a restaurant, rustic chalet, an event center, gazebos, forested acreage, open meadows, and the potential for private lodging or a distinguished owner’s residence.
Proven income streams include:
• Restaurant, bar, and brewery
• Weddings, private events, and corporate retreats
• Nursery and plant sales
• Owner residence or guest accommodations
• Future boutique resort or wellness retreat development
Located approximately 2.5 hours from the George Washington Bridge, the estate offers rare seclusion and tranquility while remaining accessible to New York City’ clientele.
This is more than a property—it is an iconic Catskills landmark and a generational investment, offering an extraordinary opportunity. Ideal for investors, hospitality visionaries, and those seeking a refined estate with enduring income and lifestyle distinction.
