An All-Season Private Retreat with Mountain Views,

Tucked away in complete privacy and surrounded by 12.5 acres of pristine natural beauty, this extraordinary all-season retreat offers a rare blend of architectural artistry, refined craftsmanship, and serene mountain living. With peaceful winter and summer mountain views, the soothing sounds of a babbling stream, and direct access to untouched wilderness, this custom, owner-built Queen Anne Victorian–style home is truly one of a kind. Thoughtfully designed with countless hidden details and premium materials throughout, this estate offers a lifestyle of comfort, elegance, and enduring quality.

As you arrive, the setting immediately captivates—lush woodlands, mountain air, and total seclusion create a sense of escape from the outside world. Welcoming you home is an expansive wraparound front porch, where Brazilian Sapele flooring sets the tone for the craftsmanship found throughout. Pause for a moment on the two-person cedar bench swing, catching the breeze and savoring the silence, as nature surrounds you in every direction.

The tour begins through a Craftsman natural walnut front door with sidelights, opening into a home filled with warmth, light, and architectural drama. Sunlight pours into the stunning Great Room, where floor-to-ceiling windows rise to a breathtaking 30-foot ceiling. Crowning the space is a 9-foot octagonal turret adorned with five sunlit sidelights, creating a glowing centerpiece that adds warmth and ambiance throughout the colder seasons. Oversized 8-foot Andersen French doors lead directly to the deck, offering a seamless transition to outdoor living.

Designed with entertaining in mind, the chef’s kitchen is nothing short of spectacular. A multi-tiered 9-foot Carrara marble island comfortably seats four and serves as both a gathering space and a functional work surface. Complemented by Black Absolute granite countertops and premium Fisher & Paykel stainless steel appliances, the kitchen blends beauty and performance effortlessly. Storage is abundant, featuring a walk-in pantry and double sliding barn doors with custom shelving. Adding a unique and valuable touch is the custom Amish-made American Chestnut dining table, complete with storage window bench and chairs that seat fourteen—an included piece valued at $16,000.

The first-floor primary suite is a private sanctuary, offering comfort, sophistication, and thoughtful design. Two walk-in closets provide generous storage, while a custom red oak double-helix spiral staircase leads to a private loft-style office above. This office can also be accessed discreetly through the walk-in closet, offering flexibility and privacy for work or creative pursuits. The ensuite bath delivers a true spa experience, featuring a white marble vanity, a 6’ x 4’ custom tiled shower with built-in seating, four body sprays, and a ceiling-mounted rain shower. Complete your day by lighting candles, preparing your favorite beverage, and unwinding in the deep, heated Whirlpool tub—your personal retreat within the home.

Additional living spaces include a stunning library, highlighted by custom built-in shelving and window-seat storage, creating an inviting place to read, reflect, or relax. Imported porcelain tile flooring from France graces the foyer, kitchen, and mudroom, while rich 5-inch mahogany flooring enhances the library, dining room, and primary suite. Upstairs, the bedroom level features elegant 5-inch maple hardwood floors, continuing the theme of quality and refinement.

A true highlight of the home is the expansive 36’ x 32’ recreation room, offering endless possibilities for entertainment, hobbies, or relaxation. Featuring four storage dormers and a beautifully designed ceiling that adds depth and sophistication, this space stands out as both functional and visually striking.

The home is designed for year-round comfort with nine-zone radiant floor heating across all three levels (excluding the recreation room), paired with 9-foot ceilings throughout. The unfinished basement offers an additional 2,165 square feet, complete with sliding glass door egress—ideal for future expansion. Attic stairs accessed through a bedroom closet lead to an attic space with approximately 10-foot ceiling height, offering even more flexibility.

Infrastructure and systems were built to the highest standards. The 1,500-gallon septic system with oversized leach fields can accommodate a potential fifth bedroom with town approval. Exterior features include Cedar Shake Siding Perfection #1, stained and sealed with Olympic Elite, a Timberline Lifetime 50-year architectural roof, exterior LED perimeter lighting, illuminated driveway and bridge, and underground utilities. Electrical capacity is exceptional with 400-amp service, a 200-amp sub-feeder for future outbuildings, and multiple sub-panels throughout the home.

Additional highlights include a 310-foot-deep well with a 61-gallon Well-X-Trol tank, fenced dog run with water and drain, doggie door in the mudroom closet, a new first-floor AC compressor installed in June 2025, and a Moen FLO Flood Watch System that automatically shuts off water if a leak is detected. The home is fully wired with Cat 6 data cabling and RG6 coaxial wiring, and features multi-linked, hard-wired smoke and carbon monoxide detectors with battery backup on all levels. Several outbuildings further enhance functionality and storage.

The property borders 15,000 acres of Fahnestock State Park, providing direct access to protected land and endless outdoor recreation. The town is currently awaiting New York State approval to pave the road, adding future value. Conveniently located approximately 1.25 hours from Grand Central Station, and just minutes from Route 84 and Route 9, this estate offers seclusion without sacrificing accessibility.

With potential for subdivision into three additional lots (with town approval), this property also presents a rare opportunity to create a lasting family legacy. This is truly a must-see home to appreciate the depth of craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and natural beauty that define it.
