An early 19th-century New York church has been transformed into a breathtaking residence nestled on thirty-seven acres of gently rolling fields, woodlands, and trails at the base of the Catskill Mountains. Inside, the c. 1837 timber frame showcases expansive ceilings and beautifully exposed hand-hewn beams. Elegant white oak floors complement floor-to-ceiling windows that adorn the lime-washed walls. A charming library, complete with exquisite custom bookshelves, is located in the cupola, while a temperature-controlled wine room, capable of holding over 600 bottles, is cleverly concealed beneath the stairwell and accessed through striking steel doors.
Realtor Comments
A gas fireplace grounds the large seating area, which looks into the open chef’s kitchen. The space is fabulous for entertaining. In the kitchen there is a 48” AGA induction range, a large center island, and the walk-in pantry houses a second sink and expertly hides the paneled refrigerator. The primary suite has a wing of its own. It is big and bright and like the rest of the house it looks out onto the dramatic mountain view. The primary bath has a large wet room with two showers and a soaking tub, the hardware is beautiful, heavy unlacquered brass. In the opposite wing are two spacious guest rooms, a bunk room with four sweet & custom built-in bunks, and an incredible full bath with a double vanity and radiant heat. A home office space is perched on the third floor with a separate staircase, it is nicely and intentionally tucked in for privacy and quiet. The house is built into the hillside, the lower level is light filled and walk-out and there you’ll find a family/media room, a wet bar, and a gorgeous laundry room with two washer/dryers, a farmhouse sink and lots of storage. Outside, you’re completely immersed in nature with nearly forty acres to explore. Find streams and waterfalls, trails wind through the woods. Potter Mountain is a fabulous retreat for those wanting peace and quiet, but you’re also close to hiking, farm-to-table dining, and Windham Mountain Club is right down the road. Just over 2h to NYC, a furniture package is available.
