Description

Perched high on nearly 38 breathtaking acres with sweeping Catskill Mountain views, this exceptional contemporary farmhouse offers the perfect balance of luxury, privacy, and natural beauty. Tucked away along a scenic country road in Acra, New York, the property delivers a rare opportunity to own a peaceful mountain retreat while remaining just minutes from the vibrant four-season destination of Windham, New York. The 38-acre offering is comprised of three separate parcels, two of which present additional building opportunities—ideal for expansion, guest homes, or investment potential. Built in 2008, the sun-drenched home features approximately 2,800+ square feet of thoughtfully designed living space with three bedrooms and two full baths. Inside, warm natural finishes, radiant heat, central air, and a striking wood-burning fireplace create an inviting atmosphere that blends rustic charm with modern comfort. Expansive windows frame the surrounding landscape, bringing the beauty of the mountains indoors. The heart of the home flows seamlessly from the living area into the kitchen and dining spaces, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Step outside to a spacious deck, enclosed porch, and beautifully crafted bluestone patio—perfect for relaxing, dining, and taking in panoramic views that stretch across rolling hills and forested ridgelines. The expansive acreage offers endless possibilities. Private trails wind through the property, perfect for hiking, ATV riding, horseback riding, or simply exploring your own secluded woodland escape. Equestrian and outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the one-acre enclosed paddock, along with a picturesque koi pond reaching depths of approximately 20 feet, adding to the property's serene and natural setting. A classic barn, and additional outbuildings provide flexibility for hobbies, equipment, animals, or creative pursuits. Ideally located just 20 minutes to Hudson Amtrak and 15 minutes to the NYS Thruway, and a short drive from skiing at Windham Mountain Club, this remarkable property captures the essence of Catskills living peaceful, scenic, and effortlessly elegant. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, weekend escape, or legacy retreat, this one-of-a-kind estate offers space, serenity, and unforgettable mountain views.
