Escape to The Birchwood Estate and prepare to be awestruck. A 77-acre paradise that redefines Mountain Luxury. Nestled amidst the seven mightiest peaks of The Catskills, this secluded haven boasts jaw-dropping vistas of iconic Indian Head, Sugarloaf, Twin, Plateau, and Hunter Mountains, with close to a mile of thrilling rapids along the Schoharie Creek as your personal soundtrack. This breathtaking retreat is just 20 minutes from Woodstock and a swift two-hour journey from midtown Manhattan. The star of the show, a 6,000sf Adirondack masterpiece, reborn from an 18th-century Canadian Barn, meticulously reconstructed beam-by-beam. Step inside to soaring 25-foot vaulted ceilings clad in rare mushroom wood, reclaimed floors that whisper history, and custom French doors that open to wraparound mountain panoramas. This is architectural perfection think Hamptons-level opulence with Catskills soul crafted with exquisite restraint. Unique touches dazzle with stucco walls plastered by Jean-Michel Basquiat's assistant and hand-forged hardware that's pure artistry. Wander the grounds, where birch forests, wildflower meadows, and vibrant gardens paint a scene so stunning it stands alone as one of New Yorks most spectacular properties. Then, descend to a second world: a cherry-and-mahogany Japanese tea house cantilevered over the Schoharie Creek. Slide open the glass walls to Plateau Mountain downstream and a rock-strewn rapids upstream. A mile private trail unfurls along the trout-rich creek creating your own slice of wilderness. The estate doesn't stop there. Guests will love the tower hideaway with its valley-wide views, or its stunning observation deck with twenty-mile views. Dive into a 12-foot swimming pond, find Zen in the yoga pavilion perched above a 20-foot waterfall, or cozy up by the grand stone fireplace in the main house. A charming horse barn with a bountiful vegetable garden flaunts raised beds, hinged greenhouse tops, and fruit trees. This isn't just a property; it's a love letter to nature and craftsmanship, poured into every detail since 2005. Five distinct structures dot the landscape, from the glass-walled main house on its regal knoll to the streamside stunner with its rapids-and-mountain drama. All wrapped in high-end rustic elegance and custom detail that blurs the line between indoors and out. Minutes from Woodstock, Saugerties, and Hunter Mountain skiing, Birchwood Estate is a rare chance to own the Catskills' most unforgettable retreat.
