Birchwood Mountain Estate
Hunter New York
$9,850,000
Arguably the most spectacular mountain property in New York State, this totally private 76–acre estate, surrounded by seven of the highest peaks in the Catskills, fronts rapids on the Schoharie Creek. The 18th century post-and-beam Adirondack-style main house, reconstructed beam-by-beam from a Canadian barn, features 25 ft vaulted mushroom-wood ceilings, reclaimed wood floors, custom-built French doors, floor-to-ceiling windows, wrap-around views of spectacular mountain peaks and the highest level of spare-no-expense architecture – all executed in the most restrained and sophisticated taste.
Other features include; an old horse barn, a well-appointed guest house, a swimming pond, an exercise pavilion/yoga studio perched on top of a waterfall and a Japanese tea/guest house hanging over the roaring creek. Seeing is believing in this one-of-a-kind natural retreat.
