Property Description
Welcome to Skyfields, a serene 42-acre sanctuary perched on a hilltop in East Chatham, offering far-reaching panoramic views of the Catskills, Berkshires, and surrounding pastoral valleys. This private retreat blends wooded seclusion with open country landscapes, featuring a charming main residence, a cozy guest cottage, and a versatile barn/garageâ€''all thoughtfully updated and positioned for ultimate tranquility. This post-and-beam, 1.5-story home, constructed in 1976, spans approximately 2,200 square feet with three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms in the main house. The open layout emphasizes natural light through insulated casement windows with screens, complemented by sheetrock walls and a mix of functional spaces ideal for modern living. The 1996 barn/garage adds valuable versatility, including a spacious studio loft currently serving as a music space, along with an attached fitness room perfect for workouts or hobbies. A separate 1963 guest cottage provides one bedroom and one bathroom, offering private accommodations for visitors or extended family. Functional enhancements abound, with all major appliances newly purchased in 2024, including a refrigerator, induction range with oven, dishwasher, washer, and dryer. The efficient heating system combines forced hot air, in-floor radiant heat, and Rinnai propane units, fueled by oil and propane, while a 200-amp electrical service, private well, and septic system ensure reliable utilities. Additional features like the dry full/partial basement and metal roof contribute to the property's low-maintenance appeal. The expansive outdoor space is a nature lover's paradise, featuring sweeping views of mountains and valleys from a private hilltop setting. The property boasts a thriving vegetable and flower garden, perfect for gardening enthusiasts, complemented by porch and deck options ideal for soaking in the natural beauty. Located in the heart of Columbia County, this haven is close to beloved local attractions such as Tanglewood for music, Art OMI for contemporary art, Hudson's antique shops, PS21 Center for Contemporary Performance, Shakespeare & Co. theater, and numerous hiking trails in the surrounding state forests.
