Property Description
Stretching across the top of 29 wildflower-blanketed acres on the southern ridge of Winchell Mountain, w/commanding Catskills views, lies High View Farm. Inspired by the rolling farmland & expansive blue skies of this very special part of the Hudson Valley, the Architectural & Interior Design duo HallidayGreer collaborated with Architect Graydon Yearick & LaGuardia Design Group Landscape Architects to create a one-of-a-kind living experience. Using sustainable natural materials & state-of-the-art building technology, High View Farm is a perfect synthesis of contemporary modernism & rural barn. Working primarily with local artisans, they have created the ultimate combination of comfort & understated luxury. Relying on the endless power of the sun & the constant, cool temperature of geothermal energy they've realized a passive, architecturally-inspired EcoLux compound that will excite and endure for generations. The 5900 sf, 5 BR/5 BA main house has 3 primary suites and 2 additional ensuite guest rooms. The baths are all appointed with Waterworks fixtures & custom cabinets. The bedrooms, all with spectacular views, are generously proportioned with custom millwork closets with oak interiors. The kitchen is a chef's dream with an AGA Mercury induction stove, a Thermador fridge, an appliance pantry, 2 dishwashers, full butler's pantry with wine refrigeration, and a Miele integrated coffee system. The great room has a masonry fireplace & dining for 14 people. The ground floor has a Tonal Smart personal training machine, free weights, a yoga/stretching area, surround-sound cinema, and a cedar sauna. The piece-de-resistance is the four season indoor/outdoor room with a wood-burning fireplace-a dream for entertaining in a country home. The 50x11ft. saltwater gunite infinity pool, w/sun-shelf & tub spa, overlooks Stissing Mtn. and has a pool house with a ''live'' green roof, full kitchen & bath, & lounge/sleeping area. It's united to the pool by floor-to-ceiling sliding glass panel doors running the length of the pool. A lovely fire pit area for cooler summer & autumn evenings is just past the pool and up the ridge from the built-in BBQ. Closer to the main house, with its own wood-burning built-in BBQ, is the Maple Grove; another idyllic outdoor moment for more elaborate summer parties & alfresco dining. There are 2 add'l structures on the property. First, a 30x40 mortice & tenon barn w/pine & oak hand-hewn beams assembled by local Connecticut barn builders, with room for 2 cars, and a hayloft easily convertible to additional living space. Second, an atmospheric potting shed, inspired by an outbuilding on the grounds of the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton, NY made of pine & clad with perforated stainless steel...a sculptural solution to a utilitarian need. Among the many eco-lux features are fumed white oak wide plank flooring, radiant floor heating, forced geothermal cooling to maintain absolute climate control, ultra-efficient top-quality windows throughout, sustainable radiata pine Abodo siding, and an aesthetically pleasing Tesla solar tile roof that generates almost 20KW of electricity-enough to power the whole property. It also has smart home features like programmable solar roof power generation distribution control, 3 car-charging connections, remote-controlled audio sound system, landscape lighting, window shades, security cameras & automated entry gates. The home comes fully furnished w/bespoke soft furnishings, and fully outfitted, from luxurious sheets to elegant knife sets, all displaying the designers' impeccable style. The interiors blend European & American classical, modernist, & contemporary pieces (primarily sourced from local antique dealers & Hudson Valley craftsmen) in a palette that reflects the rich colors & textures of the surrounding landscape. High View Farm is a homage to the rich history and diversity of the area's rural farming community with an equally engaged commitment to the future
