Property Description
With some of the most breathtaking, far-reaching views in the Hudson Valley--and undeniably among the finest in Columbia County--this extraordinary parcel all but beckons for a home of equal distinction, poised atop the region's highest summit. Here, the landscape unfolds in sweeping panoramas, demanding architecture that rises to meet its grandeur. The original owners shared this vision, yet chose to realize only the three stunning residences below, leaving this crown jewel awaiting its ultimate expression. Welcome to Bald Mountain Estate, an extraordinary private compound spanning 85 breathtaking acres overlooking the Hudson Valley and the Berkshire Hills. This four-building, ultra-contemporary estate epitomizes modern country luxury, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass walls and a steel infrastructure that creates a distinctive blend of rustic elegance and architectural sophistication. The open-concept main residence seamlessly integrates indoor-outdoor living and showcases three fireplaces, reclaimed wood floors, and a striking maple staircase. Nearby, two custom guest houses, a workshop, two serene ponds, and a stunning Gunite pool framed by dramatic stone walls complete the compound. Meandering hiking trails traverse the property, leading to the mountaintop and its breathtaking panoramic views of the Catskill, Berkshire, and Taconic Mountain Ranges. This elevated site also presents a magnificent opportunity for a new main residence, with the existing structures preserved as guest cottages. Ideally located equidistant to world-class dining and cultural attractions in both the Berkshires and the Hudson Valley--just 2.5 hours from NYC. Note that this offering includes MLS 20260461, 75 Upper Hollow Road, offered separately for 2 Mil, and if purchased with this property, priced at 1 Mil. 75 Upper Hollow has 193 acres, pond, and a 2-bed cabin. The 193 acres is contiguous to the Bald Mountain parcel. This additional property would make a lovely caretaker's compound
