About This Property
The Great Escape Estate is a majestic 415-acre retreat only two and
a half hour drive from New York City. Located deep in the beautiful
and unpopulated Millbrook Valley adjoining thousands of acres of
protected Forever Wild State Forest mountain-lands ensuring a wild
buffer in the center of Catskill Mountains State Park. This
well-maintained 100-year-old classic farmhouse features 5 bedrooms
and a large finished-attic bunkroom for kids and guests. Imagine
sitting on the porch in a rocking chair overlooking the 2 acre pond
and admiring the sunset over thousands of uninhabited acres of
protected forested mountains. On a hot summer day you can swim or
go fishing for bass in the pond just a few steps away from the main
house. The well-preserved post and beam dairy-barn is 170 years old
and a separate barn has a 12 stall stable with an indoor riding
arena. There are a dozen other outbuilding and turnouts for the
farm and ranch operation.Your Millbrook Valley neighbors are the
exclusive Tuscarora Club Hunting and Fishing Preserve and a couple
of dairy and livestock farms. The stunningly bucolic Millbrook
Valley is also buffered on both sides by the Rockefeller Family in
the Beaverkill Valley to the south and the Jay Gould Family in the
Drybrook Valley to the North with large private land holdings,
state forests, and watershed preserves. The huge Pepacton Reservoir
supplying New York City water is at the foot of the valley
providing fishing, canoeing kayaking and rowboat recreation.With
your own secluded safe-haven you can escape into privacy without
gates, locks or neighbors and enjoy the 360 degree views to
mountains as far as the eye can see. The property includes its own
private mountain with a spectacular vista-plateau at the 3200 foot
elevation. Located at the end of a mile long driveway you are the
sole inhabitant on this town maintained road. It can best be
described as a splendid and natural sanctuary surrounded by
colonial wilderness. A sustainable organic farm operation is
underway on the property with a resident farm manager and caretaker
on premises.The property has miles of stonewalls and you can ride
for hours on the groomed trails. Multiple streams and seasonal
waterfalls traverse the landscape and offer the opportunity of
supplemental hydro-power with the significant elevation drop. A
powerful natural spring feeds a 2000 gallon concrete reservoir
providing you with clean and tasty drinking water for the house and
barn with plenty of additional capacity.Needless to say this very
rare large acreage estate in this special location will support any
lifestyle from the most elaborate to the humble and back to nature.
You can build your own dream house of whatever size and style or
simply move into the existing classic farmhouse and call it your
country home. A creative developer will surely find this property
interesting since it's located only 15 minutes from Belleayre Ski
Center and 25 minutes from Woodstock.
