About this property

Magical, 75 Acre Winter Retreat with Private Icy Pond and Cedar Hot Tub

Watch the sunrise from the master bedroom, and watch the sunset from your deck. This sweet 1600 square foot ranch house has a large private pond steps from the house, mowed paths around snowy hay fields, and marked trails through the forest.

Excellent location in upstate New York - Two hours north of NYC. 15 minutes from Catamount Mountain (skiing! tubing!); 30 minutes from Great Barrington, and 20 minutes from Hudson.

There is a large working fireplace with a hearth in the living room. There is a small, but fully equipped kitchen with an electric stove, living and dining areas (including a working fireplace for winter months), three bedrooms, and 1.5 baths.

The three bedrooms are:
A Master bedroom with a king-size bed and private ½ bath;
A second bedroom with a full-size bed and sliding doors directly onto the deck;
A guest bedroom (also with sliding doors onto the deck) with a single daybed that pulls out into a king-size one.

And finally, the icing on the cake: There is a gorgeous 400 square foot music studio with an upright Steinway piano, radiant heat cherry-wood floors and an aerial hammock.

The cedar hot tub at the edge of the 40 foot deck is chemical free, instead using an ionizer and oxygenator to stay clean.

Walk around the pond in the snow, or walk the fields and paths through the woods.

No pets. Non-smokers only. We have no microwave, TV, or toaster. There is WiFi. Tenants supply their own sheets for two of the bedrooms, and towels. There is a Hannaford 10 minutes away for easy groceries, and a quaint dairy 7 minutes away where you can visit animals and buy raw milk and meat. The delicious West Tagkanic Diner is 5 minutes away. So, things are close, but you get to feel as though you're out in the middle of nowhere (which you also are!).

I would love to find someone who will care for this as if it were their own.

If you’re interested, we’ll set up a video tour and conversation!

Hi there. I live here in Ancram full time since 2021, but I have been coming to this area for twenty years. I adore it. I love sharing the land and space with other nature-appreciators.

Why they chose this property

I love the quiet. The red-winged blackbirds who live here around the pond and return year after year. The frozen, crunchy grass in wintertime. The spaciousness. The vast expansive visibility of the sky.
