Introducing High Point Estate. The ultimate merger of rustic & refined! Welcome to an ideal country estate to entertain in, go glamping on your 300 groomed and forested acres and then gather a group to binge-watch Yellowstone (there are definite Dutton Ranch vibes). The centerpiece is an 8800 SF stylishly updated 1895 Greek Revival farmhouse whose interior has been expanded and re-imagined as one of the grand Adirondack-style luxury lodge compounds of the Gilded Age. Iconic vaulted ceilings, birch walls, exposed beams, soaring native stone fireplaces, and spectacular antler chandeliers mirror the idyllic setting. Infinite opportunities for fresh air fun: groomed trails for hiking, horseback riding or snowmobiling and then kayaking, swimming and fishing in the pristine, man-made stocked pondwith massive stone diving board--only steps from the house. A spectacular Morton-designed red barn complex houses 8 horse stalls, massive tack room, comfy lounge and hay loft with 1700 bale storage. Also encompasses a massive heated machine shop. Adjacent is a 100 X 200' custom indoor riding arena with bath and storage and solar panels. This Great Escape is only 20 minutes to the cultural hub of Albany, with easy jaunts to Saratoga, Lake George, the Adirondacks, Catskills, and, of course, NYC. Your commute made even easier as there's ample space for helicopter or aircraft runway! The 5 bedroom 4.2 bath main house boasts 3 colossal woodburning fireplaces. The show stopping great room has an exposed-beam cathedral ceiling and 3 walls of windows overlooking the idyllic pastures. A gourmet kitchen with Viking appliances and granite counters spills into a walk-in pantry with radiant heat. An enchanting all-birch barincluding rough-hewn birch tree counter and branch chairsopens into a luxury-ranch-style lounge. A spacious elegant guest suite rounds out the first floor. On the lower level is a cool, bluestone tasting room and wine cellar. The second floor's posh primary bedroom displays a hand-painted tray ceiling, crown molding and magnificent marble ensuite bath, basket weave tile shower and porcelain clawfoot tub. Additional charmingly-appointed bedrooms feature radiant heated floors and fun play spaces. Whether for weekends or full time, this spectacular estate will be your own private Adirondack resort year-round. And there's also great income potential herewould certainly make the perfect AirBnB!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
