2016 Platte Clove Road, Elka Park

Welcome to one of the Catskill Mountains' most iconic and rare estate properties. Nestled on 19.6 acres and bordered by over 65 acres of protected NYC land on two sides, this historic Victorian estate offers breathtaking panoramic mountain views, direct waterfront access, and luxurious modern amenities—all just minutes from Hunter Mountain, Windham, Tannersville, and Kaaterskill Falls.

Originally built as a summer retreat for a duchess, this grand 4,000+ square foot residence beautifully blends timeless architecture with today's comforts. Inside, you'll find 6+ spacious bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, original inlaid hardwood floors, dramatic 13-foot coffered ceilings, and a series of elegant parlors ideal for relaxing or entertaining.

The sun-filled eat-in kitchen opens to an expansive bluestone patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow perfect for entertaining against the stunning Catskill backdrop. A newly added spa wing features a steam shower, infrared sauna, and radiant heat flooring—bringing a luxurious wellness experience to your doorstep. A whole-house generator ensures comfort and security throughout the year.

The outdoor amenities are equally impressive. Professionally landscaped grounds with tiered bluestone retaining walls offer multiple patios and gathering spaces, two cozy firepits, and unmatched views of the surrounding mountains. Enjoy a private pond ideal for kayaking or fishing, a heated saline pool, and a walking meditation labyrinth—perfect for wellness retreats or peaceful solitude.

Two guest cottages provide added flexibility: one fully renovated and turnkey as a rental or guesthouse, and another ready for your creative renovation. A large, historic barn offers endless potential for conversion into an event venue, art studio, or equestrian space.

With 800 feet of road frontage and rare development potential, this property could serve as a private family compound, boutique resort, wedding venue, or luxury vacation rental business.

Conveniently located within driving distance of Woodstock, Saugerties, and under 2.5 hours from NYC, this one-of-a-kind Catskills estate invites you to live, create, and invest in a lifestyle surrounded by nature, history, and possibility.
