81 High View Farm Road, Copake Falls

For 26 years, this property has been thoughtfully shaped by its owners. What was once undeveloped land is now a private country setting with mature trees, established gardens, and a spring-fed pond. Far reaching views down the Taconic range with spectacular sunsets looking at the Catskill mountains. Home to an artist and a prolific children's book author, the house is filled with artwork, much of it created by the owners, along with pieces collected from other artists. It is a comfortable, creative home with a true sense of personality.

Enter the home to an open living space with wood floors and views of the surrounding landscape. An open concept kitchen/living/dining room center around a gas fireplace with French doors to an expansive deck. The bedroom wing includes a primary suite with walk-in closets as well as three additional rooms, two currently used as studio spaces. A second bedroom and ensuite bath are located on a separate level above the main living area, giving guests their own private space. A full unfinished basement, with heated gym area and two-car garage with an unfinished loft provides storage and the potential for additional finished square footage.

Set on 8+ acres, the property has been landscaped and cared for over decades, with flower gardens surround the house, raised vegetable beds, and an open meadow that gives the land a sense of space. The 25-foot-deep, spring-fed pond is stocked and crystal clear, with a dock for swimming and enjoying the water. Flowers bloom throughout the seasons, while the gardens and meadow offer plenty of room for gardening, exploring, or simply taking in the views. Set on a quiet road with only a handful of homes, the property is tucked into the hillside among the Taconic Range, offering peace of privacy.

It is a home and landscape that have been cared for and enjoyed over time, with plenty of room for the next owner to make it their own.
