House Richmondville (United States)
Welcome to Twelve Ponds Estate, a storied Catskills property spanning more than 100 private acres of lakes, forests, and open pasture. A successful destination venue and working farm, this extraordinary estate offers a rare opportunity to own one of upstate New York's most distinctive event and lodging properties, less than three hours from New York City.At the heart of the property stands the Victorian-era farmhouse, lovingly restored and expanded to include seven true bedrooms, three semi-private sleeping lounges, and six bathrooms. Nearly every bedroom overlooks the private lake, creating a feeling of calm retreat. Period-correct Andersen windows, multiple fireplaces, and carefully restored finishes preserve the home's historic character while providing modern comfort. The farmhouse sits beside manicured lawns and spring-fed ponds, with views framed by rolling hills, forest trails, and distant mountain peaks.Nearby, the post-and-beam barn has been transformed into a breathtaking entertainment venue. With original Saratoga nunnery leaded glass windows, custom walnut sliding doors, and both indoor and outdoor bars, it offers a uniquely atmospheric setting for weddings, performances, or private events. The barn includes a dance floor, catering kitchen, mezzanine lounge, and three bathrooms, all heated and air-conditioned for year-round use. Across the property, a series of outdoor gathering spaces create moments of wonder: the lakeside greenhouse pavilion and deck, the starlit Observatory Garden with its advanced telescope and whiskey-barrel hightops, and a ''Circle of Life'' stone sculpture nestled amid forest lighting and winding stone paths.The observatory is one of the estate's most singular features, and its origins are part of the property's remarkable history. From 1969 to 1989, Twelve Ponds Estate was home to Wojciech Fangor, one of the most celebrated Polish artists of the twentieth century and the first Polish artist to hold a solo exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum. A lifelong astronomer, Fangor built the wooden observatory in 1983. Scholars have noted the direct connection between his years of celestial observation here and the pulsating color fields of his most iconic canvases. The observatory stands today equipped with a modern computerized Celestron telescope; with virtually no light pollution on the property, the rings of Saturn are visible to the naked eye through the eyepiece.Twelve Ponds Estate is as practical as it is poetic. Behind its storybook beauty lies an infrastructure designed for both private enjoyment and commercial success. The estate features three 200-amp electric services, multiple wells, a gated entrance, and extensive exterior lighting. A newly built, town-approved private road ensures total seclusion, while a network of cleared trails and fenced pastures invite exploration. Designed for both private enjoyment and commercial success, this is a rare offering of beauty, scale, and seclusion.

House with garden Gilboa (United States)
Some homes are just houses. This one is a story. Built in 1885 and lovingly stewarded across generations, Clover Valley Farm is a rare Italianate Victorian fully on 20.67 acres of open meadow, woodland, and mountain views — complete with a private pond and a heritage carriage barn standing since the property's earliest days. The hand-painted sunburst porch panels, ornate bracketed cornices, and grand forward-facing double porch set the tone before you ever step inside. The porches were rebuilt, the roof renewed, and 26 windows replaced — all without disturbing a single detail of what makes this place extraordinary. Picture your morning: coffee in hand, the Catskills spread wide, nothing but birdsong to interrupt the quiet. Through the original mahogany double entry doors, a grand turned-spindle staircase and refinished wide-plank pine floors carry the kind of warmth only time itself can build. Crown molding throughout, rich original woodwork, and sun pouring through tall windows at every hour. The living room gathers around a gas cast iron stove; the formal dining room retains its original butler's pass-through and period-style pendant; the updated kitchen features quartz countertops, new cabinetry, and a stained glass accent window that catches the afternoon light just right. The breakfast room is where tea, a good book, and a scone become a daily ritual. Upstairs, four generous bedrooms with original floors and far stretching Catskill views offer a quiet retreat. A sun-drenched sitting nook tucked off the hall invites a candle and whatever you've been meaning to read for months. The showpiece bath features a clawfoot tub, antique brass fixtures, pedestal sink, and beadboard wainscoting. Every practical need has been thoughtfully addressed — renovated second bath, main-floor laundry, updated electrical, new well, tankless water heater, and low-profile radiators — so nothing stands between you and simply living here. Beyond the door, the land opens up to a stone patio warmed by afternoon sun, a fenced yard made for quiet evenings, a private pond, open fields, and a heritage carriage barn that has earned its place in the landscape. Wake to mist lifting off the mountains. Let spring bring its wildflowers and fall set the hillsides on fire. Grow what you love, harvest what you planted, and bring it to the table still warm from the sun. When you're ready to venture out, the Schoharie Beverage Trail winds through the hills with local cideries, wineries, and craft breweries worth lingering over. Mine Kill State Park and Windham Mountain keep the adventurous fed year round. And when the world calls you back — Saratoga Springs is just an hour away, Albany under 90 minutes, Hudson and its Amtrak connection to the city under two. New York City is 2.5 hours from your front porch. Near enough to everything that matters. Far enough to finally breathe. Most furnishings convey. Arrive and simply live. This is the home people spend a lifetime looking for.
