Yon kay ki anviwònman lanmòn. Sitiye sou de akr parc ki byen epaye, menm anfas Montay Top Arboretum, sa a 1904 Onteora Park Arts & Crafts kabann, 1 nan 20 ki fèt pa atis George Agnew Reid, marye apèl andeyò tan an nan atizana ki soti nan kòmansman syèk la avèk ajou modèn ki byen panse.

Yon porche ki antoure mennen nan pòt orijinal Olandè a, ki ouvri sou yon gwo chanm ki gen de a ki gen plafon ki wo, yon bèso gran wòch, ak yon galeri minstrel ki dekore avèk maml depase jwenn nan Hudson River School, yon siyifikasyon nan kabann Reid yo. Kidonk li byen adapte pou rasanbleman gwo oswa seremonye kalm bò dife a, li se baz achitekti ak sosyal kabann lan. Soti isit la, sala manje ofisyèl la konekte ak yon kwizin ki gen asyèt ak yon zile santral, ki ouvri dirèkteman sou patyo wòch la pou yon manje alfresco san efò.

Plan etaj la se janti men entim; yon konfigirasyon dou, ki kreye chalè ak entimite. Anwo, de chanm prensipal ki gen ben nan yo chita nan opozan bout gwo chanm nan. De lòt chanm ak yon ben plen pataje okipe zòn oksidantal la. Yon nivo attik ki fini ajoute yon chanm, yon den, ak yon ben 3/4.

Travay bwa orijinal, bwa ki ekspoze, fenèt divize-lam, balistrad bèch, ak maçonnerie Onteora karakteristik ekspwime lineage distenk kay la. Detay sa yo, ansanm avèk kat chemine ki gen otorite ak vi sid nan Montay Catskill yo, evoke yon amoni eleman nan dyalòg ak peyizaj ki antoure a. Amoni sa a konfime ak pote deyò nan liy anba trapezoyid ki leve byen ki sanble se yon anons nan mont yo pi lwen.

Avantaj yo gen ladan yon sélar diven ki natirèlman fre; yon jim sou premye etaj avèk yon douch vapè ki kole ak patyo a; yon pit dife; ak yon sal bilyar ak panèl an bwa. Amelyorasyon resan ajoute yon nouvo sistèm chofaj propàn ki gen uit zòn, yon nouvo sistèm septik, planche bwa ki rebati, ak anpil rekou sou maçonnerie tout kote. Pwopriyete a benefisye de yon jeneratè standby Kohler ak sèvis elektrik kache soti nan wout la.

De akr ekskiz kabann lan se parsemé ak bwa granmoun e li gen yon vwayaj sikilè devan, sèz pye pòm, ak yon miray wòch ki sèch. Konekte ak travay pon ki presi a, yon chemen wòch k ap kouri soti nan porche a jiska yon patyo devan ki gen vi mòn, ak ale plis lwen nan patyo do ki izole a avèk yon tab wòch ki fèt espesyalman.

Tèm de wout la, tè ki nan pwopriyetè Montay Top Arboretum asire vi ki pa gen obstak. Dèyè, pwopriyete a kontre mil (wi, mil) ak ekta tè ki toujou sovaj ki etann nò pou Colgate Lake ak Windham–Blackhead Range Wilderness. Deer Mountain Inn ak Onteora Club se kèk minit lwen.

Sa a se yon ofrann ra pou moun ki ap chèche yon jwenn nan yon eta ki gen orijin achitekti, vi pwoteje, ak pwoksimite ak avantaj kiltirèl ak natirèl Catskills yo—5 minit pou Tannersville ki ap bouyi, 10 minit pou Hunter, 15 minit pou Windham, e jis plis pase 2 èdtan soti nan GWB.

A home that belongs to the mountains. Set on two park-like acres directly across from the Mountain Top Arboretum, this 1904 Onteora Park Arts & Crafts cottage, 1 of 20 designed by artist George Agnew Reid, marries the timeless appeal of turn-of-the-century craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates.

A wraparound porch leads to the original Dutch door, opening into a double-height great room with soaring ceilings, a grand fieldstone fireplace, and a minstrel’s gallery adorned with Hudson River School murals, a hallmark of Reid’s cottages. Equally suited to large gatherings or quiet evenings by the fire, it is the architectural and social anchor of the cottage. From here, the formal dining room connects to an eat-in kitchen with ample cabinetry and a central island, opening directly to the stone patio for effortless al fresco dining.

The floor plan is roomy yet intimate; a gentle, meandering configuration that creates warmth and privacy. Upstairs, two ensuite primary bedrooms sit at opposite ends of the great room. Two additional bedrooms and a shared full bath occupy the western wing. A finished attic level adds a bedroom, den, and 3/4 bath.

Original millwork, exposed timbers, divided-lite windows, birch banisters, and characteristic Onteora masonry express the home’s distinct lineage. These details, in concert with four stately fireplaces and south-facing views of the Catskill Mountains, evoke an elemental harmony in dialogue with the surrounding landscape. That harmony is affirmed and carried outward in the subtly staggered, trapezoidal roofline, seemingly an echo of the mountains beyond.

Amenities include a naturally cooled wine cellar; a first-floor gym with steam shower adjoining the patio; a fire pit; and a wood-paneled billiards room. Recent improvements add a new eight-zone propane heating system, a new septic system, refinished hardwood floors, and extensive masonry repointing throughout. The property benefits from a Kohler standby generator and buried electric service from the road.

The cottage’s two exquisite acres are dotted with mature hardwoods and fronted by a circular drive, sixteen apple trees, and a dry-laid stone wall. Connecting the meticulous hardscaping, a stone walkway runs from the porch to a front patio graced by mountain views, and onward to the secluded rear patio with a bespoke stone table.

Across the road, land owned by the Mountain Top Arboretum ensures unobstructed views. To the rear, the property abuts thousands (yes, thousands) of acres of forever-wild land stretching north to Colgate Lake and the Windham–Blackhead Range Wilderness. Deer Mountain Inn and the Onteora Club are minutes away.

This is a rare offering for those seeking an upstate escape with architectural provenance, protected views, and proximity to the cultural and natural amenities of the Catskills—5 minutes to bustling Tannersville, 10 minutes to Hunter, 15 minutes to Windham, and just over 2 hours from the GWB. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
