Available for the first time in 50 years, "Witten Pond" is a unique three-house compound on 16.8 acres stunningly situated by the Wittenberg Brook and surrounded by thousands of additional acres of forever-wild Catskill State Forest. All three houses, plus a separate sauna house, are centered around a deep, half-acre spring-fed pond stocked with rainbow trout, making for wonderful year-round views of both water and mountains. The principal house is a reconstructed 1835 post-and-beam barn, moved to the site from the Schoharie Valley, and featuring a spectacular cathedral-ceilinged living and entertainment gallery flooded by sunlight through a 25-foot-tall façade of antique window sashes collected from across the Hudson Valley. Adjoining that unforgettable space is a superbly designed open-plan three-level wing featuring a sleek, contemporary gourmet kitchen, spacious master bedroom suite and living and dining areas, all of which can be easily partitioned from the barn gallery space for extra privacy and flexibility. The second gem on the property is a shingled 1920 Adirondacks-inspired house with wrap-around porch and an unblemished chestnut interior featuring original twig banisters and moldings, a river-stone fireplace and a massive peak-roofed bedroom flooded in sunlight but still cozy. The third structure is a charming and fully renovated former gatehouse perfect for accommodating additional family or weekend guests. All of the houses feature stylishly updated bathrooms, kitchens (4 in total!) and independent systems, with the main house also equipped with central air, a wine room, climate-controlled art storage space and an office that could easily be converted to a guest or caretaker suite. Rare for a spot so serene, the property has high-speed hard-cabled internet service, plus robust cellular connectivity. Minutes from the Ashokan Reservoir and a quick drive from Woodstock, this is a unique family retreat or corporate compound featuring no less than 3 rare and historic architectural delights, all with proven income potential.
