INSIDE | 5 Bedrooms | 4.5 Bathrooms | 6,242 Square Feet

Potter Mountain House is a redesigned masterpiece with historic architecture and modern finishes. Inside, the 1837 timber-frame structure’s main living space features soaring ceilings and exposed hand-hewn beams. The floors are white oak, and windows line the lime-washed walls, floor to ceiling.

In the kitchen, there is a 48” AGA induction range, a large center island, and the walk-in pantry houses a second sink and expertly hides the paneled refrigerator. A gas fireplace grounds the large seating area, which looks into the open chef’s kitchen. The space is fabulous for entertaining. A library is perched in the cupola with gorgeous custom bookshelves. Under the stairwell, you’ll find a 600+ bottle wine room, temperature-controlled and accessed through steel doors.

The primary suite has its own wing. It is big and bright, and like the rest of the house, it looks out onto the dramatic mountain view. The primary bath has a large wet room with two showers and a soaking tub; the hardware is beautiful, heavy unlacquered brass. In the opposite wing are two spacious guest rooms, a bunk room with four sweet & custom-built-in bunks, and an incredible full bath with a double vanity and radiant heat. A home office space is perched on the third floor, with a separate staircase. It is nicely and intentionally tucked away for privacy and quiet.

OUTSIDE | 37.01 Acres | 1837 Build

The house is built into the hillside. Outside, you’re completely immersed in nature with nearly forty acres to explore. Find streams and waterfalls, and trails wind through the woods. Potter Mountain House is a fabulous retreat for those wanting peace and quiet. Still, you’re also close to hiking, farm-to-table dining, and Windham Mountain Club is right down the road. Just over 2h to NYC, a furniture package is available.
