On the Market: Exquisite Living Experience at High View Farm

High View Farm stretches across 29 acres of wildflower-covered land on Winchell Mountain’s southern ridge, offering breathtaking views of the Catskills. The architectural and interior design team of Halliday Greer, along with architect Graydon Yearick and LaGuardia Design Group Landscape Architects, drew inspiration from the surrounding farmland and expansive skies of the Hudson Valley. By using sustainable natural materials and state-of-the-art building technology, they created a unique living experience that seamlessly blends contemporary modernism with rural charm. Local artisans played a significant role in bringing the vision to life, resulting in a comfortable yet luxurious estate. High View Farm harnesses solar and geothermal energy to ensure a sustainable, architecturally-inspired EcoLux environment that promises to captivate and endure for years to come.

INSIDE | 5 Bedrooms | 5 Bathrooms | 5,935 Square Feet

The home comes fully furnished with bespoke soft furnishings. It is fully outfitted, from luxurious sheets to elegant knife sets, displaying the designers’ impeccable style. The interiors blend European and American classical, modernist, and contemporary pieces (primarily sourced from local antique dealers and Hudson Valley craftsmen) in a palette that reflects the rich colors and textures of the surrounding landscape.

The main house has three primary suites and two additional ensuite guest rooms. The baths are all appointed with Waterworks fixtures and custom cabinets. The bedrooms, all with spectacular views, are generously proportioned with custom millwork closets with oak interiors. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with an AGA Mercury induction stove, a Thermador fridge, an appliance pantry, two dishwashers, a full butler’s pantry with wine refrigeration, and a Miele integrated coffee system. The great room has a masonry fireplace and dining for 14 people.

The ground floor has a Tonal Smart personal training machine, free weights, a yoga/stretching area, a surround-sound cinema, and a cedar sauna. The piece-de-resistance is the four-season indoor/outdoor room with a wood-burning fireplace…a dream for entertaining in a country home.

OUTSIDE | 28.90 Acres | New Build | Pool 

The 50 x 11 ft saltwater gunite infinity pool, with sun-shelf and tub spa, overlooks Stissing Mountain. The 425-square-foot heated pool house has a “live” green roof, full kitchen and bath, and lounge/sleeping area. It’s united to the pool by floor-to-ceiling sliding glass panel doors running the length of the pool.

Just past the pool and up the ridge from the built-in BBQ is a lovely fire pit area for cooler summer and autumn evenings. Closer to the main house, with its own wood-burning built-in BBQ, is Maple Grove, another idyllic outdoor spot for more elaborate summer parties and alfresco dining.

There are two additional structures on the property. First, a 30 x 40 mortice and tenon barn with pine and oak hand-hewn beams assembled by local Connecticut barn builders, with room for two cars and a hayloft easily convertible to additional living space. Second, an atmospheric potting shed, inspired by an outbuilding on the grounds of the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton, NY, made of pine and clad with perforated stainless steel…a sculptural solution to a practical need.

Among the many eco-lux features are fumed white oak wide plank flooring, radiant floor heating, forced geothermal cooling to maintain absolute climate control, ultra-efficient top-quality windows throughout, sustainable radiata pine Abodo siding, and an aesthetically pleasing Tesla solar tile roof that generates almost 20KW of electricity-enough to power the whole property. It also has smart home features like programmable solar roof power generation distribution control, three car-charging connections, a remote-controlled audio sound system, landscape lighting, window shades, security cameras, and automated entry gates.

High View Farm, “not that far from everywhere but a world away,” is a homage to the rich history and diversity of the area’s rural farming community with an equally engaged commitment to the future.
