Are you ready to live big? We hope so, because this Elka Park, NY mansion has over 5,000 square feet of living space and breathtaking views from every direction. It’s the perfect place to watch the New York Northern Lights or sit back with an antique cast iron tea pot and take in the views.
“This waterfront property with panoramic mountain views is surrounded by state land and is a rare find,” says the Zillow listing for 2016 Platte Clove Road in Elka Park, New York.
“Built by a Duchess as her summer home, this 19-acre Victorian estate includes six bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms in the main house, and two bedrooms with one bathroom in the guesthouse and other additional buildings.”
All this charm and history doesn’t come cheap, though. It’s listed for $1,595,000, which works out to roughly $314 per square foot.
“The property includes a heated pool, a large pond for kayaking or fishing, a spa bathroom with a sauna and steam shower, a media room next to the formal living room for movie nights, a large bluestone patio for summer BBQs and three wood burning stoves for cold winter nights after a day on the ski slopes.”
It’s also a short drive from several pick-your-own farms, the adorable downtown Catskill waterfront and the much talked about Hudson Valley Mall.
The house, which has been used as an Airbnb and seasonal rental, can easily be converted back to full-timing living or as a spacious second home. It gives the far-pricier Hamptons a run for its money.
By the way, if you like this listing, you’ll love this Kingston, New York mansion that’s only about 20 miles away.
“Upgrades since 2022 include new bonus room which could be used as a game room, office, or extra bedroom and two luxurious bathrooms with radiant floors. Featuring 800 feet of roadside frontage, this property has plenty of room for additional dwellings or subdivisions with approval from the town planning board.”
We love how close this house is to nearby Tannersville, Hunter Mountain, Woodstock, Saugerties and other high-profile towns with plenty to do, eat and see.
The property is also available for longterm and short-term rentals. Enjoy the rest of the photos—they’re swoon-worthy.
