About The Property

Meadowbrook soars on so many levels, not least of which is the stunning 80+ acres: rolling hills, clearings, water features, an orchard, and mature landscaping that elevate the everyday to something truly sublime, at this private Catskills estate.

Pulling onto the property, the East Branch of the Callicoon Creek is glimpsed, flowing lazily by a cleared bank where an appealing line of Adirondack chairs has been set up. The paved drive leads you past some grand old maples and a sizable pond, enhanced by flourishing miscanthus and other grasses.

The house is perfectly sited on a rise to overlook the gracious grounds. Built in 1997 with a thoughtful 2024 addition, it reads as understated and architectural, with corrugated metal siding, clean lines, substantial glass for absorbing the view, including a farmed hill in the distance. Inside, six bedrooms and four bathrooms give real breathing room for a large family or a steady rotation of guests.

The ground floor is largely open plan: The sleek new kitchen (2026) features a Sub-Zero fridge, Fulgor Milano 6-burner gas stove and two sinks, and flows seamlessly into the large dining area. Here the wall of glass includes French sliding doors that lead out to the long patio that fronts the entire house. Built-in bookshelves and cabinetry anchor the overall living space, with a substantial wood-burning fireplace with bluestone surround a major focal point.

Retreat to the luxurious primary suite via double doors opening onto a private lounge with glass walls and exterior access on either side. Out back a cedar barrel sauna offsets the fire pit area. Through the bedroom and past two generous walk-in closets, the luxe bathroom features double sinks and a modern tiled shower. There is radiant floor heat throughout this addition.

Outside, the property distinguishes itself further. Colorful perennials flank the curving stone steps that lead to the heated saltwater pool, while post and rail fencing is softened by hydrangeas and more perennials.

There's a bountiful fenced vegetable garden already staked and producing, an orchard, a bocce court, and mature specimen trees that suggest decades of careful landscaping. A spring-fed pond and substantial frontage on the East Branch of Callicoon Creek round out the water features. The acreage itself is comprised of three lots.

Practical amenities are handled with the same seriousness as the design: there is a whole-house standby generator, and a two-car garage with EV charger by the entry to the property, with a finished, heated room upstairs currently used as a gym.

Meadowbrook is a magical private retreat in Western Catskills, roughly five minutes from the shops and restaurants of Jeffersonville and fifteen from the delightful river town of Callicoon.
