1790 SugarMaple Farmhouse: Sauna/115 Acres

Mural House (c.1794).

A very special, Greek Revival, historic 4-bedroom house with luxurious modern features and no visible neighbors situated on 115 acres of sugar maple forest woodland.

The Harpersfield/Stamford residence of Colonel John Harper - the town's founding namesake. In the front hallway, wall murals by LaMont Warner adorn the walls. The rest of the house is filled with touches of luxury (sauna, clawfoot bathtub, baby grand piano), history (wide plank floors, Mission style furniture and adornments), and all modern conveniences (washer dryer, dishwasher, fiber high-speed WiFi). Two luxurious bathrooms (one with a custom cedar sauna), a home office with standing desk, 4 bedrooms, an oversized living room and a full kitchen with all you could want to make a gourmet meal.

The house is situated 115+ acres of woods with logging trails to roam. Minutes to the convenient town of Stamford and situated within all the Catskills has to offer (hiking, skiing, cycling, food-tasting, hunting, mountain/rock climbing, bird watching, wild life sighting). Minutes to the book village Hobart and Bovina (Brushland Eating House & Bovina Fermentory).
