Welcome to a rare luxury estate where privacy and recreation come together on 85.9 breathtaking acres. This is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy the outdoors in every season. This private estate is surrounded by three beautiful meadows, mature woodlands, and abundant wildlife. The estate is a private sanctuary designed for those who appreciate peace, beauty, and outdoor living. The grounds unfold naturally in a parklike setting including a peaceful stream crossed by a charming footbridge, and an extensive network of trails for hiking, four-wheeling, skiing, and snowshoeing. Inside, the feeling continues. Beautiful natural light and lovely views greet you from nearly every window, while thoughtfully renovated, high-end spa-like bathrooms create a sense of comfort and retreat. The home has been updated with beautiful hardwood flooring, a new roof, fresh neutral, interior and exterior paint, reverse osmosis/UV water purification, a whole house generator and other meaningful upgrades. There is a quietness here that is becoming increasingly hard to find, a place where mornings can begin with coffee overlooking the manicured grounds, afternoons can be spent exploring the trails, and evenings can simply be enjoyed in the peace and privacy of your own surroundings. An over 3000 square foot custom built, 2 story garage/workshop and a 5 stall storage shed add an extraordinary amount of space for equiptment and vehicles. Although private, the estate is ideally located just 4 miles from the Village of Malone, 3 miles from the Malone Golf Club, and only 4 miles from Titus Mountain Ski Center, placing golf, skiing, dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences within easy reach. Whether you're seeking a luxury country estate, a family retreat, a recreational paradise, or a legacy property to enjoy for generations, this is a truly rare opportunity to own one of the North Country's most exceptional offerings. Furnishings are negotiable.
