About this property
1.5 Hrs NYC, Best Ski Home, Shops, Dining, FirePl, VIEWS! Hot Tub Spa, BBQ, Hike
Roxbury & Washington are the best country rural retreats within 2 hours of NYC - the best restaurants, shopping, land preserves, Lake Waramaug State Park & Beach, and nearby Mohawk Mountain Skiing. Beautiful, private woodland 4-Bedroom hilltop retreat with a luxurious year-round Spa Hot Tub - ideal for a relaxing getaway. Located on a 3 acre property near historic estates, Maple Bank farm stand and Toplands Farm and just 1.5 hours from NYC. The house features beautiful fields, views, a large deck, hot tub, gas grill, firepit. Nearby hiking trails, and Washington filled with restaurants, shopping, distilleries, vineyards, breweries, and more! Ski Mohawk Mountain or Swim Lake Waramaug State Beach.
Washington is exceptional for its excellent restaurants, spas, antique shops, art galleries, boutiques, farms, historic homes, gardens, vineyards, distilleries, and orchards. The Gilmore Girls creator modelled Stars Hollow, the perfect Connecticut town, after Washington and the Independence Inn after the Mayflower Inn. It is the current or former home to many artists, writers, actors and Wall Street executives – referred to as "more Vermont, than Vermont" and "the un-Hamptons". Nature preserves, Lake Waramaug, and the Shepaug River offer extensive hiking, biking, and water activities. Mohawk and Sundown Ski Areas , Lime Rock Raceway, and Quassy Amusement Park are all a short drive.
Each home was acquired for its architectural interest and private country setting in Washington's or Roxbury's most scenic neighborhoods. All are beautifully landscaped with flowering trees and shrubs, flagstone terraces with gas barbeques. Each has been exquisitely re-designed and furnished with art and antiques, elegant bedrooms and new luxury bathrooms, and chef's kitchens with new stainless steel appliances. Relax and refresh with Frette pressed cotton sheets, plush towels and bathrobes, Bigelow bath amenities, down featherbeds, comforters and pillows. Maid, catering, private chef and massage services are optional. Enjoy central heat and air conditioning, WiFi, flat screen televisions with dvds, cable and movie channels, central sound systems, central vacuums, and central alarms.
