Private Catskills Estate: Historic Barn & Farmhouse on Expansive Land
Welcome to La Grange Estate — a private Catskills retreat where art, architecture, and nature come together across 11 scenic acres. The estate features two historic homes — a restored 1835 barn and a classic 1840s farmhouse — thoughtfully reimagined with modern comforts while preserving their original character. Designed for groups, the property comfortably accommodates up to 20 guests, offering the rare balance of gathering together and having space to spread out.
The estate includes two separate homes, each with its own distinct feel:
The Barn The heart of the property — a restored 3,500 sq ft space with soaring ceilings, warm wood interiors, and an open layout designed for shared meals, conversation, and relaxed evenings. A blend of rustic French industrial style and modern comfort.
The Farmhouse A bright and inviting 5-bedroom home where each room draws inspiration from modern artists, creating a lighter, more classic atmosphere that complements the barn’s warmth.
Together, the two homes allow groups to stay connected while still enjoying privacy — ideal for multi-family stays, retreats, or gatherings with friends.

About the host
Hosted by Matthew Dorter
We created La Grange as a place to bring people together — a space where families, friends, and groups can actually spend meaningful time with each other without feeling cramped or disconnected.
Between the restored barn and the farmhouse, the goal was to blend character, comfort, and functionality — something that feels special, but still easy to settle into. We’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how groups actually use a space, from shared meals to quiet corners, and tried to make it work naturally.
We love hosting guests who are looking to slow down a bit, enjoy the outdoors, and make the most of their time together.
Why they chose this property
Stamford, NY and the surrounding Catskills area offer a great balance of privacy and accessibility. You get the feeling of being fully immersed in nature — open land, wooded trails, quiet nights — without being too far from towns, restaurants, and local attractions.
It’s a place where you can truly unplug if you want to, or explore nearby hiking, seasonal events, and small-town charm. The landscape changes beautifully throughout the year, which makes it just as appealing for summer stays as it is for fall foliage or winter getaways.
What makes this property unique
hat makes this property stand out is the combination of scale, layout, and experience.
You’re not just renting a house — you’re getting a private compound with two separate homes, which allows groups to stay together without feeling on top of each other. That flexibility is rare, especially for larger groups.
The outdoor space is also a major part of the experience — from the playground and firepit to the open meadow and wooded areas, there’s room to spread out, explore, and relax.
Inside, the spaces are designed with personality — from the character of the restored barn to the art-inspired farmhouse rooms — giving the property a distinct feel that’s different from more generic rentals.
