Property Description

Spectacular in every season with breathtaking views of the Ashokan Reservoir and Catskill Mountains, Baker Manor is a rare gem steeped in history. Built in 1918 by J. Waldo Smith, the chief engineer of the Ashokan Reservoir project, this remarkable Neo-Classic stone mansion was masterfully constructed using locally sourced cement blocks—the very same material used in the creation of the Olivebridge Dam. Designed for enduring strength and beauty, the home's exterior walls feature a striking pattern crafted from three distinct molds, a testament to the craftsmanship of its time.

This distinguished estate, once home to acclaimed actor Chevy Chase, spans 9.10 picturesque acres, offering unparalleled privacy and room to explore. The grand 3,500-square-foot residence boasts five bedrooms and three bathrooms, seamlessly blending timeless elegance with modern conveniences. The home's stately façade, adorned with majestic columns and an inviting porch, exudes an air of sophistication.

Inside, original red oak moldings, hardwood floors, and soaring ceilings create a warm and refined ambiance. The formal living room, anchored by a classic brick fireplace, serves as the heart of the home—an ideal space for relaxation and entertaining. Oversized windows bathe the interiors in natural light, while French doors open onto a stone patio, where sweeping mountain and reservoir views take center stage.

The chef's kitchen is both charming and functional, featuring a farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, a spacious island, and abundant cabinetry. It seamlessly flows into the formal dining room, where original pocket doors provide an elegant transition into the living area.

The grand staircase leads to a luminous primary suite, a private retreat and ensuite bath. A vintage clawfoot tub, perfectly positioned to capture the stunning views, serves as the focal point. The additional four bedrooms each retain their early 20th-century charm while offering modern comfort.

At the pinnacle of the home, the third-floor cupola boasts windows on all sides, offering an awe-inspiring perspective of the surrounding landscape. Outside, the park-like grounds invite quiet exploration. A luxurious in-ground saltwater pool is perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the breathtaking mountain views, creating an idyllic space for relaxation.

Located just two hours from New York City, Baker Manor offers the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility. From fine dining and cultural attractions to hiking, skiing, and outdoor adventures, the best of the Catskills is just minutes away.

Baker Manor is more than a home—it's a legacy. Experience the unparalleled beauty and history of this once-in-a-lifetime Catskills estate. The property is also available with a 2,380 sq ft carriage house featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, situated on a total of 12.46 acres (MLS# 20244262).
