When the world becomes all too much, & the dayâ??s burdens have taken their toll on your soul, the drive to your private mountain retreat will cleanse you & reframe your perspective to a more peaceful view. Set within a breathtaking mountain bowl in the Vega Valley of Roxbury, NY, the spectacular setting of this 4+-bedroom, 3-bathesidence combines historic character with modern luxury. Beginning life as part of the Stewart family farm more than a half mile lower on the mountain, this classic dairy barn, was built by hand in 1886.

Preserving its architectural heritage and cathedral-like grandeur, the open-concept floorplan leaves massive original beams, traditional charm and expert craftsmanship exposed in the 30 ft. central great room. Modern amenities throughout the home turn a rustic frame into a truly luxurious experience. Highlights include spa-like bathrooms framed in local bluestone (including two Japanese-style soaking tubs), a chefâ??s dream kitchen with center island cook station, multiple sinks, dishwashers and enormous granite counter space, and an inspired tatami seating area. Stunning picture windows and high-end wood stovesâ??one with a built-in pizza oven -- add warmth and personality to the magic of this incredible room. The second level has a fenced railing guiding guests to one of the 4 bedrooms on the floor, while creative ships ladders, climb to two crows-nest loft rooms even higher above.Set on 140 acres of private land, the property offers exclusive hiking trails, unmatched seclusion, and a deep connection to natureâ??an increasingly rarity in this region. The flexible layout suits a range of lifestyles, from full-time residence to wellness retreat, corporate escape, or short-term rental income.
