The Estate

Where the Mountains
Come Home

Perched on 16.93 acres of Catskill Mountain splendor, Elliot Place is a magnificently restored 19th-century farmhouse — a six-bedroom sanctuary where light pours through every room and the silence of the mountains settles in like a long exhale.

The wrap-around veranda stretches the full length of the house, furnished for long summer afternoons. An original fireplace commands the ground floor. A dramatic master suite opens to a private balcony with mountain views. Outside, a bluestone patio, fire circle, bocce court, and the historic three-story barn complete the picture.

This is not a hotel. It is a private estate — entirely yours.

Accommodations

Six Bedrooms,
One Extraordinary Estate

Every room tells its own story — from the sun-washed lower-floor suites with their period millwork and antique furnishings, to the dramatic cathedral-ceilinged master suite with its private balcony and mountain views. Wide-plank hardwoods, original woodwork, and carefully chosen art run throughout.

Master suite — cathedral beams, private balcony, Catskill mountain views
The Crown Suite
The Master

The estate's crown jewel. Cathedral ceilings with exposed timber beams soar above a king bed, original fireplace, and private deck overlooking the Catskills. A crystal chandelier presides over the spa bathroom with its clawfoot soaking tub and rain shower. A vintage Remington typewriter sits on the wood stove — invitation enough.

A Living Landmark

The Barn

Elliot Place is one of the original two farms on the mountain — a working property that predates the Civil War. The three-story barn that stands at the edge of the meadow is not a restoration. It is the original structure, still wearing the weathered dignity of nearly two centuries.

Its massive hand-hewn timbers, original sliding doors, and dormered upper story have watched generations come and go. Today it anchors the property as a dramatic backdrop for bonfires, a subject of wonder for guests who walk its grounds at dusk, and a reminder of what this land has always been — working, breathing, alive.

The windmill nearby, a red-tailed hawk's favorite perch, still turns in the mountain wind. The fire circle in the meadow, ringed by red Adirondack chairs, is where evenings at Elliot Place tend to end — wood smoke, stars, and the quiet of the Catskills settling in.

Life Outside

From the sweeping wrap-around porch where mornings begin, to the bluestone patio for outdoor dining, to the fire circle where evenings end — Elliot Place is as much an outdoor estate as an indoor one.

The Heart of the House

The Fireplace Room

At the center of the ground floor, the original fireplace holds court behind a black painted surround and exposed red brick wall. The vaulted pine-beaded ceiling above it was uncovered during restoration — original to the house. This is where the estate gathers on cold evenings: wine on the mantle, fire lit, the staircase with its carved newel post just behind.

The stained glass front door — original to the 19th-century house — casts colored light across the foyer floor in the afternoon. Every original detail has been kept.

The dining room — deep plum walls, brass sputnik chandelier, table for ten, white oryx
The Dining Room
The Most Unexpected Room

Deep plum walls, a brass sputnik chandelier, and Windsor chairs around a farm table for ten. The white oryx presides from the wall. This is where the estate reveals its personality most fully — a room that collects the extraordinary and invites long dinners.

The kitchen — black cabinets, butcher block, gas range

Words from Our Guests

★★★★★

"An extraordinary property — the scale of it took our breath away the moment we drove up. The mountains, the barn, the deck at golden hour... we didn't want to leave."

— The Morrison Family, New York
★★★★★

"We've rented many Catskill properties over the years. Nothing comes close to Elliot Place. The space, the quiet, the setting — it's in a category of its own."

— Sarah & James T., Brooklyn
★★★★★

"Our annual family reunion finally had a home worthy of the occasion. 12 of us stayed and felt we could have had 20 more. The barn alone is worth the trip."

— The Chen-Williams Family
