Dobrodošli u Potter Mountain House, majstorski preuređenu crkvu u grčkom stilu koja je postala luksuzno dizajnersko imanje. Izvorna drvena konstrukcija izgrađena je 1837. godine kao Manorkill metodistička crkva, služeći svojoj zajednici više od stoljeća prije nego što je pažljivo razmontirana i premještena na trenutnu lokaciju u Gilboi, NY. Sada smještena na 37 hektara s pogledom na Catskill planine, zgrada je započela svoju dvogodišnju transformaciju 2023. godine od strane boutique dizajn/izgradnje firme ICDT Studio u zadivljujuću rezidenciju od 6,242 kvadratna metra—odajući počast svojoj povijesnoj duši dok istovremeno unosi rafinirani, dizajnerski orijentirani senzibilitet. Rezultat je jedinstvena arhitektonska ponuda koja uravnotežuje poštovanje prema prošlosti s namjerno suvremenim dizajnerskim etosom.

Unutrašnjost, svaka detalj ispunjava očekivanja. Tri završene razine oslonjene su na veličanstvenu Veliku sobu koja sadrži obnovljeni izvorni drveni okvir, ručno tesane grede i puni zid prozora koji okviruju panoramske planinske poglede. Okrugli, skulpturalni plinski kamin dodaje toplinu i ambijent između dnevnog boravka i blagovaonice, dok kuhinja chefa sadrži 48" AGA indukcijsku ploču, Fisher & Paykel aparate, Waterworks sanitarije i zapanjujući otok obložen kamenom. Prostor dopunjuje ostava s hodnikom naglašena drvenim gredama i obložena Zellige pločicama. Prostran, otvoren raspored pruža upečatljivu ravnotežu stila i funkcionalnosti za svakodnevni život i zabavu.

Usponom simetrične dvostruke stepenice, Velika soba otvara se u dramatični književni loft smješten unutar izvorne kupole crkve, krunisan 18 stopa dugim, višekratnim staklenim lustrom i prilagođenim policama do stropa. Neposredno pored blagovaonice, vinska soba s hladnjakom za 625 boca, zatvorena je prilagođenim zakrivljenim željeznim vratima. Dom nudi pet spavaćih soba i četiri i pol savršeno dovršene kupaonice, svaka opremljena radijantnim grijanjem, odabranim pločicama i umjetničkim miješanjem kamena i mramora. Udaljeni glavni suite zauzima vlastito privatno krilo i uključuje kupaonicu poput spa centara s kadom za kupanje, dvostrukim tuševima, Bardiglio mramorom i dvostrukim umivaonicima okruženim prilagođenim staklenim pregradama. Doljnja razina s izlazom van ima sekundarni dnevni boravak s mokrim barom, dva gostinjska apartmana, ugrađenu sobu s krevetima na kat i prostranu praonicu s dvostrukim perilicama i sušilicama. Zidovi s vapnenim premazom, široke drvene podne obloge od bijelog hrasta i vrhunska rasvjeta donose osjećaj tihe luksuznosti kroz cijeli prostor.

Na otvorenom, višestruke terase za zabavu i prostrani stražnji vanjski dio u potpunosti iskorištavaju prirodno okruženje, dok potok i sezonski slapovi povećavaju osjećaj mira. Dodatne značajke uključuju spojen, grijani garažu za dva automobila, višenamjensku prostoriju za blato i plan dvorišta koji je već pripremljen s planovima za budući bazen. Samo 20 minuta od Windham Mountain Cluba, manje od sat vremena do Hudsona i Albanyja, a nešto više od dva sata od NYC-a, Potter Mountain House nudi utočište, dimenziju i uzvišeni dizajn. Također je dostupna opcija potpuno namještenog prostora, pružajući istinsko iskustvo "ključ u ruke" za bezbrižno useljenje. Neponovljivo, povijesno i priča svoju jedinstvenu priču.

Welcome to Potter Mountain House, a masterfully reimagined Greek Revival church turned luxury designer estate. The original timber-framed structure was constructed in 1837 as the Manorkill Methodist Church, serving its community for over a century before being carefully dismantled and relocated to its current site in Gilboa, NY. Now sited on 37 acres with sweeping Catskill Mountain views, the building began its two-year transformation in 2023 by the boutique design/build firm ICDT Studio into a breathtaking 6,242-square-foot residence—honoring its historic soul while layering in a refined, design-forward sensibility. The result is a one-of-a-kind architectural offering that balances reverence for the past with an intentional, contemporary design ethos.

Inside, every detail delivers. The three finished levels are anchored by a soaring Great Room featuring the restored original timber frame, hand-hewn beams, and a full wall of windows that frame the panoramic mountain views. A round, sculptural gas fireplace adds warmth and ambiance between the living and dining spaces, while the chef’s kitchen features a 48” AGA induction range, Fisher & Paykel appliances, Waterworks fixtures, and a stunning stone-clad island. A walk-in pantry accented by reclaimed wood beams and lined with Zellige tile completes the space. The spacious, open layout provides a striking balance of style and function for both daily living and entertaining.

Ascending a symmetrical dual staircase, the Great Room opens into a dramatic library loft housed within the home’s original church cupola, crowned by an 18-foot long, multi-point glass chandelier and custom floor-to-ceiling bookcases. Just off the dining area, a glass-fronted, 625-bottle refrigerated wine room is enclosed by custom arched iron doors. The home offers five bedrooms and four-and-a-half exquisitely finished baths, each appointed with radiant heat, curated tilework, and an artful mix of stone and marble. The secluded primary suite occupies its own private wing and includes a spa-like bath with soaking tub, dual showers, Bardiglio marble, and double vanities framed by custom glass partitions. The walkout lower level features a secondary living room with wet bar, two guest quarters, built-in bunk room, and a spacious laundry suite with double washers and dryers. Lime-washed walls, wide-plank white oak flooring, and bespoke lighting carry a sense of quiet luxury throughout.

Outside, multiple entertaining terraces and an expansive rear deck take full advantage of the natural surroundings, while a stream and seasonal waterfalls enhance the sense of tranquility. Additional features include an attached, heated, two-car garage, all-purpose mudroom, and a backyard master plan already prepared with plans for a future pool. Just 20 minutes from Windham Mountain Club, under an hour to Hudson and Albany, and a little over two hours from NYC, Potter Mountain House offers sanctuary, scale, and elevated design. A fully furnished option is also available, providing a true turnkey experience for effortless move-in. Unlike anything else on the market—distinctive, historic, and telling a story entirely its own. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
