Overview

Description

Welcome to Bearsville Record House, a landmark property with a legacy deeply rooted in American music. Originally built in 1873 and once home to famed Bearsville Records, this storied compound includes two dwellings; the main farmhouse and a guest cottage, plus a studio building waiting to be finished to your specs. A gunite saltwater pool, outdoor kitchen, and fenced-in plum orchard complete the grounds, all along 500 feet of private Sawkill creek frontage. The property has been transformed into a private compound that honors its heritage and balances artistry and modern comfort, all just minutes from Woodstock's vibrant center. The three-bedroom, two-bath main house retains its 19th-century character while offering thoughtful updates throughout. Highlights include a vaulted living room with wood stove, a library sitting room with cedar sauna, and a chef's kitchen that's both functional and awe-inspiring. Centered around a dramatic wood-burning hearth, it is a showpiece of form and function with a six-burner Capital range, Liebherr refrigeration, radiant-heated bluestone floors, and stainless steel and granite surfaces. Details like limewashed walls, hardwood floors, a clawfoot tub, cedar sauna, and custom dressing-room armoires highlight the care and craftsmanship that define the home, and a screened-in porch and covered front porch extend the home's livability through the seasons. Across the grounds, the guest cottage with a copper roof offers radiant-heated floors, a propane fireplace, a full bath with a walk-in shower, and a kitchenette. A separate studio building adds further flexibility, inviting use as a workspace, recording room, or additional living area. Outdoors, the gunite saltwater pool sits beside a stone patio with a built-in outdoor kitchen complete with grill, sink, and mini fridge. Raised garden beds, a fenced orchard with plum trees, and private creek frontage along the Sawkill create an idyllic setting, complemented by a carport with copper roof and a full-house automatic generator. Located steps from the Cub Market and the Bearsville Theater restaurants, and just two miles from downtown Woodstock, this property is both a private retreat and a cultural landmark. Steeped in creative history and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Catskills, it's a rare and remarkable piece of Hudson Valley's artistic legacy.
