Escape the bustle of city life and discover Bellavista Country Estate, a grand 12,000-square-foot Georgian brick residence set on over 25 private acres in the foothills of the Berkshires, ideally situated between the Hudson River Valley and the Berkshires. Designed for both gracious living and effortless entertaining, the estate offers six to nine beautifully appointed bedrooms, including three full suites, five bathrooms, multiple fireplaces, a fully stocked eat-in kitchen, and an elegant formal dining room—seamlessly blending timeless sophistication with modern comfort. Recreation and relaxation abound, with a spacious in-ground pool, a tranquil pond, and direct access to miles of hiking and snowshoeing trails, including those of the Old Chatham Hunt Club. Indoors, a full gym, game and entertainment room with arcade favorites, home theater, and a library of hundreds of books invite endless enjoyment, while a finished attic and a 4,500-square-foot barn with foosball, ping pong, and bar space provide additional areas for leisure and gatherings. Every detail has been thoughtfully attended to, from fiber-optic internet and a full-house generator to weekly pool and grounds maintenance, ensuring ease of ownership and year-round comfort. Since 2011, Bellavista has been maintained as a premier private estate, equally suited as a full- or part-time residence, a multigenerational retreat, or a hybrid work-from-home haven, also offering a successful proven 5-Star luxury rental business. Just minutes from Chatham, Hudson, and Kinderhook—and a short drive to Lenox, Stockbridge, and Great Barrington—the property is surrounded by farm-to-table dining, art galleries, organic markets, and the renowned Crandell Theater. Convenient access via the Taconic Parkway or I-87 from New York City, I-90 from Boston, Amtrak to Penn Station, and Albany International Airport makes Bellavista as accessible as it is extraordinary.
