There's a quiet kind of luxury that comes from space, elevation, and complete privacy. This property captures it effortlessly. Perched high at 1,450 feet, 165 Vaughn Hill is a private retreat set on 15+ acres and surrounded by protected state land. The approach alone sets the tone: a winding, gravel drive opens to a Bluestone-framed entrance with thoughtfully designed gardens, and three spring-fed ponds that quietly anchor the landscape. The home is filled with natural light and framed by views in every direction. The Great Room is the heart of it all - centered around an Enviro-Tech masonry heater that brings both warmth and a sense of craftsmanship to the space. The kitchen is equally intentional - featuring Mountaineer Oak cabinetry, high-end stainless appliances, and a wet bar - designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. This private oasis offers flexibility for hosting, retreating, or simply spreading out and enjoying the quiet. Above the carport sits a bonus skylit loft space - perfect for an art studio, reading room, yoga, or anything you can imagine. The lower level of the main house adds even more versatility - complete with a summer kitchen, office or gym space, and a stone patio overlooking the swimming pond - a setting that feels both grounded and expansive. Bordering Dutton Ridge State Park, the property offers direct access to nature while still being within reach - about 30 minutes to Windham and Hunter Mountain, less than an hour to Albany, and roughly three hours to NYC. A retreat in every sense of the word. (The revised tax estimate below is based on the anticipated reduction from new tax roll in May; the current annual taxes are $30,000.)
