The Blue Stone Colonial and Lake Paradise is truly an estate for the ages. The home is a stoic masterpiece rising high in the Catskill Mountains with style and grace of a centuries old estate that is masterfully blended with the amenities and luxury necessary of today's modern life. The full approach ascending the blacktop driveway divides two masonry pillars as the sky opens to the 3-car garage attached to the 3900 sqft bluestone house. On the left is a fenced in vegetable and herb garden with elegant and functional potting shed. On the right are terraced stonewalls and blacktop basketball court. The back yard is entirely fenced in with a SALT WATER POOL, a custom pool house with half bath and a TREEHOUSE that would make Pete Nelson from Treehouse masters envy. When you step inside the main house the high ceilings and open concept invite you straight to the CHEF'S KITCHEN that is open to both the living and dining areas allowing for maximum socialization and entertaining. There are two full masonry wood burning fireplaces, one in the first floor living area and another in the master bedroom on the second floor. The full basement is what dreams are really made of and leaves nothing to be desired. A full hardwood bar, commercial sink, wood burning BRICK PIZZA OVEN, WINE CELLAR, wood stove and pool table. Whether a man cave, kids game room, or whole family entertaining, this space is it! Over 138 ACRES of carefully managed land for wildlife there is a mixture of deciduous and coniferous forest and an expansive trail network leading to Lake Paradise. Approximately 15 acres, the lake is an absolute wildlife and aquatic sanctuary. Perch, pickerel and largemouth bass are just a few of the target fish. This is an absolute sportsman's dream for anyone that enjoys the outdoors. From the house to the grounds, this is an estate that blends art and engineering together in an incredible masterpiece that is equal parts of form and function. No details were overlooked here. If an estate that will last generations is what you are looking for, you need not look any further. Schedule your private tour today to fully appreciate all this one has to offer.
