Bellavista Country Estate | A Private 60-Acre Hudson Valley Sanctuary

Set on 60 acres of rolling meadows, forested trails, and manicured grounds, this extraordinary 12,000-square-foot Georgian estate offers one of the most comprehensive private retreat experiences in the Hudson Valley–Berkshires corridor. Bellavista Country Estate is a destination in itself, combining the serenity of a country sanctuary with amenities typically found in world-class boutique resorts. Designed for multi-generational gatherings, celebrations, and extended stays, the estate offers complete seclusion while remaining minutes from nationally renowned cultural institutions, charming villages, and pristine natural landscapes.

A sense of timeless grandeur defines the interiors, where stately rooms blend classic architecture with warm, lived-in elegance. Guests enjoy multiple gathering spaces, including a formal dining room, a library with books for every age, a recreation room with arcade games and a home theater, and an in-house gym. The finished penthouse attic creates a lively second recreation zone, perfect for children or group gatherings. With six to nine bedrooms, depending on how the double suites are arranged, and five full bathrooms, the estate accommodates large groups effortlessly. Every room reflects thoughtful care: new mattresses, plush furnishings, and curated comforts that elevate both long and short stays.

The estate’s outdoor offerings are equally remarkable. An L-shaped in-ground pool anchors the summer season, surrounded by brick patios, perennial gardens, and open lawns ideal for games and events. A serene pond invites quiet contemplation, while miles of private trails wind through pastures and woodland for hiking, riding, or wildlife watching. Beyond the main residence, a 4,500-square-foot barn serves as an additional recreational or event space, equipped with ping pong, foosball, darts, and a rustic bar.

For longer stays, guests may elevate their experience with customized chef-prepared meals for up to 15 guests. From curated menus to professionally prepared dinners awaiting your arrival, the estate offers a seamless blend of luxury and ease, ideal for families hosting milestone celebrations, reunions, or simply savoring uninterrupted time together. Full-house generators, fiber-optic internet, weekly pool service, and meticulous groundskeeping ensure comfort in every season, while the property’s privacy makes it equally suited for intimate retreats or large-scale events.

Located in Old Chatham, the estate sits at the intersection of three sought-after regions: the Hudson Valley, the Berkshires, and New York’s Capital District. Within easy reach are ski resorts, cultural icons such as Tanglewood and Jacob’s Pillow, acclaimed farm-to-table restaurants, historic towns, and scenic preserves, including a 180-acre public conservation area with a 35 acre pond just minutes away. Offering unparalleled space, privacy, and amenity-rich living, Bellavista Country Estate is a rare sanctuary where families and friends can gather, celebrate, explore, and create cherished memories season after season.
