Pine Plains, NY

Stretching across the top of 29 wildflower-blanketed acres on the southern ridge of Winchell Mountain, with commanding Catskills views, lies High View Farm. Inspired by the rolling farmland & expansive blue skies of this very special part of the Hudson Valley, the Architectural & Interior Design duo HallidayGreer collaborated with Architect Graydon Yearick to create a one-of-a-kind living experience. Using sustainable natural materials & state-of-the-art building technology, High View Farm is a perfect synthesis of contemporary modernism & rural barn. Working primarily with local artisans, they have created the ultimate combination of comfort & understated luxury. Relying on the endless power of the sun & the constant, cool temperature of geothermal energy they’ve realized a passive, architecturally-inspired EcoLux compound that will excite and endure for generations. The 5500 sf, 5 BR/5 BA main house has 3 primary suites and 2 additional ensuite guest rooms. The bedrooms, all with spectacular views, are generously proportioned with custom millwork closets with oak interiors. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with an AGA Mercury induction stove, a Thermador fridge, an appliance pantry, 2 dishwashers, full butler’s pantry with wine refrigeration, and a Miele integrated coffee system. The great room has a masonry fireplace & dining for 14 people. A lovely fire pit area for cooler summer & autumn evenings is just past the pool and up the ridge from the built-in BBQ. There are 2 additional structures on the property. First, a 30 x 40 mortice & tenon barn with pine & oak hand-hewn beams assembled by local Connecticut barn builders, with room for 2 cars, and a hayloft easily convertible to additional living space. High View Farm…”Not that far from everywhere but a world away” is a homage to the rich history and diversity of the area’s rural farming community with an equally engaged commitment to the future.
