About this home
Welcome to Twelve Ponds Estate, a storied Catskills property spanning more than 100 private acres of lakes, forests, and open pasture. A successful destination venue and working farm, this extraordinary estate offers a rare opportunity to own one of upstate New York’s most distinctive event and lodging properties, less than three hours from New York City.
At the heart of the property stands the Victorian-era farmhouse, lovingly restored and expanded to include seven true bedrooms, three semi-private sleeping lounges, and six bathrooms. Nearly every bedroom overlooks the private lake, creating a feeling of calm retreat. Period-correct Andersen windows, multiple fireplaces, and carefully restored finishes preserve the home’s historic character while providing modern comfort. The farmhouse sits beside manicured lawns and spring-fed ponds, with views framed by rolling hills, forest trails, and distant mountain peaks.
Nearby, the post-and-beam barn has been transformed into a breathtaking entertainment venue. With original Saratoga nunnery leaded glass windows, custom walnut sliding doors, and both indoor and outdoor bars, it offers a uniquely atmospheric setting for weddings, performances, or private events. The barn includes a dance floor, catering kitchen, mezzanine lounge, and three bathrooms, all heated and air-conditioned for year-round use. Across the property, a series of outdoor gathering spaces create moments of wonder: the lakeside greenhouse pavilion and deck, the starlit Observatory Garden with its advanced telescope and whiskey-barrel hightops, and a “Circle of Life” stone sculpture nestled amid forest lighting and winding stone paths.
The observatory is one of the estate's most singular features, and its origins are part of the property's remarkable history. From 1969 to 1989, Twelve Ponds Estate was home to Wojciech Fangor (1922–2015), one of the most celebrated Polish artists of the twentieth century and the first Polish artist to hold a solo exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum. A lifelong astronomer, Fangor built the wooden observatory in 1983. Scholars have noted the direct connection between his years of celestial observation here and the pulsating color fields of his most iconic canvases. The observatory stands today equipped with a modern computerized Celestron telescope; with virtually no light pollution on the property, the rings of Saturn are visible to the naked eye through the eyepiece.
Twelve Ponds Estate is as practical as it is poetic. Behind its storybook beauty lies an infrastructure designed for both private enjoyment and commercial success. The estate features three 200-amp electric services, multiple wells, a gated entrance, and extensive exterior lighting. A newly built, town-approved private road ensures total seclusion, while a network of cleared trails and fenced pastures invite exploration. Designed for both private enjoyment and commercial success, this is a rare offering of beauty, scale, and seclusion....
