Property Description
Private Country Estate with Sweeping Views on 28 Acres
Welcome to Camp George. This country retreat offers timeless charm and modern ease with panoramic views of the Taconic Range.
Nestled along a winding country road just outside the idyllic hamlet of Spencertown, this secluded 28-acre estate blends rustic elegance with contemporary updates for effortless four-season living. At its center, a warm, beautifully modernized log cabin that has been meticulously maintained invites you in with lofted ceilings, rich wood finishes, and abundant light-filled spaces throughout.
At the heart of the property is a striking 1,700-square-foot 1850s peg-and-awl barn, relocated from the Adirondacks and reimagined as the ultimate space for entertainment and retreat. Vaulted ceilings, a wet bar with triple sinks, chef-grade outdoor kitchen - complete with four-burner grill, smoker, and sink - and two sleeping lofts create the ideal setting for hosting friends and family in rustic-luxe style.
Just beyond the barn, a one-acre, stream-fed swimming pond with floating dock is ringed by manicured lawns, wooded trails, firepits, and multiple dining areas—perfect for starlit evenings and long summer days. A small vineyard of Cabernet Franc and Riesling vines brings a pastoral touch, while a detached garage with a poured-concrete foundation (with included golf cart) makes for easy roaming across the estate.
Though completely private, Camp George is ideally situated —just minutes from the beloved Hawthorne Valley Farm Store, and within easy reach of Great Barrington, Chatham, Copake Lake, Hudson, and Hillsdale. Albany International Airport and the Taconic State Parkway offer easy access to New York City (2 hours) and Boston.
Additional features include: freshly re-stained log exterior, extensive outdoor lighting, a home generator powering essential systems (heat, kitchen, Wi-Fi, and well pump), and a propane stove in the main kitchen, complemented by a second grill at the barn for large-scale entertaining.
Outdoor recreation abounds in every season. Whether you're hosting summer gatherings, enjoying autumn foliage, or skiing nearby at Catamount (10 minutes), Butternut, or Jiminy Peak in the winter, this estate offers a year-round lifestyle that's connected, yet incredibly private.
Just 30 minutes from cultural destinations like Tanglewood, Jacob's Pillow, and Art Omi, and close to top private schools, Camp George is more than a home, it is a private retreat, a gathering place, and a legacy property in the making.
