Property Description

There is a point along the private road where the outside world seems to disappear. Travel nearly half a mile beneath a canopy of trees before turning onto a long private drive, where old stacked stone walls guide you another quarter mile through the landscape. And then, almost unexpectedly, Quarry Ridge reveals itself.Set against the Catskill Mountains and surrounded by 12.4 private acres, this modern farmhouse has a quiet presence that feels entirely at home here. Just beyond the house, a magnificent meadow opens within a frame of old bluestone walls. It is the kind of place that immediately makes you imagine what could be.
