Upstate New York

Privacy that still keeps life within easy reach of beloved towns and hamlets. Each property treats the outdoors as a true extension of the home, whether through wooded acreage, trails and creekside wanderings, a swimmable pond with hill views, resort-style pool and hot tub living near Saratoga Springs, nearly 30 acres with a barn and farmhouse porches, or rare level frontage on Owasco Lake. Intentional design and entertaining-ready layouts complete the common thread.

Across upstate New York, this quintet traces a shared devotion to landscape—lakefront horizons, mountain and pond views, and acres that feel deliberately apart. From Sylvia Lake and Corlear Bay to secluded Spencer and Harpersfield retreats, outdoor living is framed as an everyday ritual, with decks, porches, and timber-crafted structures designed to hold the scenery. The collection also spans lifestyles: a Saratoga Springs duplex near the NYRA racetrack and downtown, and private compounds built for long stays, hobbies, and multigenerational use.

Homes designed around leisure, hosting, and the easy rhythm of indoor-outdoor living. Mountain and Seneca Lake vistas, a fully refreshed year-round lake retreat, and a Kingston residence that balances city convenience with wooded privacy all extend life beyond the walls. Craftsmanship and thoughtful updates recur throughout, along with great rooms, fireplaces, flexible bonus spaces, and primary suites that read as true owner retreats.

Privacy that never feels isolated, paired with access that elevates everyday life. From Adirondack acreage with deeded docking and a shared sandy beach on Loon Lake to an updated retreat on Lake Simon with direct connections to the Big Tupper and Raquette waterways, water remains a defining amenity. Elsewhere, a 2022-built sanctuary sits two blocks from Main Street beside preserve and trail networks, while a documented, owner-engineered hillside home and a historic village estate offer flexible space for year-round living and entertaining.

Homes shaped by land, light, and a sense of remove. A waterfront compound on Little Wolf Lake invites shared summers with room for guests, while a brand-new Catskills retreat pairs panoramic views with smart infrastructure and a flexible lower level. In Big Flats, a newly built residence in Quarry Lane reflects polished neighborhood living. Farther south, a woodland sanctuary near the Appalachian Trail balances trailside privacy with Arlington schools. Roxbury’s storied Victorian “Wunmore” adds rare heritage and provenance.

Across upstate New York and the Hudson Valley, this quintet of homes shares a clear affection for lifestyle-led living, where porches, decks, balconies, and yards extend daily routines outdoors. From a remodeled retreat on 4.7 private acres near ATV and snowmobile trails to a flexible neighborhood home with a covered front porch, each setting invites time outside. Keeseville anchors the collection with a loft-and-balcony hideaway and a Lake Champlain shoreline standout framed by sweeping views, while a Cape Cod in Cornwall-on-Hudson offers village charm and room to personalize.

Across New York, this quintet shows how setting can shape value and everyday rhythm. From a brand-new double-wide on 4.28 country acres in Preston Hollow to a tiny log-sided retreat on a landscaped acre in East Durham, land anchors privacy and ease. Oneida Lake brings a rarer angle: a waterfront lot with 70 feet of frontage at the canal mouth. Near Rhinebeck, a modernist upstate retreat frames bucolic calm through clerestory light. Geneseo rounds out the mix with a fully leased commercial holding on 3.5 acres.

Across upstate New York, this quintet shows how distinctive architecture and practical upgrades can shape daily life. A thoughtfully enhanced townhome near Troy emphasizes low-maintenance flexibility, while a fully reimagined mid-century modern in Corning pairs preserved character with 2021 craftsmanship and an indoor-outdoor setting. A custom new-build in Schoharie leans into open-concept versatility, and an 1892 Victorian in Niagara Falls offers historic scale with key updates. Rounding out the five is a private Finger Lakes chalet retreat with protected land, solar power, and valley views.

Spaces that can evolve with the way people live and work today. In Horseheads, generous square footage pairs with substantial garage and workshop capacity. Stamford offers a circa-1920 carriage house on acreage with a sense of local history. Troy presents a large-bedroom home near parks and community amenities, updated for modern needs. Philmont’s former medical office invites creative conversion, while Chester provides a cleared, utility-ready lot in a mature subdivision.
