Step into your story
The Paddock is a thoughtfully renovated country estate in East Durham that balances tranquility with practical opportunity. Set behind a private gate, the property encompasses two fully updated homes, a flexible two-story barn, and multiple outbuildings across open meadows and wooded trails. Currently operating as a successful Airbnb with an established booking history that transfers at closing, it offers income potential alongside personal use.
The main house kitchen combines functionality with inviting style, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar that encourages lingering conversations. Its open design keeps the cook connected to guests in the living areas. Large windows flood the space with natural light and forest views, making every meal preparation a connection with the surrounding beauty.
From weeknight dinners to ambitious culinary projects
This living space captures the essence of peaceful country living with its seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Expansive glass doors frame picturesque woodland views, bringing nature's tranquility inside. The harmonious blend of contemporary and rustic elements creates a retreat-like atmosphere where you can truly unwind and reconnect with what matters most.
Where calm becomes a way of life
Embrace every season in comfort
The standout feature is a three-season sun-room that captures natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows and is anchored by warm brick flooring. Wraparound glass panels frame verdant woodland views while exposed wooden beams add rustic charm overhead. The propane stove provides warmth on chilly evenings, making this the perfect spot for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or casual entertaining with friends.
The main house offers two bedrooms designed with comfort and privacy in mind. The primary suite functions as a personal retreat with direct access to a spa-like bathroom that elevates the daily routine. Both bedrooms benefit from the home's overall sense of calm and the natural light that filters through the property. The sleeping quarters are thoughtfully separated from the living spaces, creating distinct zones for rest and relaxation.
Rest easy in your personal retreat
Refresh and recharge in style
The main house features two bathrooms, with the primary suite's spa-like design standing as a clear highlight. This space includes a luxurious steam shower that transforms ordinary mornings into restorative rituals. Quality fixtures and thoughtful finishes throughout both bathrooms reflect the care taken during the home's renovation. The attention to detail in these private spaces reinforces the property's emphasis on comfort and well-being.
Discover endless possibilities
The guest cottage is a self-contained two-bedroom, one-bath residence. A welcoming covered patio extends the living space outdoors, creating an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening unwinding. The cottage offers privacy from the main house while maintaining its own distinct character and charm. Whether used for extended guests or as a continued rental income stream, this versatile building expands the property's possibilities significantly.
Find your perfect outdoor moment
The Paddock's landscape unfolds as a series of scenic trails wind through the woods, leadding to elevated rock ledges and natural overlooks. The two-story barn has been reimagined as an adaptable gathering space, equally suited for a variety of uses, with its lofted interior and covered outdoor section. A tranquil pond offers a focal point, while the fire pit provides a natural gathering spot, and multiple sheds and a one-car garage handle practical storage needs.
The surrounding Greene County delivers year-round recreation, from skiing and hiking at Windham and Hunter Mountains to golfing at courses in Freehold, Round Top, and Catskill, alongside art galleries and antique shops scattered throughout the region. The location strikes an appealing balance—remote enough to feel like an escape, yet accessible enough for regular visits, with New York City just 2.5 hours away.
