Property Description
This magical living and working estate is tailored for artists, entertainers, or anyone seeking a peaceful yet vibrant lifestyle. With its perfect blend of space, elegance, and inspiration, this is a rare opportunity to embrace the artistic life you dream about.
Walking distance from a picturesque village, this property offers exceptional country living with impressive options for those seeking artistry, tranquility, and natural beauty. 3 livable buildings, inc. 1860 Classic American Farmhouse, a Gambrel-roofed Shotgun Guest House, and Modern 37x70 Art Studio (w bath & kitchenette), sited on 15 acres of “Gin Hill” just outside of Bovina Center NY.
The main house (circa 1860), exudes timeless charm with an inviting rocking chair porch, and stunning period details like the striking Victorian-era 2-story bay windows that provide increased natural light and ventilation, expand the interior space, and add a touch of grandeur and sophistication to the home. Anchoring the open-air kitchen, these windows throw light off cherrywood floors to create an atmosphere that is at once warm and welcoming on cool days, and, when open, invite a comfortable and fresh airflow during even the clammiest dog days of August. The attached glassed-in summer room makes a wonderful family room. Listen to the leaves rustling in the trees outside as the scent of lilac and freshly cut grass fills the atmosphere.
A modern kitchen inspires creativity, w a large center island space for advanced culinary creations & easy entertaining with friends still nearby. This spacious living area radiates warmth and character which is further enhanced on cold winter days by the new Jotul wood-burning stove in the corner. A convenient half-bath is next to the kitchen, and a mud-room/pantry opens onto a fenced stone patio ideal for morning coffee and al fresco meals.
1st floor bedroom w 3 windows looking onto the covered rocking-chair porch, plus a private palatial lavatory with arched-glass windows, and centerpiece clawfoot tub.
The classic center-hall stairs are secured by a robust yet elegant carved baluster to the 2nd floor where you'll find 3 additional bedrooms (one with a hidden stained-glass pocket door) and a nice-sized central full bath.
Let your artistic dreams bloom in the custom-made 30x70 art studio, a haven for creativity outfitted with full electrical service, a wood stove, a workshop area, a full bath, and a kitchenette. The high ceilings, open floorplan and radiant heat poured concrete floor, and even a roll up door in the back for convenience. This space is an artist's dream come true.
The charming guest cottage, with its sloped Gambrel roof & white clapboard siding will take your breath away! Start with the joyous wall treatments throughout the space. Add in a charming single bedroom with full bath, and an innovative kitchen space, and you have a terrific destination for all your guests, short-term or longer stays. The second half of the guest cottage is a workout space – think yoga, meditation, TRX and Peloton – wrapped in walls of reclaimed barn wood.
There is accommodation for pets, too! An animal barn with fenced paddock & space for garden tractor. The thriving vegetable garden has a small greenhouse. And a potting shed. Finally, the beautifully shaped swimming pool, complemented by a pool house and cozy sitting areas, where you can unwind and soak in the serene surroundings.
This perfect blend of space, elegance, and inspiration, this Bovina Center gem, is a rare opportunity to embrace the artistic life you have always dreamed of. Your enchanting retreat awaits—come and make it your own!
