“If this home isn’t in the next Pixar film I am going to be very upset,” the Zillow Gone Wild social media post read. Based on the $1,955,000 cottage’s enchanting aesthetic, it’s a fair point.
Located in Jefferson, New York, the cottage rests upon 171 acres of “hardwood forests, open meadows, streams and ponds,” the listing said. The cottage itself features four bedrooms and five bathrooms across its 4,200 square feet.
While the home’s exterior looks like something out of a fairytale, it is the interior that is truly enchanting. From the owl eyes etched into the wooden stairs to the cozy, cobblestone fireplace, it’s a home perfect for any interested in living within their own fairytale.
Located in New York’s Catskill Mountains, the home is one of many unique and luxurious realty opportunities in the area.
“The statement building on the property, also very privately sited, is a thatched roof cottage that would be at home in a writing of the Brothers Grimm,” the listing said. “This cottage is a piece of art unto itself with many unusual and complex details requiring incredible skill to not only conceive but also realize. There is a great room with a stone fireplace, vaulted beamed ceiling and barley twist central column support, hardwood floors and rustic stairway that leads to a single second floor bedroom and en-suite bath.
“This bedroom has a charming covered porch accessed via French doors with views of the surrounding countryside. Also on the first floor is a small drawing room, powder room, unique ‘secret’ room behind a bookcase, vestibule with marble tile floor, and compact kitchen with custom cabinets and marble counters.”
The cottage is also not the only building on the sprawling estate.
“The original farmhouse with its large dairy barn greets you at the entrance of the property,” the listing said. “This house has been updated with a modern kitchen and two full baths, three bedrooms and includes such features as hardwood floors, crown molding, wood burning fireplace, central air conditioning and a two-car garage. Just a short distance from the farmhouse is the studio building. Sited in a private meadow overlooking a tranquil pond, this Norman inspired building with its slate clad Mansard roof, Quoined corners and unique exterior finishes contains approximately 3000 square feet of space with high ceilings, chestnut floors and elaborate trim and moldings throughout.”
