The hideout: Eccentric charm hidden in tall timber amid manicured meadows and neighboring horse farms. Privacy insured: only towering hemlock, deer, wild turkey, and cattle for neighbors. Strole gardens, meadows, and country byways overlooking picture-perfect far-distant Catskill mountains and lake views. It's unique in that there's no clutter in any viewscape from anywhere on the property. This protected 30-acre retreat is midway between Berkshire County, MA, and the Albany Capital District. It's 131 miles (a 2-1/2-hour drive) north of Manhattan via the always-scenic Taconic State Parkway. The restored villages of "The Chathams" are a scenic ten-minute drive south. The area is known for leisure homes of New York City movie and media moguls.
