An 85-Acre Contemporary Compound on Bald Mountain, in Austerlitz
Four buildings, a mountaintop, two ponds, and views of three mountain ranges — on one of Columbia County's more elevated sites.
Bald Mountain Road climbs into the Taconic hills of Austerlitz to a gated compound. This is a big, unusual property, 890 Bald Mountain Road, is 85 acres of ridge line property with four buildings—a main residence, two guest houses, and a workshop—built in 2007 in a style that leans fully into steel infrastructure and floor-to-ceiling glass.
The main house runs 6,438 square feet across a tri-level layout: five bedrooms, four full baths and one half, five fireplaces, reclaimed wood floors, a maple staircase, and an open plan that pushes the interior toward the views at every opportunity. A gunite pool sits below the house, framed by stone walls. Two ponds punctuate the meadows. Hiking trails traverse the property up to the mountaintop, where the Catskills, Berkshires, and Taconics come into view simultaneously.
The compound was listed at $10 million in December and is now asking $5.95 million — a significant reduction for anyone who has been watching it. A contiguous 75-acre parcel at 75 Upper Hollow Road is also available from the same owner, with a discount offered if purchased together.
890 Bald Mountain Road, Austerlitz, is listed at $5,950,000, offered by Janet Kain and Lisa Bouchard Hoe at The Kinderhook Group.
