A couple hours north of New York City, one can find the hamlet of Wawarsing. Translating to “a place where the streams wind”, the Upstate village is known for its natural beauty. And, there, an expansive family compound known as Painter Hill Castle is currently asking $4.75 million.
Stretching across over 300 acres, the estate is made up of the main home, a guesthouse, and a vintage stone cottage and feels like a world of its own. Brought to life in 2008, the compound exudes old storybook charm thanks to its stone facades, enchanting gardens, and mix of rustic, rich-toned interiors and airy farmhouse vibes.
Brown is the “it” color of 2025, which is good news for buyers looking here. The four-bedroom main home was custom built, featuring red oak wood doors, soaring ceilings, and tons of charming nooks and crannies for optimal coziness. Channeling the rustic interior trends of 2008, a rich blend of brown tones and statement-making stone contribute to the grand yet warm feel, while open concept spaces make it a given for entertaining.
Nearby, two separate cottages await. Ideal for hosting overflow guests or even renting out to generate income, these houses provide an additional five bedrooms and three bathrooms. Best of all, they’re nestled amidst rolling greens and custom pathways. Both are is right by the heated gunite pool, too.
