By Awais Manzoor

1 min read

Across upstate New York, a trio of private acreage retreats shows how seclusion and everyday livability can coexist. Each property sits on roughly five to 13.5 acres, where trails, wildlife, and outdoor gathering spaces shape a recreation-first rhythm—from snowmobile access to a location near Thacher State Park to a spring-fed, stocked pond. Inside, flexible plans extend well beyond the main level, with finished basements and dedicated office-ready rooms designed for work, guests, and multigenerational stays.

Set on 13.5 acres in Richfield Springs, this two-home retreat pairs modern-rustic design with real flexibility for living and rental income. The main house is arranged as a four-bedroom with two beautifully finished baths, an open-concept layout, cathedral ceiling, mudroom, spacious family room, and a large loft office space. A chef-approved kitchen is complemented by new appliances (2024), while the jetted jacuzzi tub and a completely dry full basement—previously used as a gym—round out the comforts. The second home adds two bedrooms, one bath, abundant natural light, and a strong rental history. Outside, each residence has its own entrance, parking, fire pit, and covered porch/patio, plus high-speed internet and strong cell service for remote work. Trails, a hobby pond, stone patio, and direct access to NYS snowmobile trails invite year-round days outdoors.

Surrounded by over five pristine acres in Unadilla, this custom contemporary retreat (built in 2011) pairs quiet countryside with everyday ease—just minutes from the Village of Unadilla and I-88. Wooded trails, wildlife, and a spring-fed stocked pond set the tone outdoors, edged with blooming iris and often visited by Blue Herons. Inside, an open-concept layout brings in abundant natural light, anchored by a living room with cathedral ceilings and warm wood finishes. The kitchen is designed for real use, with Corian countertops, a center island, and stainless steel appliances flowing into the dining area. Four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, office space, a large family room, bonus rooms, a sunroom, and a fully finished basement with large bedrooms and a full bathroom offer remarkable flexibility. A deck with a retractable awning overlooks the pond, with a patio, stone walls, perennial gardens, and a whole-house generator rounding out a life well set up for every season.
