Welcome to The Mill Pond House & Inn - a rare opportunity to own a historic waterfront residence offering extraordinary live/work flexibility in the heart of Jefferson, NY. Originally built in 1879 as a working grain and saw mill, this landmark property was meticulously restored in 2018 with every system rebuilt from the studs out, blending historic authenticity with modern comfort and infrastructure. Today, the property offers the scale and character of a grand private residence while retaining remarkable versatility for those seeking a lifestyle property, retreat, or income-producing opportunity. Set along the scenic Mill Pond, the property offers tranquil water views, a private waterfall, and a charming walking path that encircles the pond - creating a peaceful and picturesque setting rarely found in the Catskills. The main level offers expansive gathering spaces that translate beautifully to residential living. The former dining and event areas provide dramatic entertaining rooms, studio or gallery space, or the potential for large open-concept living areas. Multiple seating areas, fireplaces, and flexible rooms allow for effortless adaptation into a spacious private home, family compound, artist retreat, or wellness destination. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A sweeping deck overlooks the pond, offering exceptional space for dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the calming water views and surrounding landscape. The second floor currently offers five private suites, each with its own full bath, providing an ideal layout for guest accommodations, extended family living, or continued boutique hospitality use. A dedicated service and laundry space supports both residential or income-generating configurations. The detached Carriage House adds another exceptional layer of flexibility. Currently outfitted with a wood/gas pizza oven and bar, the structure easily lends itself to use as a guest house, studio, workshop, event barn, or creative space. With ample parking spaces and Jefferson's rare no-zoning designation, the property allows unparalleled freedom of use. Owners may choose to enjoy the property purely as a private waterfront residence, operate a boutique inn, create a live/work compound, or explore hospitality, retreat, or event-based ventures. Located in the historic Village of Jefferson - recently added to the National Register of Historic Places - the property is ideally positioned near year-round Catskills recreation including skiing, hiking, and easy access to Cooperstown, making it a natural destination for both personal enjoyment and potential guest accommodations. Additional adjacent 50 acre developable land parcel as well as ''the Parsonage House'' available for interested parties as a separate offering. Historic, adaptable, and deeply rooted in Catskills heritage, The Mill Pond House & Inn offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a truly unique lifestyle property.
