Take a ride in the scenic mountains near Tannersville NY and you will have the opportunity to wander down a magical drive that will transport you back in time to the Golden Age of The Catskills, and to Caddam Hill. Once the home of the famous actress Maude Adams, you can hear echoes of a time gone by from every corner of the estate's 31 acres, which are comprised of majestic mountain views, an extensive trail system that passes a spring-fed pond, and lovely sparkling streams. The estate's acreage offers an abundance of natural beauty and privacy for your exclusive enjoyment; but, meander among the trees, and you'll also connect to the Mountain Top Arboretum (156 acres of protected land) and Hunter Foundation (136 acres) which are both adjacent to this property, as is the well-known artist and writer's retreat, Onteora Club - where Maude Adams once mounted theatricals with friends. The warmth and charm that envelopes you when you walk through the front door of Caddam Hill follows throughout the home. Enter the stunning great room, take in the original woodwork, beams & gleaming oak floors - the stone fireplace will surely capture your attention until you look through the antique windows at the spectacular mountain views. Breathtaking sunsets can be enjoyed from every room on the south side of the house and from the expansive wrap-around deck. This beautiful, historic property from the 1900's has been updated for modern comfort and practicality in every way imaginable, without losing any of its prodigious original character. If the walls could talk the stories would amaze you. Standout spaces include a well-appointed chef's kitchen, billiards room, media room, gym, a cozy bar, and elegant primary suite with fireplace. Caddam Hill is convenient to the many attractions in the vibrant 4-season Catskills community: Kaaterskill Falls, Twilight Park, Hunter Mountain Ski Resort, the trails of Catskill Park, Colonial Country Club, Colgate Lake, the charming Village of Tannersville, performing arts venues, restaurants (it's a mere 0.2 miles to The Deer Mountain Inn), and area festivals are just of few of the nearby notables. - WELCOME TO CADDAM HILL. Further history on both Maude Adams and Caddam Hill: A legendary Catskills estate, designed and built for the iconic stage actress Maude Adams, has been listed for sale. This historic property, located at 863 County Road 25 in Tannersville, NY, has captivated enthusiasts of theatre and architecture alike and represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of New York’s history. Maude Adams was one of America's greatest stage legends and the highest-paid actress of her time. She was a lauded producer and theatrical designer, who in collaboration with General Electric invented new lighting technologies that were used on the stage and off. She was most celebrated during her life for her on-stage portrayal of Peter Pan in the early 20th century. Her Catskills home at 863 County Road 25 in Tannersville, NY was designed by renowned architect George Reid and built for Adams who christened it “Caddam Hill”. The house was once part of the storied Onteora Club, the original Catskills artists’ retreat which, according to one of its founders Frank Thurber, “grew by an accident of friendship, the human instinct for congenial companionship, the desire to draw people whom we loved into an almost unknown realm of beauty. . . . where we could build a camp or cabin and live the wild life for a little space.” Maude Adams was a member of their club, pioneering the spirit of creativity inspired by nature that still characterizes the Catskills region today. A walk through the house and grounds at Caddam Hill is a walk back to a wilder time filled with creativity and a connection to nature.
