Heathcote....history
& horticulture...
A significant Cooperstown Village
estate, nationally renown for its gardens,
locally known for its exceptional setting as a
cultural respite...
As featured in House Beautiful, Country Living,
Martha Stewart Living, and on PBS...
Heathcote is an outstanding property. Known for
its lush historic gardens, and long a home for
members of the Cooper family, the opportunities
are endless to enjoy country life here. The home
was originally a large Victorian summer house
known as the Owl's Nest, until redesigned in the
mid 1920's by the Cooper family as part of the
Colonial Revival.
Consider its use as a magnificent summer place,
substantial family home with endless
entertainment capabilities, or possibly as an
unsurpassed Cooperstown bed and breakfast or
select resort. There are numerous fireplaces -
almost one in each bedroom...an immense ballroom,
handsome library, muraled walls of Cooperstown
scenes painted by Agnes Tait, a spectacular newer
kitchen, substantial dining room, and endless
quiet spots to gather... The home contains six
complete bedrooms with baths, and in addition,
several other smaller bedrooms and baths.
Just a 5-minute walk to Main Street or
Bassett...and where else can you live in town,
yet literally be at the edge of 1000's of acres
of land to enjoy outdoor activity? The house is
approximately 7200 square feet, located on over 4
acres of land. Its gardens, designed in the
1920's by Ellen Biddle Shipman, are a romantic
landscape of magnificent oak trees, lush
naturalized shade planting and an abundant formal
border, maintained in keeping with the ideals of
the Garden Conservancy.
This home's availability is your
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. No need to merely
read about it...live it!
Offered by Glimmerglass Realty for $975,000. |
