15 Silver Wings Lane

The Silver Wings Compound is a unique and sprawling property set on 9+ enchanting acres at the base of Overlook Mountain. This special offering has multiple structures including a main house, guest house, artist's studio, barn and pool. A quintessential Woodstock retreat, Silver Wings sits perched on a rocky bluff among majestic land with woodland and pasture views, a pond, impressive stonework, and access to a walking trail leading to a viewpoint. This historically significant home was owned for over 50 years by the late Peter Mayer, a major figure in publishing and founder of The Overlook Press, hence the numerous built-in bookcases throughout. The main house is equipped with a cozy living/dining area, beamed ceilings, large vaulted great room, built-ins, bright eat-in kitchen, 2 fireplaces, and a bedroom suite on the main floor. There are two separate staircases leading upstairs to the second bedroom suite, cedar sauna, balcony, sitting room and another full bath. The house flows beautifully to the outdoors and adjacent buildings. The guest cottage sits next to the main house and has a sweet eat-in kitchen, stone fireplace, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a sunny desk nook. The Artist Studio is tucked in the woods with vaulted ceilings, full bathroom, and huge doors opening to the fire pit. There are many charming areas to enjoy the outdoors including stone patios, multiple decks, and across the pristine front yard is an in-ground pool with seasonal mountain views plus a pool house. This idyllic compound is just 7 minutes from the Village of Woodstock and under 2 hours to NYC.
