Built in 1988 on more than three landscaped acres, the residence carries six bedrooms and five bathrooms across a reported 6,210 square feet.

Statement chandeliers, designer wall coverings and whole-house sound carry through interiors that also take in formal living and dining rooms, a sunroom, a bonus room and a private office with its own bath and separate exterior entrance.
Upstairs, the primary suite holds a wood-burning fireplace, a sitting area, a walk-in closet and a spa-style bath, joined by four more bedrooms, two full baths, dual staircases and a second laundry room.

No. 2 — $2,100,000 · 108 High Pond Road, Summit, New York
Twelve Ponds Estate, a Catskills property spanning more than 100 private acres at 108 High Pond Road in Summit, recorded an August 12, 2026 closing at $2,100,000, the second-highest reported price in the metro area that week. Lakes, forest, open pasture and spring-fed ponds surround an 1887 Victorian farmhouse of a reported 6,622 square feet.
The restored and expanded farmhouse holds seven bedrooms, three semi-private sleeping lounges and six bathrooms, with nearly every bedroom facing the private lake. Period-correct Andersen windows, multiple fireplaces and restored period finishes carry its nineteenth-century character, and the lawns beyond open to rolling hills, forest trails and distant mountain peaks.
A post-and-beam barn has been converted into an event venue fitted with original Saratoga nunnery leaded glass windows, custom walnut sliding doors, indoor and outdoor bars, a dance floor, a catering kitchen, a mezzanine lounge and three bathrooms, all heated and air-conditioned for year-round use. Other gathering areas include a lakeside greenhouse pavilion and deck and an Observatory Garden.
Listing materials trace that observatory to the Polish painter Wojciech Fangor, who lived on the property from 1969 to 1989 and built the wooden structure in 1983; identified in those materials as the first Polish artist to hold a solo exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum, he left a building that now houses a computerized Celestron telescope. The estate operates as a working farm and destination venue, with three 200-amp electric services, multiple wells, a gated entrance, fenced pastures and a newly built, town-approved private road.
Anthony Dargenzio and Eva Reece of Houlihan Lawrence Inc. were the listing agents. The $2,100,000 closing placed them at the listing side of the No. 2 transaction in RealtyWire’s Albany Metro Area Top 5 for the week ending August 16, 2026.

Outside, a deck overlooking the mountains adjoins a large blue stone patio, an inground saltwater heated pool with a new liner and a hot tub, set among professionally landscaped grounds with a playhouse and a custom shed, both wired for electricity. A flat driveway and a three-car garage serve the house, and recent improvements include a roof less than three years old with a transferable warranty, dual-zone furnaces and central air conditioning.
