Home Details for 147 Rock City Road

Escape the hustle of city life and discover Bellavista Country Estate, a grand 12,000-square-foot Georgian brick residence set on over 25 private acres in the foothills of the Berkshires, ideally situated between the Hudson River Valley and the Berkshires. Offering 6 to 9 beautifully appointed bedrooms, including three full suites, five bathrooms, multiple fireplaces, and both a fully stocked eat-in kitchen and a formal dining room, the estate blends elegance and comfort with ease. Recreation and relaxation abound, with a spacious in-ground pool, a serene pond, and direct access to miles of hiking and snowshoeing trails, including those of the Old Chatham Hunt Club. Indoors, guests enjoy a full gym, a game and entertainment room with arcade favorites, a home theater, a library of hundreds of books, and a finished attic, while a 4,500-square-foot barn with foosball, ping pong, and bar space provides additional room for gatherings and events. Perfect for weddings, anniversaries, family celebrations, and private retreats, Bellavista also offers access to private chefs, caterers, and event planning support, with every detail—from fiber-optic internet and full-house generators to weekly pool and grounds maintenance—thoughtfully attended to. Since 2011, the estate has been a successful luxury rental for vacations and retreats, equally suited to private full- or part-time residence, a hybrid work-from-home escape, or an unforgettable destination getaway. Just minutes from Chatham, Hudson, and Kinderhook, and a short drive to Lenox, Stockbridge, and Great Barrington, the estate is surrounded by farm-to-table dining, art galleries, organic markets, and the renowned Crandell Theater, with easy access via the Taconic Parkway or I-87 from New York City, I-90 from Boston, Amtrak to Penn Station, or Albany International Airport.
