The Silver Wings Compound is a unique and sprawling property set on 9+ enchanting acres at the base of Overlook Mountain. This unique offering has multiple structures including a main house, guest house, artist’s studio, barn and pool. A quintessential retreat, Silver Wings sits perched on a rocky bluff among majestic land with woodland and pasture views, a pond, stone walls, and access to an incredible 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, two fireplaces, and a bedroom suite on the main floor. There are two separate staircases leading upstairs to the second bedroom suite, cedar sauna, walk-out 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 an adorable eat-in kitchen, stone fireplace, two bedrooms, two 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. 

A peaceful park with a stone picnic table and benches surrounded by green grass, trees with light green leaves, and a stone wall in the background, bathed in warm sunlight.
White house with a red front door, black trim, and a small porch with white pillars, surrounded by green grass and trees, sunlight filtering through leaves.

Outside 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.
