Once part of George Inness Jr's iconic 350-acre Chetolah estate.

An additional cabin is located to the east of the house that has tremendous potential as a guest house or studio once restored. Steeped in deep nature and history, the home was named Breezy Brow and built for Inness's daughter and maintains many of the original circa 1901 details; coffered ceilings, rich woodwork, 2 fireplaces and multiple covered porches to enjoy the views and nature. Special pigments have been used for the interior of the home. The quaint mountaintop community of Cragsmoor is home to many lovely historic homes, but very few have the level of privacy and lot size this property offers, coupled with adjacent preserve lands to ensure its ongoing serenity and beauty.
