Founder and President of Concierge Auctions, Laura Brady, stated: "When deciding whether to accept a property into our inventory at Concierge Auctions, we ask the same questions that sophisticated prospective buyers ask: Does the home feature unique and desirable amenities? Is the home situated in a beautiful setting? For Bluestone Acres, we were able to check all of these boxes, and then had to add a few more. The home goes beyond what we've seen from other high-end upstate estates, and its accessibility to New York City is obviously a spectacular asset."

Listing Agent Maxine Schulte stated: "Bluestone Acres is the ultimate residence, but it is also ideally situated so that its owner can take advantage of the wonderful areas within close proximity to the property. The home is only 45 minutes from Woodbury Commons, the number one tourist attraction outside of New York City in New York State. It is a stone's throw from some of the most beautiful lakes and skiing opportunities the Catskills have to offer. It is only ninety minutes from New York City by car or, for the traveler who prefers transport to the city by a more exotic means, the owner can land his or her own helicopter on the property. Bluestone Acres balances privacy with accessibility in a totally unique way, and I can't wait to see the kind of lifestyle it will allow its next owner."

Bluestone Acres' owner stated: "Bluestone Acres is one of the most relaxing homes on earth. It is quiet and surrounded by stunning beauty twelve months of the year. While it's known as 'the perfect place to open a book,' for the activity-minded, there's also something for everyone -- my friends love racing around the nearby Monticello Motor Club, I love hitting balls on the tennis court, and that's not to mention the skiing, golfing, fishing, and hunting opportunities for which this area is renowned. This home is one-of-a-kind, and we're looking forward to handing it off to the right owner who will appreciate it as much as we have."

The auction of Bluestone Acres, located at 419 River Road in Fallsburg, New York, will be held live on November 6^th. A 2.5% commission is offered to the buyer's representing broker. The property is available for preview from 1-4pm daily and by appointment. See Auction Terms and Conditions for full details. For more information, call (212) 259-0518.
