Need an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life? Look no further than Willem Dafoe’s picturesque retreat, nestled in the heart of New York’s serene Hudson Valley.
The legendary “Spider-Man” actor, 68, known for his versatile roles, has just put up his pastoral Ulster County paradise, sprawling across 5.7 acres, for a cool $1.27 million.
Dafoe’s journey with this idyllic property began in 2008 when he snagged one acre near the village of High Falls for $400,000. Later, he expanded his slice of countryside heaven by acquiring an additional 4.7 acres for $60,000 around five years after, according to property records.
Tucked away amidst thick woodland, just below the historic Mohonk Mountain House resort, the estate boasts a main cottage spanning approximately 1,800 square feet, a quaint barn nestled under an apple tree, and an enchanting writer’s cabin linked to the main house by a stone pathway.
Dating back to the 1920s, the two-story cottage has received a chic makeover that tastefully melds contemporary elements with its original vintage charm.
