Set amidst the rolling hills of Windham, New York, Bell Hill Farm is a property steeped in heritage and built with vision. Nestled on 47 acres with panoramic views over a lake and the surrounding Catskill Mountains, the estate reflects a lifetime of thoughtful expansion and craftsmanship. Chief Bricks is proud to have played a part in its latest evolution, supplying 2,500 reclaimed jumbo cobblestones to enhance the driveways, garage fronts, and pathway borders of this extraordinary property.
Covering 1,500 square feet, the cobblestones now ground the entrance experience in authentic character and enduring strength. Their weathered surfaces and generous size add a subtle gravitas to the scene, just as much at home under a pickup truck as they are under a powder-dusted ski boot. The result is both durable and undeniably beautiful, creating a surface that’s not just for driving on, but for admiring.
Bell Hill Farm itself tells the story of a family that has made Windham home for generations. Avid skiers and nature lovers, they’ve reimagined their land over time with curated renovations, transforming barns, stables, and living quarters with a clear eye for timeless materials and modern comfort. The home’s crisp white siding and bold black window framing strike a contemporary chord, while the handcrafted stonework and wood accents tie it back to the earth.
This transformation takes place against the backdrop of a dramatically shifting Windham Mountain. Recently rebranded as the Windham Mountain Club, the resort has undergone over $70 million in renovations, with high-end restaurants and exclusive amenities now geared toward affluent New York City clientele.
But places like Bell Hill Farm reflect a different kind of luxury, one rooted in place, family, and a respect for materials that stand the test of time. The use of reclaimed cobblestones isn’t just a design decision; it’s a statement about sustainability, continuity, and pride in craft. These are not stones pulled from a factory mold, but pieces of urban history, given a second life on a mountaintop estate.
At Chief Bricks, we’re honored to work with clients who understand the value of authenticity and quality. Bell Hill Farm exemplifies this spirit, where every renovation is intentional, and every material tells a story.
