Potter Mountain House in Gilboa: A former Greek Revival church

  |  June 19, 2025

Potter Mountain House is a former church in Greek Revival style, reimagined into a five-bedroom estate in Gilboa.

The white-sided building still carries the staid lines of its previous iteration, replete with a bell tower.

The entrance is a mix of gravel and freeform stonework.

The foyer’s ceiling soars overhead, above a herringbone-tiled floor.

The great room has thick beams crossing the cathedral ceiling. An open-sided fireplace carries Midcentury Modern vibes.

The kitchen is comfortably modern, with marble counters spilling over waterfall edges on the sides of wide cabinets.

Complicated, rustic beams hang over the dining area, too.

This lil library area is amazing.

A wine cellar? Yes, please.

The house has five bedrooms and 4.5 baths. This bathroom has a soapstone-like vanity and checkerboard-floored shower.

A two-story, blue monochrome mural commands attention in this half bath.

This bedroom sits off of a triple-windowed hallway.

This bathroom seems to go on forever, with sinks on opposing walls and a deep, soaking tub on one corner of the black-and-white checkerboard floor.

This family room is cozy, just off the stairwell. Oh, and there’s a bar area in a nook, too.

Wake up to a sunny patio view each morning in this bedroom.

This bedroom has a single door out to the yard.

Twin pedestal sinks are the focal point in this black-and-white-tiled bathroom.

A four-bunk bedroom has elegance not normally found in bulk bedrooms.

Multiple machines dominate the laundry room.

A mad scramble of rocky stone walls delineate areas within the 37-acre property. It’s listed for $3,895,000.
