About this home

You know that you are in an extraordinary place, an place that has been preserved in perfect harmony with nature, as soon as you drive down the long tree-lined driveway and arrive at the 1850 farmhouse. The site of the house was chosen with the greatest of care by the original owners to take advantage of the view of the large shimmering swimming pond, immense trees and stunning vistas. On more than 109 organic acres, the land includes expansive open meadows, woodland and babbling brooks. There are views of the Catskills and the Berkshires from various locations on the property. The main house features oversized windows that cause it to be flooded with natural light. The owners are collectors and have added many unique features to please the eye. The main floor features the living room with fireplace, dining room, kitchen with attached mudroom and pantry, sun parlor and library. A Wolf professional range and a view of the Berkshires are the centerpieces of the thoughtfully designed kitchen. The chestnut wood floors of the dining and living rooms add warmth and character. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including the master suite and 2 full baths.
