A rare offering within the private Sedgewood Club, this architecturally significant residence feels more like a retreat than a traditional home. Tucked among mature trees and thoughtfully designed to embrace its natural surroundings, the property blends timeless craftsmanship with soaring spaces, dramatic light, and a sense of warmth that is increasingly difficult to find. Vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams, walls of divided-light windows, skylights, and a monumental stone fireplace create unforgettable living spaces that feel both grand and inviting. Rich wood paneling, custom built-ins, wide-plank floors, and handcrafted details throughout evoke the character of a refined mountain lodge while remaining comfortable and livable year-round. The heart of the home is a spectacular great room with soaring ceilings and a lofted gallery overlooking the living space below. Multiple French doors blur the line between indoors and out, inviting nature into nearly every room. The kitchen offers timeless charm with custom wood cabinetry, artisan tile accents, terracotta floors, and easy access to the dining room, where dramatic ceiling heights and natural light create a memorable setting for entertaining. Private bedroom retreats feature vaulted ceilings, skylights, and tranquil woodland views, while flexible loft spaces provide ideal accommodations for a home office, library, studio, or guest quarters. Spa-inspired amenities include a custom sauna, soaking tub, and distinctive stone and tile baths that complement the home's organic design aesthetic. Life at Sedgewood extends far beyond the property itself. Included with the sale is a transferable Sedgewood Club Association membership, a valuable asset with an approximate $50,000 value, conveying eligibility for club membership and access to the Club's exceptional amenities, subject to annual dues. Residents enjoy one of the Lower Hudson Valley's most distinctive private communities, offering golf, tennis, swimming, clubhouse dining, social events, and access to two pristine lakes surrounded by hundreds of acres of protected natural beauty. Just 55 miles from New York City, Sedgewood offers a rare combination of privacy, recreation, and community in one of the Lower Hudson Valley's most sought-after private enclaves. This is more than a home, it is an opportunity to embrace a lifestyle defined by nature, architecture, recreation, and lasting connections in a setting that feels worlds away from the city while remaining remarkably accessible.
