101 Holmes Rd, Newburgh, NY 12550

Down a private, tree-lined road, nestled between Newburgh and Marlboro, awaits a rare retreat: a fully restored 1820s farmhouse on 7 secluded acres of rolling orchard land, where time slows and nature surrounds. Once a working apple orchard, the land now cradles a serene pond, wild meadows, and a brand-new saltwater pool perched high for sunset views. Designed as a soulful sanctuary, this 4 bedroom, 4-bath home has been lovingly reimagined with a reverence for natural materials and artisanal detail. A quiet rhythm runs through every space — soft curves, hand-finished radius edges, and warm, tactile finishes invite you to exhale. The first floor blends historic charm with modern artistry: original exposed beams stretch across the ceilings, while the heart of the home — a limestone-clad kitchen — is outfitted with hand-troweled Venetian plaster cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and chef-grade Bertazzoni appliances. The kitchen opens gracefully into a large dining area for long, lingering meals with friends. The living room is wrapped in soft plastered walls, centered around a limestone fireplace. A powder room sits tucked to the side. A guest suite on the main floor offers pond views and a spa-like bath with Moroccan Tadelakt and rare 18th-century limestone floors reclaimed from France. Upstairs, the ceilings soar (approx. 20 feet), and the magic continues: a dreamy children’s room with its own play nook, two versatile bedrooms or creative studios with custom pine closets, and a beautifully finished bathroom that echoes the romantic materials found throughout. The primary suite feels like a storybook escape, with large windows overlooking the pond and orchard. The en-suite bath includes a bespoke vanity, hand-finished plaster, and the same antique limestone that whispers of another era. The home has been fully modernized with a new metal roof, all-new windows, a restored cedar facade and new heating and cooling systems — so all you have to do is arrive and unwind. Outside, stone paths lead you to the 40-foot saltwater pool, elevated for sweeping views. Meander further down through the meadow to a seating area by the pond and a whimsical treehouse for little ones. A separate path takes you to a secluded fire pit — the perfect spot to gather at dusk, with firelight reflecting off the water and stars overhead. Only 90 minutes from the city, this is the kind of place you’ll never want to leave — and the kind of home that stays with you, long after you do.
