159 Sawmill Road - 82 acres of rolling meadows, charming stone walls, and woodlands that feel like a private nature preserve. Trails wind through fields of wildflowers, past blue herons standing watch at your private lake, and watch the occasional bald eagle soaring overhead. Throughout the property, meandering trails invite you to wander, pause by the lake to reflect, or find a quiet bench to curl up with a good book. It's a place where time slows and nature takes center stage. Inside, the home is open and inviting, with soaring ceilings and a dramatic stone fireplace that serves as the centerpiece of the great room. Sunlight pours through oversized windows, filling every room with natural light — and each room opens to the expansive deck, where you can take in sweeping views of meadows and ponds. Two bedrooms on the main floor offer comfort and flexibility, perfect for guests or single-level living. Take the stairs or private elevator to the spacious primary suite — a private retreat with serene views over your 82-acre sanctuary. Just off the kitchen, a covered porch leads to the heated pool — an ideal spot for entertaining friends and family. Host summer barbecues, gather for cocktails at sunset, or spend peaceful afternoons lounging by the water with nothing but the sound of birdsong and the breeze through the trees. This outdoor space is designed for connection, celebration, and quiet moments alike. Perfectly situated in the heart of the Hudson Valley, the property is just 10 minutes to Rhinebeck and Red Hook, close to Bard College, The Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, and convenient to Metro-North for an easy trip to New York City. Several breathtaking building sites capture panoramic Catskill Mountain views, and with substantial road frontage, the land is easily accessible and offers exciting potential for a family compound, guest cottages, equestrian facilities, or simply preserving this remarkable open space. This is not just a home — it's an experience, a way of life. The ultimate expression of quiet luxury.
