Property Description

It's MAGIC at the TOPThis extraordinary private and peaceful retreat rises into its living landscape with forever views across the Taconic Range to the Catskills-some of the most magical in the Hudson Valley. Set on 19 serene acres at the base of Mount Washington, the morning light rises over the Taconic Range, and by evening, the sun slips behind the Catskills, transforming the sky into a constantly changing display of gold, rose and crimson. And then there is the house.Architecturally refined, this deeply comfortable 5,540-square-foot residence was redesigned and renovated beginning in 2020. Modern living meets mountain majesty, with soaring spaces, dramatic natural light and endless walls of glass that bring the landscape into every room.The living room is a breathtaking space, with soaring ceilings and a wall of windows framing the Catskills panorama, anchored by a carved limestone fireplace. The effect is dramatic, yet the house remains warm, comfortable and wonderfully livable. Designed for both serious cooking and effortless entertaining, the kitchen also impressive with custom Italian cabinetry, quartzite countertops, a 10-foot island, Sub-Zero refrigeration and a Wolf six-burner range with griddle and dual ovens. The sumptuous primary en-suite with fireplace, sitting area and those mesmerizing views is its own private retreat, while three additional bedrooms, two and a half additional stunning baths and two offices-including one perched high above the house-offer remarkable flexibility for guests, you and yours, working from home or simply spreading out. This home is designed for entertaining, yet is equally wonderful for easy living and relaxation.Outside, the experience continues. A 50-foot lap pool sits directly in the landscape, overlooking the mountains and those extraordinary vistas. A poolside hot tub, gardens and generous outdoor spaces create a setting made for long summer days, sunset swims and dinners that stretch into the evening. A vegetable garden adds another layer to the experience of country living, while the surrounding landscape brings an ever-changing cast of visitors-from blue herons and bald eagles to hawks, hummingbirds and cardinals.Thoughtful details throughout make the house as functional as it is beautiful: a three-car radiant-heated garage, large gym, elevator, two laundry rooms, whole-house generator, new roof and comprehensive mechanical systems including five-zone radiant heat and central air conditioning.
