Property Description

When one imagines the perfect country house, we think of rolling hills, shimmering ponds & old growth lilacs. We think of wideboard pine floors, a perfectly simple kitchen and stacked stone that has stood for centuries. 516 County Route 11 is the consummate Hudson Valley estate. With 60 acres, you own your view-shed, where 10,000 daffodils are the first to bloom in the springtime and the stream runs year round. Five acres have been fenced around the main residence, a world of your own to idle away the days in the rose garden, to sit beneath the fruit trees. The saltwater pool sits up, just out of view in the winter months when the landscape shifts, the gunite was done by hand. A rare thing, but a testament to the quality that runs deep on this property. Everything from the picturesque chicken coop to the antique barns has been thoughtfully crafted or carefully restored and done to the highest possible standard. The c1830 main house has a copper roof— stunning and uncommon. The home lives easy, almost every room on the first floor has a door leading out, gorgeous in terms of light and lifestyle. It has been fully renovated with taste and appreciation for the original quality of fixtures, floors and hardware. There are two fireplaces on the main floor— in the living room and the dining room. Upstairs are two wings, one is the primary with a master bath & a second bedroom that the current owners have converted to a walk-in closet. The other wing houses two guest bedrooms and a bath. A geothermal system sustainably heats & cools the residence, and the detached gym has a cedar shake roof. In the stone courtyard you'll find a dining pergola draped in wisteria and an outdoor shower. Those unfamiliar with County Route 11 will be delighted by its pastoral landscape, its gentle turns and its gentlemen farms, a bucolic location just 10m to Stissing House and under 20m to Hudson/Amtrak.
