Whether you're searching for a full-time residence or a weekend sanctuary, this property delivers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. The dramatic great room is the heart of the home, featuring soaring cathedral ceilings, walls of glass that frame the changing seasons, and a stunning stone fireplace with a wood stove insert that creates the perfect gathering place after a day outdoors. The chef's kitchen is thoughtfully designed with a gas cooktop, built-in double ovens, Hi-Mac solid surface countertops, and generous workspace for entertaining.

Convenient first-floor living includes a spacious bedroom, full bath, and laundry/mudroom--ideal after hiking your own trails or tending the property. Upstairs, a loft overlooking the great room makes an inspiring home office, reading retreat, or cozy TV lounge. The private primary suite features an en suite bath and a charming Romeo & Juliet balcony where your morning coffee comes with birdsong and uninterrupted views of nature. The finished lower level expands the living space with room for guests, recreation, or movie nights, complete with a built-in bar ready for serving craft cocktails after a day of exploring the countryside.

A whole-house generator provides peace of mind year-round, while the detached metal garage offers abundant space for vehicles, tractors, outdoor equipment, and hobbies. Perfectly positioned just minutes from the villages of Chatham and Valatie/Kinderhook, you'll enjoy easy access to farm markets, restaurants, shops, and the best of the Hudson Valley while feeling worlds away from it all. Only 3 hours from New York City, 2.5 hrs from Boston, this is country living at its finest--private, peaceful, and surrounded by nature in every direction.
