It is from the gated entrance that the vista of the graceful, majestic vast expanse of acreage overlooking the meadowlands, extensive waterway and a second smaller pond takes your breath away every time one arrives. The driveway winds leisurely through this pastoral bounty of Hudson Valley acreage to the main house, a pool house and guesthouse and separate garage- here there is also a temperature controlled work space or storage area. On your visit you may be enchanted by the discovery of the chickens housed at the far end of the garage complex. These special chicks have their own heated quarters and produce lovely organic fresh eggs! How does one describe this over 5000 sq foot home?

Two bedrooms and a bath are quietly sited behind a closed door from this area.

Discover the primary bedroom on this ground level with its own fireplace in the sitting area and a luxurious bath finished in quarry tiles. A side doorway from the kingsize bed sleeping section of the room opens to its own covered sitting area facing the pond and mountains. The home offers still more- there is a large room that had been used as a media room off the living room and above this area another office and the owner's music and exercise room.
