335 Dawson Rd Hillsdale, NY 12529

Presiding over 27 acres of rolling hills, meadows, and dramatic mountain views, Southview Farm is a fully reimagined country estate in the heart of Hillsdale farm country. Once part of a 300-acre dairy farm with a grand farmhouse on this site for over a century, the property has been expanded and rebuilt from the ground up to deliver modern luxury, efficiency, and comfort while honoring its historic character. Facing due south, the residence overlooks a one-acre, 14-foot-deep spring-fed pond with sweeping vistas to Catamount Ski Area, the Taconic Ridge, and the distant Berkshires. The landscape is so cinematic that scenes from Ang Lee's "Taking Woodstock" were filmed here, and the headwaters of the Roeliff Jansen Kill form the eastern boundary, tying the land directly to the scenic Hudson Valley and Columbia County countryside. The main house offers over 5,000 square feet of living space with four bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths. The ground floor centers on the original stair hall and an expansive chef's kitchen with an 18-foot L-shaped island, soapstone countertops, double sinks, Wolf 48" dual-fuel range with convection microwave, and 42" Sub-Zero refrigerator. A relocated wood-burning fireplace, rebuilt with original farmhouse brick, anchors this warm gathering space. Off the kitchen, a bright butler's pantry/mudroom opens toward a sunroom wrapped in oversized windows and warmed by a wood stove, ideal for four-season enjoyment of the views. Opposite the kitchen, the generous living room features the second wood-burning fireplace and picture-perfect views of both the mountains and the wildflower meadow and pool area. A main-level bedroom suite offers a private wing with a refined en-suite bath and custom walk-in closet. Upstairs, the second floor includes additional bedrooms, a den, office, and laundry room. The third floor is a dramatic open space with cathedral ceilings, currently used as a gym and sitting area, easily adaptable to create two more bedrooms with en-suite baths if desired. Throughout the home, hardwood floors with radiant heat, central air conditioning, and expansive windows create a light-filled, comfortable environment. All systems are new, including 400-amp electrical service with standby Generac generator, new plumbing and well with whole-house filtration and softener, and a whole-house ERV fresh air and dehumidification system. Restored full-length front and rear porches provide covered outdoor living and frame the panoramic views. Across the parking court, a finely crafted Hennin Post & Beam barn from Woolwich, Maine, offers approximately 1,800 square feet of additional space. The two-story, 38' x 36' structure features eastern white pine framing and interior walls milled from trees on the property. The upper level serves as a guest suite with kitchenette, laundry, and full bath; the lower level is a heated woodshop that could be converted to a four-car garage. The barn is insulated with structural insulated panels, fitted with Marvin windows, and equipped with in-floor radiant heat on the first floor and hot water radiators, air conditioning, and ceiling fans upstairs. A separate pole barn provides storage for equipment, tools, and firewood. Outdoor living centers on the 40' x 18' heated gunite pool with Pebble Tec finish, automatic cover, auto-fill, and bluestone surround, set against a backdrop of native wildflower fields that shift in color from spring through fall. Impeccably maintained and thoughtfully upgraded, Southview Farm offers turnkey country living where the Hudson Valley meets the Berkshires, with the conveniences of Hillsdale village nearby and easy access to Hudson, Great Barrington, skiing, and hiking.
