About This Home
As of December 2024The Envelope House at Fern Hill is an early case study in passive building, sited on just over five wooded acres overlooking the iconic Hawthorne Valley Farm, about halfway between the Hudson River and the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains. The home is sprawling in nature and contains a multitude of environments for living, creating, utility and play. Each carefully weighed design decision was made in the pursuit of living in harmony with the natural surroundings and elements, which can be felt throughout the property. The gathering spaces are generous in both size and warmth, all southern facing to achieve the most magnificent capture of natural light throughout the day. Should you need additional or separate space, a two story garage with a loft offers many different possibilities. Days on end can be spent in activity without ever leaving Fern Hill. Summer peacefully unfolds just down the private trail on a sparkling spring fed lake, shared only with two other homes, or on the communal Fern Hill pond. Enjoy the surrounding common lands by hiking the trails or cross country skiing in the winter months. And perhaps the most luxurious feature of all is the ability to observe nature at play all around you. When you find yourself in need of anything from the outside world, the Hawthorne Valley Farm Store is only three minutes away, as is the Waldorf School. Should you need to venture out further, the Taconic State Parkway is less than five minutes away, and two hours to New York City.
