Property Description
Hidden along a quiet country road and on over 6 private acres surrounded by beautifully maintained forest and winding trails, the property offers a lifestyle where comfort, efficiency, and nature coexist in harmony. Spanning 3,396 square feet, the residence has been thoughtfully designed, meticulously maintained, and was constructed using Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) from the foundation to the roof--an advanced building method seldom found in residential construction. Renowned for superior strength, remarkable energy efficiency, exceptional sound insulation, and lasting durability. Modern comforts include central air conditioning, central vacuum, and high-efficiency mechanical systems, complementing the home's advanced construction and remarkable efficiency. On the main level, an open-concept floor plan is filled with natural light and framed by peaceful woodland views. Rich bamboo flooring throughout creates a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. The chef's kitchen features a commercial-grade range, solid wood cabinetry with pull-out storage, and generous workspace. Two spacious primary suites with private baths finish this level, offering exceptional flexibility for owners and guests alike. The ground level includes radiant heated tile floors, impressive 9-foot ceilings, a spacious family room, a third bedroom suite with a full bath, a fourth bedroom/office, a convenient half bath, and a well-appointed utility and mudroom. Outside, a welcoming front porch overlooks the peaceful landscape, while maintained woodland trails invite morning walks or afternoon adventures. The setting is exceptionally private, while remaining close to the charming villages of Germantown, Hudson, Rhinebeck, Red Hook, and Tivoli, offering the very best of Hudson Valley living.
