Overview
Bordering Amenia and Millbrook, NY this stunning property spans 134 acres, offering absolute privacy with some of the best views in the Hudson Valley. The centerpiece is the 7, 500 square foot main residence completed in 2019, designed by Resolution: 4 offering a seamless blend of modern architecture and the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. There is a spectacular regulation size polo field with views as far as the eye can see. Divided into two wings by the main entry foyer with a glass pivot door, the first being the service wing: chef’s kitchen, pantry, mudroom, and powder room. The entertaining wing features the great room with a black steel surround fireplace, and 70’ of floor to ceiling glass on the south side. There is a media room with its own fireplace and a clever office space hidden behind a sliding door; a warm space for cozy evenings. A gym is opposite the media room. The main stairs, and an elevator, lead to the second-floor opening to an outdoor entertaining space with a full bar, dining area, and lounge with a wood burning fireplace overlooking the valley. The luxurious and private primary bedroom suite features a wood-burning fireplace with south and east views. There are separate bathrooms; the first offers a freestanding tub set against a full expanse of glass, allowing for uninterrupted views along with an outdoor shower. The second has a stone-clad shower with spa inspired features. The suite is completed by a meditation room with a gas fireplace and two dressing rooms. Three en-suite guest rooms are situated at the opposite end of the hall. The pool house is a retreat unto itself with a kitchen, lounge, and half bath. An outdoor dining area extends into the landscape, creating the perfect spot for dining al fresco. The infinity pool blends into the valley views with space for lounging, an outdoor shower and spa. Connected to the pool house is a three-car garage and courtyard plus a dramatic, tree lined, Belgian block and mossy parking area. The landscape design, by award winning Wagner Hodgson, pays homage to the architectural features. Stone walls and weathered steel elements integrate the terraces and plantings into the landscape. Barns with 48 stalls and multiple paddocks, while currently a polo facility, could make a superb show jumping stable. Gardens, meadows restored with native species, and a croquet court complete this remarkable property. There are two staff houses: one w/ three BR and one w/ two.
