Bright interiors, welcoming living spaces, and large windows with beautiful views make this property ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.
The expansive decks, cedar hot tub, and a hammock nestled in the trees bring the beauty of the surrounding countryside into everyday living.
Set back from the road and situated in total privacy on 12 acres surrounded by neighboring hay fields and farms, you will be enchanted by plentiful wildlife and melodious birdsong. The property includes a swimmable pond, an outdoor firepit, and an (indoor) Jotul wood-burning stove.
With 2 queen bedrooms and a twin bedroom, and a large office/studio/den with a 3rd queen bed, the house sleeps up to 8 people.
Located in Dutchess County, between Millbrook and Dover Plains, the house is 10 minutes from the MetroNorth Harlem line and 1.5 hours from upper Manhattan; also 35 minutes to Rhinebeck or Poughkeepsie and an hour to Hudson or the Berkshires.
In preparation for a May 1st move-in date, the house is currently being renovated with new floors, a new kitchen, and fresh paint throughout.
Well-behaved pets are welcome.
Currently set up as an vacation rental, with elegant, minimalist furnishings, we are open to summer renters or longer-term renters who may want our furniture removed -- we are negotiable -- please reach out with any questions.
We're a family of four from Brooklyn who have treasured this country home for 13 years. As we have been spending less time there in recent years, we have enjoyed sharing it with vacation rental guests, and we are now looking for longer term renters who will enjoy this magical place and appreciate the serene surroundings and peaceful nature it offers, so close to the city and yet so removed.
We are open to either summer renters or long-term renters looking for a year-long lease. Utilities, lawncare etc. to be negotiated based upon length of lease. May 1st is the earliest move-in date available, due to current, ongoing home improvements.
We're happy to host dogs and cats and potentially other pets upon request. There is plenty of room for dogs to roam but there is no fenced yard area.
