Set behind a sweeping driveway canopied by pear trees in bloom, this extraordinary post-and-beam contemporary is a study in what privacy truly looks like — 18.5 acres of curated landscape, forest trails, and open sky, ten minutes from the Taconic State Parkway. The architecture announces itself immediately: soaring 25-foot cathedral ceilings, a commanding central stone fireplace, and grand mahogany double doors that open to a sun-drenched interior framed by new Marvin windows and French doors. At 4,300 square feet, the home flows with the ease of thoughtful design — open living and dining spaces, a private office, loft, family room, and three bedrooms. Outside, the grounds unfold like a private resort. A saltwater pool sits within a custom stone patio and a cascading waterfall. Beyond the pool you'll find the picturesque one-acre pond with gazebo at its edge. Winding trails flow through the remaining acreage — for hiking, four-wheeling, or simply disappearing for a while. Eighteen and a half acres of Hudson Valley at its finest.
