Enjoy far reaching views from this roomy stone house overlooking a lush valley in beautiful Columbia County! Set atop a hill at the end of a private drive on a quiet country road, the house looks over 77 acres of open fields, woods with maples to tap, a stream for fishing and swimming, and a perfect spot for a pond. The sturdily built six-bedroom, five bath home offers lots of living space. The first floor has a living room with stone fireplace, a large and well-equipped kitchen opening to a dining area, a sunroom with a heated floor, a bedroom, two baths and a wood-paneled study as well as a laundry and a mud room. Upstairs are five generously sized bedrooms, two baths and a sewing room. And the basement is finished with cozy rooms, an additional bath, and plenty of storage. There are outbuildings with parking for cars and farm equipment, plus a large barn. At the rear of the heated three-car garage is a wonderful space than can serve as an artist’s studio, writer’s retreat, or media room. Two large pastures are equipped with water and electricity. The property is conveniently located within an easy drive to the Taconic Parkway, and is near the Hawthorne Valley School and the towns of Chatham and Hillsdale.
