"A Verdant Haven Amidst Timeless Elegance"
Nestled amidst a sprawling 12 acres of rolling landscape, this extraordinary estate offers a harmonious blend of natural beauty and architectural grandeur. Designed by the renowned artist and architect Henry Varnum Poor, the property exudes a timeless charm that belies its contemporary comforts. The main residence, a masterpiece of Poor's design, features wide plank Walnut/butterwood floors, timber beam ceilings, and curved glass windows that seamlessly connect the interior to the breathtaking outdoor vistas. The original details, including tiles, fireplaces, bathroom vanities, and guest house, are a testament to Poor's artistic vision. Outside, the property offers a serene retreat with open meadows, mature forests, patios, and an enclosed screened patio. A separate "writer's shed" provides a peaceful haven for creative pursuits, while the 19' x 32' art/music studio or second-floor great room offers ample space for inspiration.
The main home features five bedrooms and four full bathrooms, including a curved masonry staircase that adds a touch of elegance. Specimen plantings and exquisite gardens create a vibrant and inviting outdoor space. The 2 story cottage, connected to the main home by a winding path, is ideal for guests or artistic/musical pursuits.
Located just 45 minutes from New York City, this property offers the perfect blend of privacy, luxury, and natural beauty. Whether you seek a cloistered weekend retreat or a permanent residence, this extraordinary estate is sure to captivate your imagination.
