Approaching the compound on a beautiful allee banked by American Linden trees, you will gratefully retreat from the hectic pace of life and enter a timeless and pastoral world. On forty acres set amidst the beauty of the Hudson Valley, Four Barns offers respite, but also play and adventure. The four-bedroom main house, built in 1839, has been restored inside in a contemporary farmhouse style, centered around a large, open country kitchen. The steel appliances and cabinets provide a feeling of clean modernity while the warm wood boards overhead and underfoot are reminders of the home's nearly 200-year history. The dining area with a stone fireplace is a gathering space for family and friends and looks out over the four restored barns. The home's many windows also access impeccable raised-bed gardens, fruit trees, and acres of beautiful meadows and groomed lawn. Four dazzlingly renovated barns give the property an undeniable wow-factor. They have been designed to provide memorable experiences with two additional guest rooms, gathering spaces, and myriad other possibilities. Reclaimed hand-chiseled beams and oak boards for walls and floors create spaces that are rustic and warmly inviting. The original milk house, overlooking the pond, has been transformed into a stunning office space as perfect for hours of solo concentration as it is for critical meetings with clients and partners. Another barn has an open space for a dance floor, a media center, private gym, and the potential for a stunning conference space. When the pair of facing two-story barn doors are both open, this barn seamlessly blends with surrounding nature. Barn #3 'the party barn' has a living area so spacious that it soars. Light fills the massive room through endless windows. A floor-to-ceiling fireplace was built from locally quarried stone. A full kitchen and many inviting gathering spots make this barn ideal for parties, reunions, and holidays. Finally, a cozy guest-house with loft bedroom and wood-burning stove manages to be both airy and snug at the same time. The structures includes 6 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, and 5 fireplaces over 12, 000 square feet. This unparalleled country retreat is as private as can be while being easily accessible to local vineyards, equestrian facilities, Innisfree Gardens, Weathersfield, Tamarack Preserve, and Mashomack Polo Club. Minutes from Metro North and the village of Millbrook. 24-48 hour notice required for accompanied showings.
