Property Description
Hilltop Retreat, built in the Millenium Mansion style, provides an incomparable experience of country living. This gracious residence is approached via a meandering driveway past stone walls and a pond and is secluded within 66 acres of curated lawns w/ majestic trees, a shimmering pond, old growth forest, and year-round Catskill mountain views. Casually formal, w/over 7,000sqft of living space spanning 3 levels, this home affords plenty of space for an abundance of shared enjoyment as well as personal serenity. Throughout, the gleaming wood floors, tall windows, and high ceilings capture beautiful light. The bluestone entry off the circular drive leads into a foyer w/a sweeping 3-story staircase where you're drawn into the vast double height living room centered around a stone fireplace and French doors opening into the full span of western views and expansive poolside living. Flanking the foyer are the library and formal dining room, each w/ large window seats, fireplaces, and inlaid wood floors. The u-shape eat-in kitchen is anchored by a large central island and opens into a solarium, perfect for growing culinary herbs and flowers. On the far side of this floor is a most special room w/ 3 sides of glass and doors which open into an arched portico. Up the beautiful, curved staircase onto an expansive landing overlooking the living room and out to the mountains. The primary bedroom suite is quite dramatic w/ a sitting area, two-sided marble fireplace and balcony. The dressing room has 2 built-in closets and the bathing area pampers. Three additional ensuite bedrooms w/ dressing rooms complete this floor. The lower level is about fun. Enter into the recreation room – ping pong/pool table, games, darts, a wet bar, and a major gym w/ a full bath. Here also are two additional quite ample rooms (bed, study, den?) and a bath. The picturesque landscape is seen and is accessible from almost every room. Walk down the sweeping lawn, past the wishing well, and into the fenced irrigated garden w/ fruit trees, blueberry bushes, strawberry beds, and room for more. The children's playground is sweet and adjacent to the lighted basketball court. Further on is the aerated pond w/a seating dock w/electric – fish, canoe, sleep. And, the pool: Heated, 800sqft surrounded by a sprawling patio w/a beautiful pergola, massive peony gardens, a firepit and steps leading to the 875sqft upper story deck. This retreat, majestically sited on this property, is a refuge and park in all seasons. Located in the Town of Poughkeepsie, only 81 miles from Midtown, 5 miles to MetroNorth RR & 2.5 miles to Adams Fairacre Farms for all your provisions. This country estate offers the gift of both visual and sonic seclusion without the need to travel too far.
