Surrounded by 13 gorgeous acres of rolling hillside and forest, the setting feels both cinematic and deeply peaceful. Just beyond, the road is famously home to the Chatham Sheepherding Company's iconic complex of vernacular barns and agricultural buildings, lending the area a distinctly historic and pastoral character that is increasingly difficult to find. This is a home with true soul--restored and refined with remarkable sensitivity. The interiors were led by a House & Garden UK 100 designer, and that level of design fluency is immediately apparent. Every decision feels intentional, creating spaces that are quietly luxurious, deeply livable, and impossible to replicate. Throughout the home, original character is honored and elevated through exceptional materials and thoughtful detailing. Wide-board antique pine floors run throughout, grounding each room with warmth and patina. Even the smallest elements were considered: Forbes & Lomax brass switches punctuate the walls like jewelry--subtle yet unmistakably luxurious. Lighting by Workstead brings sculptural warmth to the interiors, while Lefroy Brooks bathroom fittings introduce a quietly classic sensibility rooted in craftsmanship and timeless design. The living spaces unfold with intimacy and grace. A richly layered library wrapped in custom shelving invites slow mornings and long evenings. A stunning music room, anchored by a grand piano and bathed in soft natural light, feels both elegant and welcoming. The kitchen and dining spaces are especially compelling--bright, beautifully composed, and effortlessly functional, with bespoke cabinetry, marble surfaces, and seamless connection to the outdoors for summer dinners and quiet morning coffee. The home offers three bedrooms plus a flex space, allowing for a variety of uses--guest quarters, office, studio, or media room. Each space has been designed with extraordinary sensitivity to proportion, light, and texture, resulting in interiors that feel collected over time yet perfectly resolved. What makes this property so exceptional is not simply its beauty, but its atmosphere. It possesses that elusive quality of the very best country houses: sophistication without formality, design without excess, and luxury rooted in authenticity. A truly rare offering--an extraordinary design-forward retreat on one of the county's most storied roads, immersed in the timeless beauty of the Hudson Valley.
