Lovingly tended to by its present owners, the C.1810 structure was renovated, expanded and converted over the decades into an enchanting full-time residence. There are vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, French doors, floor-to-ceiling windows, two fireplaces, a main level master suite and an updated kitchen that blends seamlessly into the home’s spectacular gardens, known as “Peter’s Opus” for their symphonic beauty and majesty. The home offers easy comfort and a capacity for entertaining weekend guests, but with the character in tact of the building’s quieter years as a barn, with many vintage details adding to the serene, bucolic atmosphere. The gardens have been recognized and toured by the American Conifer Society and others for their incredible specimens and feature over 100 unique conifers that are perfectly situated throughout the striking, fenced-in, 3.23-acre level property. Described as “astonishingly majestic and refreshingly unique,” the gardens embrace the home in an arboreal-like tableau at the top of this designated scenic road. With its unparalleled setting and distant views, and surrounded by one of the most beautiful equestrian properties in the wider area, this extraordinary Sherman property is a must see for anyone seeking a country retreat of rare beauty. Less than 90-minutes to Manhattan and only 15 minutes to Metro-North trains!
