Property Description
Perched atop its own private hill on 15.59 acres in the rolling countryside of Austerlitz, this extraordinary post-and-beam home offers something increasingly rare in today's world: complete and total privacy paired with breathtaking long-range views that seem to stretch forever. Hidden from the road and reached by a long winding driveway, the property unfolds like a private retreat, surrounded by nature, open skies, and the peaceful sounds of the countryside. From sunrise to sunset, the ever-changing landscape becomes a living work of art. Watch morning fog drift through the valleys below, enjoy spectacular mountain views throughout the day, and end each evening beneath a canopy of stars so bright you'll feel miles away from everything—yet you're still conveniently located within easy reach of the Hudson Valley's most desirable destinations. The home itself is a classic post-and-beam design that blends warmth, character, and timeless craftsmanship. Inside, the open floor plan creates a welcoming flow for both everyday living and entertaining. At the heart of the home stands an awe-inspiring floor-to-ceiling fieldstone wood-burning fireplace, anchoring the main living space with rustic elegance and serving as a natural gathering place during every season. The soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and beautiful pine floors create an atmosphere that is both grand and inviting. The spacious kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly together, all designed to capture the surrounding views and natural light. Central air conditioning ensures comfort throughout the warmer months, while the fireplace provides cozy ambiance when the temperatures drop. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat complete with an en-suite bath and tranquil views of the surrounding landscape. Two additional bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings and share a full bath, creating comfortable accommodations for you and your guests. An additional half bath adds convenience for entertaining. Step outside onto the expansive rear deck and discover one of the property's most remarkable features. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee as the mountains emerge from the mist, hosting summer gatherings, or simply gazing at the stars on a clear evening, this outdoor space was designed to celebrate the incredible setting. Nature lovers will appreciate the spring-fed swimming pond, perfect for cooling off on warm summer afternoons, while anglers can spend a relaxing Sunday casting a line in the peaceful waters. The property invites a lifestyle connected to the outdoors, where privacy and serenity are part of everyday life. Additional features include durable board-and-batten siding, a metal roof, portable generator hookup, and a large dry basement providing abundant storage space. Properties offering this level of privacy, natural beauty, and unforgettable views are exceptionally difficult to find. This is more than a home—it's a hilltop sanctuary where the mountains, sky, and surrounding landscape become part of your daily life. A place to escape, recharge, and experience the Hudson Valley as it was meant to be enjoyed.
