Set up a hillside on over 76 acres, this architectural gem looks over a magnificent valley nestled in gentle rolling hills, meadows and woodlands with views to distant mountains. It's a private artist's retreat and gardener's dream and on the market for the first time in over 35 years. The overall design was conceived by the owner/architect Sam Brody, and features a 4,250 SF main home connected to a separate guest suite and balanced by an artist's studio, steps across a landscaped courtyard. The home was custom built by a well-regarded local contractor, overseen in every detail and has been upgraded over the years. From virtually every interior space of the home there is a seamless connection to the lush surrounding gardens and the long-distance pastoral views. A carport at the main entrance provides covered barrier-free entry for both the house and guest suite and is framed by the gardens beyond. Once inside, the brick-floored entry foyer connects to the open plan dining area and kitchen. These rooms have sweeping views to the south and east. A screened-in porch for carefree dining and watching the morning sunrise runs the entire length of the dining room and kitchen with multiple French doors for access. Just off the dining room is the library with walls covered in custom bookshelves and direct access into the landscaped courtyard. Beyond that and hidden away, is the primary en-suite bedroom looking out into the courtyard's lush blooms. The centerpiece of the house is a cathedral-vaulted living room with a unique custom designed two-story brick fireplace surrounded by a wall of windows. Upstairs is a peaceful, second bedroom with full bath. A loft-like room overlooking the living room can be used as an overflow bedroom. The spacious walkout basement is dry with high ceilings, includes substantial storage and a half bath. Large windows and double glass doors exiting to an exterior garden, provides potential for additional living space. To the left of the carport is a beautifully designed guest suite with full bathroom covered in beautiful redwood. At the edge of the home's garden courtyard sits the artist's studio, bathed in natural light with electric, heat and running water. While the gardens are the focus surrounding the home, a naturally placed gunite pool is tucked up a gentle rise and dappled in a mix of sun and shade. There are agricultural exemptions in place for the fields below the house, while the wooded upper portion of the property can potentially be subdivided to create separate homesites, each with its own road access and far enough from each other and the main house to be private as well as offer amazing views to the northeast. A true country setting close to Millbrook, Copake and Hudson.

For the first time in history, Mill Farm — Spanning more than 2,000 contiguous acres in Ancramdale, New York, — is being offered to the market. Almost all of the farm is surrounded by thousands of acres of adjacent protected conservation land, making it the only 2,000-acre working farm in the region, ensuring a level of privacy and ecological integrity that cannot be duplicated. Steeped in history, The Mill House dates back to the Revolutionary War era and the Livingston family, and is the conversion of the famed Grist Mill “Defiance,” a rare surviving landmark of early American industry that established the region’s first foundation of commerce. At its core is the Mill House, an approximately 5,600-square-foot architectural treasure set directly on the Punch Brook Stream, where the water flows through the home itself to power its historic hydro turbine mill system. There is a waterfall set close to the Mill House that is an ever present living feature of the environs, as it is closely visible from nearly every room. Adjacent, the former Mill Keeper’s House has been reimagined as a private movie theatre, blending centuries-old character with modern indulgence. Crest Lane, an approximately 3,500-square-foot masterpiece, stands as a second architectural jewel, featuring a windowed living room with sweeping views across the valley. Beyond these primary residences, the property includes 8 single-family homes, including four newly renovated cottages, each on its own deeded parcel, offering unmatched flexibility for family, guests, or future investment. The two main residences, the Mill House and Crest Lane, are connected by a three-mile internal gravel road system. The land itself is a defining asset. This is arguably the largest working farm within two hours of New York City, with organic-certified hay production, fertile valley floors, and rising elevations to both the east and west that frame extraordinary views. Rare 18th-century barns, including a remarkable Dutch Barn, stand as enduring testaments to America’s agrarian history. An active windmill system still feeds water to various points across the farm, while aquifers and tributaries ensure abundant water availability. Recreational and ecological value are equally profound. The farm contains more than 18 miles of perfected, drivable trails that interconnect every corner of the property, creating a network for horse riding, exploration, and access to resources. Three miles of the untouched Punch Brook, a designated New York State trout stream, run through the property—a pristine waterway under private stewardship. The farm is also home to documented bobcat habitats and study areas in partnership with Panthera.org. Its eastern boundary adjoins a vast conservation bird sanctuary, ensuring uninterrupted natural surroundings and extending the feeling of total seclusion for thousands of acres in every direction. Mill Farm uniquely combines agricultural productivity, historical resonance, and ecological significance. With its unmatched scale, legacy, and proximity to New York City, it represents an opportunity that exists nowhere else in the Northeast — a living landmark, never before available on the open market.
Woodland Ranch Retreat on 4 acres. Move-in ready and thoughtfully updated, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath ranch offers a clean, modern aesthetic in a peaceful woodland setting. Designed for efficient one-level living, the home features bright, open spaces with abundant natural light and seamless flow. Expansive decks on both the front and back invite outdoor living ideal for morning coffee, entertaining, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of nature. A full unfinished basement provides excellent storage or the potential for future finishing. Privately tucked away yet close to everything, the property is just 8 minutes to Millerton, 20 minutes to the Wassaic train station, and 20 minutes to Hillsdale. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence or a weekend escape, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and tranquility.
Set among the beautiful rolling hills on 203 acres is this private estate that takes you back in time. The farm was built in 2008 around a c.1754 Dutch barn that was dismantled from upstate NY and transformed into an incredible great room with 34' soaring ceilings, a brick fireplace and two huge French doors to take in the view. Designed by Cynthia Filkoff with 6,340 square feet, the main house offers five bedrooms and three and one half baths. The home feels centuries old, with the wide board floors and plaster walls throughout, while providing the modern conveniences, like the geothermal heating and cooling system and the automatic generator. Every room is a piece of art and history; comfortable, primitive and functional. Adding to the list of amenities is a two-car garage with loft; three bedroom caretaker's house; and equestrian facilities including a five stall barn, equipment barn, outdoor riding ring and six paddocks. The expansive property has trails throughout and was placed in the Dutchess Land Conservancy for love of the land. A once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase this private country estate. Just minutes to Pine Plains, and two hours to NYC.
The options are endless for this very special 120-acre property on a spectacular country road in beautiful Ancramdale, NY. The property, which has been a family compound for multiple generations, begins with a very long private driveway that leads to the original 1850's farmhouse and guest cottage overlooking a gorgeous 4+ acre pond. As you continue down the driveway, past lovely rolling hills, an old swimming pool & tennis court, a summer cottage and a couple of other outbuildings, the property goes up a hill to two additional residences built in 1970 and 2000, with stunning views of the mountains and exquisite surrounding farmland. This fabulous property is waiting for new owners to make a new family compound. With the exception of the house built in 2000, the others all need to be torn down or completely re-built (all the infrastructure is in place such as driveway, electric, septics, wells), so it is a question of building, but not putting in infrastructure. Conveniently located to all that the Hudson Valley has to offer, less than 10 minutes to Millerton and Pine Plains, less than 30 minutes to Rhinebeck, Hudson and Millbrook and just 2 hours to Manhattan. Bring your imagination, wonderful properties that offer this level of privacy and views extremely rare.
