Towards the end of Sky Top Road and tucked away at the end of a long driveway sits The Nine-Square House. A modernist masterpiece, the home is perched amidst dramatic natural topography with magnificent views of the Taconic Hills. The Nine-Square House was born of a several-year-long collaboration between a multi-disciplinary artist/designer and an esteemed architect. The result is an immensely livable and sustainable 3,900 sq-ft home that carefully balances the relationship between its well thought out interiors and the surrounding wooded landscapes and impressive open views of multiple mountain ranges. All features of the home were created to be both functional and pleasing to the eye, addressing every conceivable ergonomic and environmental question. The nine-square philosophy of living is very much felt in the distribution of spaces - on the main floor, the double living room, dining area, and kitchen all flow into each other and are anchored by a marble fireplace and three large glass doors opening to the exterior terrace with a breathtaking view. The kitchen features Danish-designed Reform cabinetry, Bardiglio marble, and Fisher Paykel appliances. An office, a washroom, a dry bar, and a generously proportioned laundry room complete the main level.The central architectural piece of the home is the solid white oak staircase leading up to the second floor. The 4 bedrooms upstairs, though spacious, are much more private and intimate, each with large windows on 2 sides, communing with the serene and quiet landscape outside. The 2 sizable bathrooms have dedicated shower rooms and freestanding soaking tubs with panoramic views. The expansive landing of this level has a reading room at one end and a sitting area at the other.Distinguishing features of the Nine-Square House include high energy efficiency due to insulation exceeding all current standards, multi-zone central AC, radiant heated floors, solid 200 lb interior doors, satin nickel Kohler fixtures, cast iron sinks, and solid forged and machined brass and satin nickel door hardware. An expansive floor plan and extensive technical solutions are met with human-scale rooms, creating an abundantly peaceful and welcoming environment. The land around the house is perfect as it is. There are wooded and open areas, with meandering walking paths trailing through the property, planted with native plants.

Sunrise Sunset is a stunning 17-acre property in Columbia County with unparalleled mountain views. The home is an architect designed and built B & B with a private living space. It still has all the necessary licensure and zoning to operate as a B & B, though the buyer can simply use it as a spacious home just hours from New York City and minutes from all the glories of the Hudson Valley. The three guest rooms, which could be used as family bedrooms, offices, or studios, occupy the second floor of a three-bay garage. Each is private, en suite, with a balcony. The architect ensured utmost privacy between guest balconies by angling the dividers between them. They all command sunset views of the Catskills, and sunrise views of the Taconic Mountains which are a part of the historic Berkshire region. Hikers in the Taconics can access CT and MA by walking across state lines from New York. Accessible from the guest rooms or the driveway, a spacious light-infused gallery occupies the center part of the home. It is perfect as a gathering place or for receiving guests to a B & B or a holiday party an elegant showpiece. To the right of the gallery is the residence. Some of the most significant features of the home are the soaring windows with breathtaking views, skylights opening rooms to the heavens, antique doors as well as hand-crafted wooden doors, leaded windows, an indoor 30-foot regulation-size lap pool, and flowing interior spaces that are as inviting as they are stylish. Probably the most dazzling touches are the stonework throughout, made entirely of stone found or quarried on the property. Much of it is limestone from the property's own limestone quarry. The only parts of these stone highlights that are not from the property are the numerous accent pieces of vivid blue iron ore. The stone masterpieces, some small and some very large, are featured surrounding the fireplaces, in bathrooms, and in other areas, bringing local history and natural resources together.The fully equipped kitchen, great room, and dining room flow graciously to create a friendly and comfortable family space. The primary suite is upstairs, and both bedroom and bath open through glass doors to a balcony with full views. The beautifully crafted sinks are custom-made from cherry wood from the property. The new owners will want to add finishing touches to certain areas. Easy access to private walking trails, Hudson, Great Barrington, and Catamount Ski Mt.
