A picture-perfect residence in the Hudson Valley with majestic views of rolling hills and the Catskills Mountains has hit the market, much to the benefit of affluent house hunters looking for a refined country escape. Listed for $13.5 million, the estate is an ode to classic sophistication with architecture by Gil Schafer, interiors by Antony Todd, and landscape architecture by Warren Byrd.
Located down a long driveway past forests and pastures, 1190 Chestnut Ridge Road sits on a generous 21.43 acres. Though it has no equestrian facilities, it’s primed for such sporty endeavors and could be ideal for those who want a place to get out in nature without prying eyes. Similar to how Yolanda Hadid has used her stylish Pennsylvania farm.
Stepping inside the 2006-built, Greek Revival-style home, a polished foyer creates a memorable first impression for guests. Just beyond, a gracious living room unfolds with abundant natural light, walls of French doors, and two wood-burning fireplaces anchored on either side. One of the main level’s most captivating spots is the glossy blue bar, offering an intimate, swanky setting for hosting. Its rich, moody ambiance contrasts the delicate lightness that permeates most of the interiors.
The upper level houses five bedrooms, each calm, tailored, and traditionally luxe with pops of floral patterns. There’s also a separate guest quarter with two en-suite bedrooms, a finished basement complete with a pool table, and a large pool overlooking the estate’s sprawling scenery.
Tucked away off the beaten path, this sumptuous oasis seems destined to be a legacy family getaway. It’s ready to shine in any decade or era, and even has masterful gardens that bring to mind scenes from a period drama. Oliver Brown of Houlihan Lawrence holds the Dover Plains listing.
