While Hamptons properties are typically known for their coastal flair, the affluent New York area also has woodsy and agricultural sites that help inform home style. This home in a wooded location still sits close to beaches, but opts for cozy yet polished cabin-cottage style. Asking $5,995,000, the Arts & Crafts house is also a treasure because of the elements from local artisans throughout.
Arriving at Pine Eden, a rustic shingle-style exterior dressed in rich tones welcomes you before you dive into the interiors with wood finishes and soaring ceilings. Across a total of 7,200 square feet, there is no shortage of delightful corners to discover. A gourmet chef’s kitchen is accented by checkered floors and soft green custom cabinetry done by multiple artists, including Erling Hope of Sag Harbor and the workshop of Ralph Kylloe in Lake George. Adjacent to the kitchen is the dining room, which is outfitted in hand painted wallpaper by Kevin Paulsen of Kingston, NY. Wispy lines mirror one of the many custom iron chandeliers done by Jeanette Brandt and Mike Parwana Brandt of the Chicken Coop Forge in Lake Luzerne. Truly, few homes boast so many works from the hands of New York artisans.
A total of six bedrooms make up the private spaces, each of which are finished with their own ensuite. The primary suite truly takes the cake however, as cathedral-style ceilings, a Connecticut fieldstone hearth, and dual bathrooms and dressing areas make it a perfect hideaway.
The five-acre grounds also call for relaxation and an appreciation of beauty with a spacious patio, a fire pit for cool evenings, and ample room for al fresco dining. The vast greenery and trees add a layer of privacy, too.
With winter and the holidays coming at full speed, this place makes a convincing argument for spending cold months in the Hamptons. Jack Pearson of Compass holds the highly-artisanal listing.
