How rare to find a country residence, accessed via a gated meandering driveway, and surrounded by a vast estate which offers so much yet remains unassuming. Casually elegant, this special property is quite the offering. Both the main house and guest lodge are exquisitely faced with local stone and cedar shakes and open onto very special patios and gardens. The Main house (2700sqft) is graceful and well-designed with gleaming plank flooring and woodwork. The beamed, vaulted living room is bathed by three sides of windows and French doors and flows directly from the sunlit chef's kitchen and banquette dining area. The main floor primary bedroom has a soaring ceiling, dressing room, and bath. Upstairs are two bedrooms, a full bath, and a meditation room. Through the garden, approach the Guest house (4,100 sqft) along planted stone walls. Enter into a vast, beamed great room with a handsome stone fireplace, wood floors, and a new kitchen. With 3 generous bedrooms (one supersized!) and 3 full baths, the space is wonderfully inviting. The 20ac fully-fenced property provides a sanctuary with old-growth trees and meadows. We have a lovely gunite pool and pool house as well as a serene tree-lined swimming pond with a wooden dock. Up the hill, there's two outbuildings offering a multitude of uses for country gear and activities, as well as both lighted tennis and basketball courts. This is a totally private, absolutely comfortable, unpretentious refuge minutes to the Village of Millbrook.
