This offering consists of three homes, one, The Gatehouse, is actually on a separate lot. Upon arrival the access is through a security gate. It is from the gated entrance that the vista of the graceful, majestic vast expanse of acreage overlooking the meadowlands, extensive waterway and a second smaller pond takes your breath away every time one arrives. The driveway winds leisurely through this pastoral bounty of Hudson Valley acreage to the main house, a pool house and guesthouse and separate garage- here there is also a temperature controlled work space or storage area. On your visit you may be enchanted by the discovery of the chickens housed at the far end of the garage complex. These special chicks have their own heated quarters and produce lovely organic fresh eggs! How does one describe this over 5000 sq foot home? Upon entering there are a steps that lead to the spacious entry- looking slightly right across the living room the eye is drawn out to the pastoral views of the land and Overlook Mountain across this expansive sunlit estate. Within the living room find a fireplace and sliding doors that lead into a three season heated sunroom- a consideration might be to open this entirely and take advantage of the space and views maximizing full year round living. Bearing left one is welcomed into the more intimate dining, family and ultimately kitchen area. Here are another set of sliding doors to a generous screen porch overlooking the solar heated swimming pool and waterway. Two bedrooms and a bath are quietly sited behind a closed door from this area. One also has the opportunity to take the open staircase up to another bedroom or, as used by these owners, private office and full bath. Then, go down the stairs to the large playroom and two more bedrooms and baths. Beyond the playroom is a room now storing family sporting items and pool items. In warm weather this room flows out to the solar heated pool which sits above the lake and is surrounded by an extensive bluestone patio. But wait! Discover the primary bedroom on this ground level with its own fireplace in the sitting area and a luxurious bath finished in quarry tiles. A side doorway from the kingsize bed sleeping section of the room opens to its own covered sitting area facing the pond and mountains. The home offers still more- there is a large room that had been used as a media room off the living room and above this area another office and the owner's music and exercise room. Steps from the main home and parking area is the poolhouse. A one bedroom, with bath, and open living room, a kitchen and wall with a fireplace centered upon it. Additionally, floor to ceiling windows overlook the pool. At the top of the property just through the gates is the third dwelling, the Gatehouse, 1 Starjem.
