Description
Down a quiet country road just minutes to Hudson, this 2022 custom-built modern home sits within a rare landscape of protected farmland, open fields, and long pastoral views. The setting feels expansive and quietly intact, with fields, meadows, and forest stretching toward distant estates on the horizon. Designed with simplicity, efficiency, and permanence in mind, the house is wrapped in COR-TEN steel cladding and is fitted with European triple-pane windows, creating a thermally efficient and low maintenance home. Inside, the interiors are calm and precisely composed: 10-12 foot ceilings, concrete floors with radiant heat, a wood-burning stove, and a sense of light that shifts beautifully throughout the day. In winter, passive solar gain brings much warmth deep into the living spaces, while in summer cedar louvers and orientation keep the home naturally cool. All systems are new, including well, septic, and mechanicals. The upper level offers flexible space for office, studio, or additional sleeping quarters. Outside, the land has been shaped into a series of living landscapes. A woodland garden has been restored with native ground cover and grasses, while a fern-planted stone wall traces the edge of the property, echoing early settler history. A large pollinator garden draws butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. This home's immediate access to a network of quiet country roads invite cycling and running directly from the driveway. The large steel outbuilding is currently used for storage and parking, but could make for a fabulous studio or additional living space. Set among protected farmland with open views in every direction, the property offers a rare combination of design clarity, low maintenance living, and deep connection to its surrounding landscape.
