Set on a hillside of almost 80 acres, this architectural gem looks over a magnificent valley nestled in gentle rolling hills, meadows and woodlands with views to distant mountains. The overall design was conceived by the owner/architect Sam Brody, FAIA, for his family and features a 4,250 SF main home connected to a separate guest suite and balanced by an artist's studio, steps across a landscaped courtyard. A carport at the main entrance provides covered barrier-free entry for both the house and guest suite and is framed by the gardens beyond. Once inside, the brick-floored entry foyer connects to the open plan dining area and kitchen. These rooms have sweeping views to the south and east. A screened-in porch for carefree dining and watching the morning sunrise runs the entire length of the dining room and kitchen with multiple French doors for access. Just off the dining room is the library with walls covered in custom bookshelves and direct access into the landscaped courtyard. Beyond that and hidden away, is the primary en-suite bedroom looking out into the courtyard's lush blooms. The centerpiece of the house is a cathedral-vaulted living room with a unique custom designed two-story brick fireplace surrounded by a wall of windows. Upstairs is a second bedroom, full bath and loft overlooking the living room. The spacious walkout basement has large windows and double glass doors to an exterior garden and provides potential for additional living space. To the left of the carport is a beautifully designed guest suite with full bathroom covered in beautiful redwood. At the edge of the home's garden courtyard sits the artist's studio, bathed in natural light with electric, heat and running water. Beyond the gardens is a naturally placed gunite pool. There are agricultural tax exemptions on part of the property while the upper wooded section can potentially be subdivided offering views to the northeast. A country setting close to Millbrook, Copake and Hudson.
