4 Peaceful Retreats Available in New York

Location, location Location heated pool and tennis court. Perched on one of Hillsdale’s most bucolic and quiet roads, everything about this 1800s cedar shingled property says, Welcome home.’’ Its owners painstakingly transformed the center hall colonial, bringing more brightness to the first floor. The airy kitchen has granite counters, and includes a Viking stove and Miele dishwasher, and opens to a three-season porch with a Vermont Casting propane stove. The four bedroom home has 3.5 baths (including a 5×6’ Whirlpool tub in primary bath, conveniently located on main floor with a door that leads to a quiet patio). The stately living room has a working fireplace, as does the primary bedroom.

Listing details: The meticulously maintained property includesd tennis court and heated swimming pool (with electrically-operated cover), rambling stone walls, and a quarter-acre pond. An abundance of spectacular trees (lilacs, tri-colored beech, Katsura, river birch, Japanese red lace leaf maple) grace the verdant yard, as well as a fenced-in vegetable garden and several perennial floral gardens designed by a landscape artist who trained at the NY Botanical Garden. The sprawling property (which has approval for subdivision) even includes three hiking paths that lead to Catamount ski trails, but calling this ski in/ski out would be apocryphal the property and the ski area are separated by a significant rise, so no concern for noise. Three-car garage, Five minutes from Hillsdale Center , 15 mins from Great Barrington. A unique find, indeed.

Owner says this property is the best of both worlds. Very relaxing. Rustic Village but country feel. This five bedroom home sits on just over a half acre. The backyard would be anybody’s sanctuary. There is a Koi pond, tiki bar with running water, gazebo, five person hot tub that overflows into the 8 x 20 heated pool.
