Set into a Rhinebeck hillside, this one modern retreat pairs a restrained architectural silhouette with a dark, high-contrast exterior of black-stained vertical cedar and a standing-seam metal roof. Across six wooded acres, forest views and a quiet seasonal pond create a sense of privacy and immersion in nature. Inside, comfort leads the experience, from a fireplace-centered living space to a spa-like primary bath with a freestanding tub. It reads as an upscale country escape, close to the cultural pulse of the village.

From its hillside setting in Olsen near Rhinebeck, a restrained silhouette meets the landscape with a standing-seam roof and vertical cedar siding, stained a distinctive black. Six private wooded acres create a sense of quiet seclusion, wrapped around a seasonal pond that shifts with the year. Inside, the sequence feels intentional: a living volume anchored by a fireplace, then spaces that turn back toward the forest at every opportunity. The primary suite leans into that mood with a spa-like bath, where a freestanding tub is positioned to frame the trees beyond. Minutes from Rhinebeck village, the property offers an easy balance between daily escape and town life—woodland calm at home, with the Hudson Valley’s rhythms close at hand.
