109 MELVILLE Road

Live the Hudson Valley dream on this idyllic 229 acre equestrian property less than 2 hours from NYC. Set off a bucolic country road, the long and winding driveway will take you to another time as you pass old growth trees, several large grassy paddocks and a pristine fishing and boating pond. The modern colonial farmhouse is set on a hill surrounded by sweeping meadows and woodland views. Sunny and airy throughout, this residence is the perfect merging of innovation and tradition for a comfortable and relaxed country lifestyle. With pastoral views in every room, the lower level is sure to please with an open chef's kitchen which opens through French doors to a side deck and sitting area. Ideal for relaxed dining and entertaining, it extends to a family room with a seating area and small office. The adjacent formal dining room faces the pastures and leads into the living room with an impressive large wood fireplace for cozy winter nights. French doors open to a slate terrace with seating for 3 season enjoyment and al fresco dining. The terrace is also adjacent to the sunny garden room. With three walls of windows, this serene and light filled space will delight the sun worshipper and indoor gardener. The impressive entryway leads up a winding staircase with rotunda to the second floor with a master bedroom, 3 additional bedrooms, 3 full baths and an office/ study with a balcony. The grounds comprise 2 barns (one vintage early 1900s) with 26 rubber matted stalls, heated tack rooms, shed row, an indoor riding ring with cushfooting, and an outdoor arena with all weather. In addition, there is a caretaker's house with two apartments with a total of 3 bedrooms and 3 baths which could also be rented for income. Existing riding trails maintained throughout the land for horses or your favorite off-road vehicle. While perfect as-is, this property could easily transform into an event space, working agrarian farm, brewery or distillery. An additional 76 acres of adjacent spectacular land also available.
