354 South Rd

This 26 acre spectacular property complete with a 1/2 acre fully stocked Koi pond fed by 14 springs and views of the Shawangunk mountains from part of the property, is ready for you to make it shine again. The original one story section of the house was built in 1920 and housed livestock. The home was expanded in 1990 with a 2 story addition providing almost 5000 sq. ft. of comfortable living space. The first floor comprises a heated greenhouse, a hallway powder room, a living room with a dramatic floor to ceiling stone fireplace and a wall of windows that drench the space with natural light bringing the outside in. French doors lead to a private patio for al fresco dining enjoyment. The open floor plan leads seamlessly into the kitchen complete with a large walk-in-pantry, access to the laundry room/mud room, a powder room and the 2 car garage. Enjoy morning coffee on the deck just off the kitchen and a view of the pond after clearing some bushes. Enter a large library off the living room and an additional open room flanked by lots of windows and natural light providing a great space for entertainment. The primary ensuite bedroom enjoys plenty of space and a cedar walk-in-closet. The second floor offers three good sized ensuite bedrooms. The 1,000 sq. ft. barn, originally an agricultural barn, was converted in 1988 to a vibrant office space that has been successfully run for 35 years and is grandfathered for business use. A great opportunity to work from home and avoid a daily commute. The grounds have numerous stone walls, some of which need repair, perennials and mature trees. There is an ongoing display of flowers from March to September around the pond. For bird watchers, regular visitors include Osprey, River Hawks, Red Wing Black Birds, Herons and Kingfisher. A wonderful private setting, yet only minutes to the desirable Village of Millbrook and 3 miles to the Taconic State Parkway. The investment to make this home shine again is well worth it. Come and enjoy all that the wonderful Hudson Valley has to offer. Whether you're looking for a fabulous weekend retreat or a full-time residence, this property has a lot to offer, and with its close proximity to NYC, at just 90 miles away, you'll have the best of both worlds - peaceful country living and easy access to the city.
