Property Description

Fox Ridge Farm. A lovely country home on 9+ bucolic acres, privately situated in beautiful Dutchess County, NY. This listing includes two separate parcels; the house on 7.11 acres on one side of the road and a 2.61 acre parcel with a picturesque pond on the other side. The main house dates back to 1830 and this property has been beautifully maintained and carefully preserved over the years. The interior features high ceilings, attractive moldings, fireplaces, and handsome wood flooring. The main level includes a country kitchen, warmed by a pellet stove, a formal dining room, a living room with French doors to a sunroom, a spacious family room, and a powder room. On the second level, you will find three large bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a sunroom. There is a staircase to the third level for easy attic access. The offering includes a carriage house, the perfect space for guests. Its setting atop a knoll positions the house gracefully on the land and offers sweeping views of manicured lawn. Glorious trees dot the landscape surrounding the home and there is a fine mix of lush meadow and hillside behind the barn. For outdoor enjoyment, there is a lovely covered front porch, a large screened porch off the back of the house, and an attractive stone patio with a firepit. A large barn presents ideal space for a studio or workshop. In addition, there is a tractor shed and several small period barns. Centrally located in the countryside, yet convenient to the Salt Point Turnpike. From there, it's just a short drive to Poughkeepsie Metro-North train station, Millbrook and Rhinebeck, all within 15 miles. This property is equally suited for either a principal residence or a weekend retreat. A very special offering in the Hudson Valley, a charming property in a magical setting.
