A Bucolic Hudson Valley Family Retreat
Nestled on a picturesque 53-acre former Christmas tree farm in Millbrook, New York, this meticulously designed family home embodies charm, elegance, and a seamless connection to its natural surroundings. Originally an 1800s farmhouse, the property has been thoughtfully expanded and reimagined into a gracious retreat that balances timeless character with modern comforts.
The house’s design exudes warmth and authenticity, with carefully restored 19th-century elements such as original pine floors and period-inspired furnishings blending harmoniously with contemporary touches. The living spaces are inviting and layered, featuring antique American, English, and French tables, a zebra rug, needlepoint accents, and vibrant textiles.
A stunning addition to the home is the light-filled garden room, a serene space with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the landscape, offering a perfect spot for family gatherings. The adjoining master suite showcases a playful mix of gingham-upholstered walls, toile bed hangings, and floral drapery, epitomizing a love for pattern and color.
Outside, the landscape has been transformed into a series of intimate outdoor "rooms," including an apple orchard, flower garden, alfresco entertaining areas, and a pool. This thoughtful arrangement creates a cohesive and enchanting environment that complements the home's architecture.
Every detail of the home reflects its owners’ passion for equestrian pursuits, entertaining, and a deep appreciation for beauty in all forms. The result is a sanctuary where every corner tells a story, making it an extraordinary setting for modern country living.
