12 BABCOCK WAY

Perched high overlooking Ryder Pond and set on a gorgeous 10-acre property amid the rolling hills of Millbrook Hunt Country, this modern, artisan built home evokes a rambling 18th century colonial home in all its authentic exterior and interior details. This is a true modern Farmhouse! This spacious, three-story home is just minutes away from the Bangall hamlet and the villages of Millbrook, Rhinebeck, and Pine Plains. In a most private, peaceful setting, the property is completely surrounded by large properties protected by conservation easements. Beautiful stone walls and two gracious stone terraces welcome you to multiple entries, including one with a generously proportioned, slate-floored mudroom. Stunning views from every vantage point on the property are mesmerizing. Abounding with authentic, colonial-era architectural details, from the hand-forged iron door and cabinet latches to antique, repurposed wide board wood floors throughout, every design touch is well-thought out, blending old and new in the most ingenious, imaginative ways. The home's large kitchen is followed by a library with built-in bookshelves. This room could also serve as a master bedroom, as it also has a hidden full bathroom behind a movable bookshelf. Next, there is an office with a fireplace. The sitting room features an entryway with a powder room. Upstairs, on the second floor, there are three big bedrooms. The primary bedroom features windows looking out in three directions. Up on the top floor is a big playroom, with two large windows. In the full basement, there is a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a modern laundry area and ample storage and plenty of built-in shelving. The grounds encompass a heated gunite pool just steps away from a separate building housing a loft-like heated artist's studio. DLC Easements.
