Located only a few minutes from the hamlet of Copake, NY and off a quiet country road, this private haven is set on a stunning 20 acres with rolling meadow and dramatic mountain views. The inside of the late mid-century home offers the same serenity and drama as its setting. The great room with its soaring 25 ft ceiling is flanked by a massive stone chimney and fireplace on one side and a wall of windows on the other, taking full advantage of the incredible views. The house still retains much of its original charm and character, which one could embrace or put their own stamp on. The kitchen is open to the dining area with its own stone fireplace. There are three large bedrooms and two full and one half bathrooms. The lower level has the third wood burning fireplace and walk out access to the yard and pool. A large deck looks out at the view and also has access to the in-ground pool. The property has multiple other potential building sites all with equally wonderful views, should one want a studio, guest house or the potential to subdivide. Some updates are needed, but a new septic was recently installed and this incredible setting makes it worth the effort.
