Set far back from the road, down a long drive in a sleepy corner of picturesque Columbia County, this very private country home is situated on 13 acres of gently rolling hills with a spring fed pond and dazzling sunsets. Step through the glass front door into a welcoming foyer, where to the right a serene office with french doors offer a luxurious work-from-home space. From the foyer, the great room with vaulted ceilings beckons with its wall of windows and cozy stone fireplace. Off the great room is the first-floor primary suite, suffused with light from the bay of picture windows that look out onto the bucolic landscape. The primary suite includes a bath with oversized jetted tub, glass shower, a double vanity and expansive walk-in closet. Also off the great room are the eat-in chef’s kitchen and the formal dining room, an elegant space for holiday dinners. Let your inner-chef awaken in the fully-equipped kitchen, designed for ease of cooking with a long center island with prep sink, a 36” Wolf gas range, custom cherry cabinets, and a cheerful breakfast nook set into oversized bay windows. Past the kitchen a hallway leads to a renovated full bath with marble vanity, glass shower and radiant heated floors. Continuing past a convenient laundry area is a sunny bonus room (currently set up as a bedroom) with views of the pond and glass french doors that open to a bluestone patio. The second floor hosts three more bedrooms that share another full bath, and a small loft that could serve as another office or exercise space.. Finishing off the property, the detached, heated, three-car garage features a one bed, one bath apartment above it, perfect for guests or additional work-from-home space. The property itself is an idyllic outdoor oasis offering swimming and fishing in the 1 acre pond with dock and small beach. Walking trails meander throughout the back meadows and a large 5-bed garden appeals to the homesteader inside. Your country escape awaits!
