About This Home

895 Route 83

Middlefield, an iconic country estate set on 45 acres in the scenic Hudson Valley is being offered for sale for the first time in its history. The house, designed by AD 100 architect and author of The Great American House, Gil Schafer reflects a deep reverence for classical architecture, craftsmanship, and the natural landscape. Conceived as a place where history and modern living seamlessly intertwine, Middlefield embodies the warmth and character of traditional American architecture while offering all the comforts expected of a 21st-century retreat. Approached by a winding drive lined with old-growth trees and native plantings, the house is perfectly situated to take advantage of both its privacy and its connection to the surrounding landscape. The Greek Revival house featuring a classical double height portico exudes an understated elegance, with a symmetrical facade, gracious proportions, and handcrafted details that nod to the region’s rich architectural heritage. Inside, every room is designed to feel both grand and intimate. A center hall leads to beautifully scaled double parlor living and dining spaces. Each of which is filled with soft natural light and thoughtfully framed views of the surrounding garden and woodlands. A generous three season porch is set off the main living spaces and takes full advantage of the western sunsets and summer breeze. Reclaimed antique wide-plank floors, custom-made door hardware and millwork, and antique mantels create a sense of timelessness, while carefully selected finishes and a restrained palette lend an air of relaxed sophistication. The kitchen, designed as the heart of the home, balances utility and beauty with custom cabinetry, a large wood burning fireplace, and a charming yet functional butler’s pantry. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms offer a sanctuary of calm, with the primary suite enjoying a view overlooking the rolling hills. Three upstairs baths are outfitted with classic fixtures and honed marble, recalling the quiet luxury of historic country homes. A third-floor media room and studio provide a quiet getaway for one to relax or work while taking advantage of the views from the dramatic fan light windows. The landscape, designed by Deborah Nevins, is as carefully considered as the architecture. A series of garden rooms using walls, Hornbeam, Yew, and Boxwood hedges, trees, and lawn terraces mediate between the architecture of the residence and the land. Meanwhile, the kitchen garden and stone terrace overlooking hand-laid stone walls and clipped hedges offer the perfect setting for outdoor dining. This is a house meant to be lived in, where every detail tells a story, and every space invites you to slow down and appreciate the beauty of place. A rare opportunity to own a home that is both deeply rooted in tradition and effortlessly suited to modern life in one of the most sought-after corners of the Hudson Valley.
