A true haven of tranquility and beauty in the hills of Austerlitz, located just minutes from the hamlet of Spencertown. Sweeping views of the rolling hills form a perfect backdrop to the stunning pond, all of which can be enjoyed from the ideally placed front porch of this delightful home. The 17 private acres feature a scenic mix of woodlands and open spaces, complete with quiet trails to explore and a winding creek to follow. You will never want to leave the shade of the spacious front porch, except to swim in the crystal-clear pond or to barbecue on the private back deck. Completely restored under an architect's guidance, the residence was thoughtfully sited for absolute privacy, set far back from the road and secluded by mature trees. While offering total seclusion, convenience is just around the corner. A great cup of coffee is only minutes away in the village of Chatham, and the famous Hawthorne Valley Farm Store is just an eight-minute drive.
