Set against the protected beauty of Turtle Pond Preserve, this beautifully updated Dutch Colonial offers the kind of setting that feels increasingly rare in the Hudson Valley. Mature trees, dramatic rock outcroppings, and a sprawling park-like lawn create an incredible sense of privacy, while direct access to hiking trails and Turtle Pond itself turn the property into a true nature retreat. With nearly 3,000 square feet of living space, the home blends timeless architecture with a warm, modern style. The main level features an updated kitchen with breakfast bar, spacious dining room, first-floor bedroom, renovated full bath, and an additional study perfect for work-from-home living. Upstairs is where the home truly shines. A dramatic living room with fireplace opens to spectacular western-facing views over Turtle Pond Reserve and a deck perfectly positioned for sunset evenings overlooking the water. A massive family room adds even more space to gather and unwind, while the primary suite includes a newly renovated en-suite bath. There is also an additional bedroom and an office on this level. A new roof was also added within the last year. Outside, enjoy exclusive rights to Turtle Pond for fishing, rowing, and winter ice skating, along with endless nearby hiking and outdoor adventures. The combination of level usable land, protected open space, and stunning natural surroundings makes this property feel peaceful, private, and deeply connected to nature. Located in Patterson, you’re close to charming towns like Pawling, Brewster, and Katonah, with easy access to favorites like McKinney & Doyle Fine Foods Cafe, Farmer and the Fish, Tilly's Table, nearby orchards, skiing at Thunder Ridge Ski Area, and hiking at Great Hollow Nature Preserve. Plus, Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s are just 20 minutes away in Danbury. All only 55 miles north of the George Washington Bridge.
