72 Cherry Hill Road Accord, NY 12404

A/O Oct 2. Show for back-ups. The Meadow House gently rises, a unifying element between the open fields and the hidden forest. Approached by a long meandering driveway off a country road, along and through laid stone walls, past majestic pin oaks, this singular home was custom designed to capture the ever-changing light as well as manage the ambient temperature. Meadow House is an interplay between gentle curves and angular lines, soaring ceilings and intimate niches, vast window walls and warm woods. Central to this 3700+sqft home is the Chef's Kitchen w/ soapstone counters, a central island, walnut cabinetry and the 8-burner Wolf range. The Dining Room, w/soaring beamed ceilings, opens onto a most special bluestone patio created by Nepalese artisans. Up a few steps and between two massive Douglas Fir timber posts, we enter the Living Room with an inviting stone woodburning fireplace and a wall of deep bookcases. The built-in leather-cushioned banquette spans 2 walls and provides the viewing spot for nature's unfolding beauty, the hearth, as well as media. This home is atypical and thus rooms offer several distinct usages as desired. We have 3 (or 4 or more ) bedrooms; the main floor ensuite primary has a sunrise sitting area which opens out to the cedar grove. An interior bridge (and exterior breezeway) connects the main house with Guest Quarters, aka Studios/Gym/Offices. This sundrenched space, with a full bath and exterior accesses, enable the many ways your needs and wishes will unfold here. The meadows offer grazing for horses, sheep and goats and the fenced, the raised-bed vegetable garden abundantly produces for your own farm-to-table. The large 2-room shed is ripe for transformation into further creative space and the walk through the woods along old walls leads you to the Kripplebush Creek. With private forest bathing, big-sky bird watching and star gazing, this property offers you permission to retreat into nature and yourself. The residence as well as the 40+ acres of land will awaken your long-hidden self. Minutes into the charming villages of Stone Ridge and High Falls, Mohonk Mountain House, Minnewaska Trails, Inness and so much more, this offering is a very fine balance.
