My home is a four-season sanctuary for all who adore nature, farm animals, and lust for simple comfort with quality relaxation in picturesque rolling hills amidst horse farms, barns, polo fields, and expansive trails dotting quaint small hamlets in northern Dutchess County NY. A serene modern country compound, my home is set on a hill surrounded by three acres of wooded nature. A winding long driveway off a quiet country road leads to this charming white center hall colonial cottage. The cottage is rustic chic, filled with modern amenities for simplicity and comfort. The house has fast reliable wifi with a large coverage area, ensuring connection whether Guests choose to work in the Attic, Patio or Deck.
