luxury houses with reception room for sale Millbrook, United States

A gracious Millbrook country house with remarkable scale, warmth and character, 663 Camby Road offers nearly 4,000 square feet of beautifully considered living space on 3.12 pastoral acres. Built in 1920 as a classic center-hall Colonial and thoughtfully expanded and reimagined by noted local architect Daniel Contelmo, the four-bedroom, three-bath residence pairs the symmetry and character of its original architecture with the soul and texture of a classic farmhouse, dramatic light-filled spaces and a distinctly stylish point of view. The extraordinary great room is the centerpiece of the house: soaring vaulted ceilings crossed by antique beams, wide-plank wood floors, a substantial stone fireplace and a dramatic wall of floor-to-ceiling bookshelves create a space that feels both impressive and deeply comfortable. French doors open to the grounds, while the adjoining dining room and kitchen flow naturally together for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features cabinetry in a subtle green hue, complemented by white subway tile and new white quartz countertops with delicate speckling. A generous center island, three pantry closets and stainless-steel appliances complete the space. An exceptionally spacious mudroom, with polished concrete floors and abundant hooks and storage for coats, boots and bags, provides a handsome and highly practical everyday entrance to the house. The expansive first floor also includes a second living room, full bath, newly renovated laundry room, flexible office or studio, and a private bedroom with an en-suite full bath. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms, including a generous primary bedroom with a large walk-in closet, along with a full bath and loft. The grounds are equally inviting. A circular drive introduces the property, framed by mature trees, established landscaping and broad lawn. A flagstone patio creates a natural setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, while walking trails meander through the property to a secluded meadow beyond the main grounds. A peaceful Zen garden provides another private outdoor retreat, while a flexible recreation court currently accommodates both basketball and pickleball. A substantial fenced area, attached garage and charming garden room well suited to potting, storage or creative use complete the property. Recent improvements include new white quartz kitchen countertops and updated appliances, a completely renovated laundry room, a new well pump, new chimney liner and cap, updated front entry and porch, fencing, and septic-access improvements. Set along a scenic country road amid farms, equestrian properties and conserved countryside, 663 Camby Road feels private and distinctly rural while remaining approximately five miles from the Village of Millbrook, convenient to Metro-North and about 90 minutes from New York City.

Set in the hills above Millbrook, West Meadow is encircled as far as the eye can see by endless, heart-stopping views of the entire Hudson Valley. The house and pool sit on a beautifully landscaped plateau above a sloping lawn that gives way to a prolific cutting garden, rose beds, tennis court wrapped in wisteria vines, and groomed meadows. A fruit orchard and abundant vegetable garden enhance the pastoral beauty while providing a measure of sustainability. The architect Pietro Cicognani designed a home that harmoniously balances details of comfort, beauty, modernity, and history. West Meadow feels as if it’s been in place for centuries. The spacious great room boasts two 18th century stone fireplaces and floors of limestone tile imported from France. Fresh air and light pour in through six custom French doors facing both east and west. The library opens to a long covered porch and one of many stunning views. A central gathering place for friends and loved ones, the kitchen is warmed by a fireplace with pizza oven. In the summer, a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and doors opens to fragrant gardens, thyme- and lavender-laced stone terraces, the uninterrupted panorama, and matchless sunsets. Upstairs, the primary suite features vaulted ceiling, large windows, and spacious accommodations for luxurious comfort and self-care, including steam shower and a soaking tub that has its very own view. On the bottom floor, a remarkable two thousand bottle wine cellar and tasting room offers something special for oenophiles and casual wine enthusiasts alike. Also on that level is built-in cedar storage, a full laundry, and a staff bedroom. A long, private drive leads through the natural habitat to every outdoor spot on the estate that has been designed for restful ease, comfort, and beauty. Discreetly set apart from the residence, outbuildings include a caretaker’s home, a two-bedroom guest suite, heated greenhouse, four-stall equipment garage, full shop, office, chicken house, and run-in shed. There is ample room on the property for livestock or a stick and ball polo field. Surrounding the house, the columned porch allows for seating in sun or shade, and panoramic views for watching a storm approach, an eagle cavort, or the sun lower in the painted sky.
