Tucked away on serene Charlie Hill Road, the property immediately welcomes you with sweeping sights of the rolling meadow and water.

Featuring a cozy window seat and panoramic sights, it is the ultimate private retreat to escape with a good book and watch the sun go down. While the property feels like a completely private sanctuary, it is incredibly accessible to the best of the region. Located less than ten minutes away is the center of Millerton, New York, celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere, antique shops, local eateries, and The Moviehouse. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the immediate access to the Harlem Valley Rail Trail, offering 26 miles of paved trails from Wassaic to Hillsdale for walking, running, biking, and winter cross-country skiing.

Originally built as the gatehouse to the Standish estate, this charming vernacular cottage dates to 1895 and is defined by its gabled roofline and storybook proportions. Set on a two acre parcel tucked among neighboring estates, the property is enveloped by old-growth trees, established gardens, and open meadow. Just minutes from the village of Millbrook, the home feels wonderfully private — nestled into the landscape and clad in a striking combination of stacked cobblestone and cedar shake. The main living spaces are warm and inviting, centered around a sweet country kitchen with a farmhouse sink and quartz countertops. A dramatic stacked stone fireplace anchors the dining room. At the north end of the house is a Great Room with vaulted ceilings and French doors that open onto a private patio. You’ll find a full bath on the first floor, and a spacious mudroom at the entry with laundry. Upstairs, two charming bedrooms are tucked beneath the dormered roofline, each filled with wonderfully scaled windows and soft natural light, alongside a full bath. Just 90 minutes north of NYC, Standish Gatehouse is an enchanting country property with fern-filled shade gardens beneath a canopy of mature trees, clusters of lilac, blooming perennials, and timeless charm in the heart of the Hudson Valley.
