Introducing Gallatin Hill; a private country retreat on 21.5 acres with sweeping views across the rolling hills of the Hudson Valley. Perched high above the surrounding countryside, the property combines a bright, modern home, expansive outdoor living spaces and an in-ground pool in an exceptionally peaceful setting. The 2,240 sq ft home offers 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. At its center is an impressive open living space with soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and walls of windows that fill the room with natural light and frame the landscape beyond. The open kitchen features a large center island with seating and flows directly into the dining and living areas. A wood-burning stove anchors the living room, while oversized glass doors open onto a large deck overlooking the property and distant hills. The main level also includes the primary suite with custom built-in storage and private bath, along with two additional bedrooms and a second full bath. Downstairs, the finished walkout lower level adds an office, gym, wet bar, full bath and additional flex space, with direct access to the outdoors. Outside, the landscape is the star. The elevated deck looks out across treetops, rolling farmland and distant ridgelines. Below, a stone terrace with an oversized fire pit creates another gathering space surrounded by meadow gardens and the same remarkable views. Mown paths wind through the acreage, while the in-ground pool sits privately among mature trees and split-rail fencing. Gallatin Hill offers the increasingly hard-to-find combination of acreage, privacy, a pool and truly expansive views, all in an easy, move-in-ready country house. Minutes to Pine Plains and the James Beard Award-winning Stissing House, with easy access to Millbrook, Hudson, Red Hook and Rhinebeck. Approximately 2 hours from New York City with convenient access to the Taconic State Parkway.
