Fox Ridge Farm. A lovely country home on 9+ bucolic acres, privately situated in beautiful Dutchess County, NY. This listing includes two separate parcels; the house on 7.11 acres on one side of the road and a 2.61 acre parcel with a picturesque pond on the other side.

The interior features high ceilings, attractive moldings, fireplaces, and handsome wood flooring. The main level includes a country kitchen, warmed by a pellet stove, a formal dining room, a living room with French doors to a sunroom, a spacious family room, and a powder room. On the second level, you will find three large bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a sunroom. There is a staircase to the third level for easy attic access. The offering includes a carriage house, the perfect space for guests. Its setting atop a knoll positions the house gracefully on the land and offers sweeping views of manicured lawn. Glorious trees dot the landscape surrounding the home and there is a fine mix of lush meadow and hillside behind the barn. For outdoor enjoyment, there is a lovely covered front porch, a large screened porch off the back of the house, and an attractive stone patio with a firepit. A large barn presents ideal space for a studio or workshop. In addition, there is a tractor shed and several small period barns. Centrally located in the countryside, yet convenient to the Salt Point Turnpike. From there, it's just a short drive to Poughkeepsie Metro-North train station, Millbrook and Rhinebeck, all within 15 miles. This property is equally suited for either a principal residence or a weekend retreat. A very special offering in the Hudson Valley, a charming property in a magical setting.
