Land with Home for Sale in Old Chatham, New York

A long winding country road, a dirt driveway, a fifty acre sanctuary. This stunning post & beam barn house sits on a one acre pond amid fields & fields of wildflowers and deep pine forest. Built by a premier builder in the area, the contemporary home has 20ft ceilings, a giant expanse that feels warm and inviting. The home is longer than it is wide with a substantial kitchen at the center. A large island and dining table run side by side, and you'll find high end appliances in a sharp, polished black finish. A wood burning stove sits between the kitchen and living room, and a den sits in the northwest corner. This entire first floor looks out over the pond to the fields in the distance. Upstairs, you have a giant open loft overlooking the main living space, a bedroom with gorgeous views of the property and a full bath. Antique fixtures such as faucets, sinks and hardware are interspersed throughout the home, and the post and beam construction incorporates reclaimed hand hewn beams, making this new build feel authentic and well beyond its years (in a good way). Radiant heated concrete floors span the lower level of the home where you'll find three bedrooms. Two share a full bath, and one is ensuite with a large, walk-in closet and glass doors leading outside to a pebble patio overlooking the water. There is also a sitting room on the lower level, light and bright, with sliding glass doors that lead outside. The entire house is west facing and enjoys fabulous sunsets. A cottage is tucked back against the tree line, as charming as could possibly be with a full kitchen, a large bedroom and a full bath. 2.5h to NYC, 2.5h to Boston, 30m to Hudson and Amtrak. Dorland Farm is a little slice of Hudson Valley heaven.
