Ideal Summer Retreat. This 4 bedroom (all ensuite), is a perfect blend of chic furnishings and modern conveniences, located in a quiet lakeside community in the heart of Pine Plains but also removed and private. A stones-throw away from Stissing Pond, where you can swim, launch SUP’s and go fishing for trophy Bass, or take a leisurely bike ride around the lake, 3-5 mile loop (local traffic mostly). If a hike is in order, in the opposite direction from the lake, a short walk with ponds and open vistas, you will find Stissing Mountain (1400’ ft elevation) and Thompson Pond Preserve where you will find several miles of varying hiking trails and challenges that await!
The home sits on over 1.5 acres of lush lawns front and rear with mature landscaping and trees flanking the property for complete privacy except for the abundant wildlife that calls it home. Bright, airy, and furnished immaculately down to the crispy white linens, towels, rugs and furniture. The home also offers a true and enviable office for those pesky Zoom meetings that pop up. A great room and parlor provide ample space for those summer dinner parties with the deck off the living-room providing an extension of entertaining to the outdoors seamlessly. Whole home heating and cooling with warm accent lighting throughout will set the mood for the most discerning palate. The rear of the property abuts a forever view of agricultural reserve with distant mountain and rolling hill views from every room of the home. The attached garage is equipped with all of the fun you could need including a ping pong table, fishing essentials, 2 stand up paddle boards and a pair of high end mountain bikes.
Local Farms and Dairy Farms offer fresh milk, ice cream, butter, as well as organic meats, vegetables, baked goods and essential grocery foods. Just minutes away is the famous Stissing House restaurant and others as well as a pharmacy, liquor store and post. One barely needs to go out but if you do there are plays and concerts at the Stissing Center (minutes away) throughout the season as well as concerts in Tivoli, Shakespeare in Lenox, plays at the Sharon Playhouse to mention just a few with historical houses, galleries and museums too. The train to the city is 25 minutes away and the Taconic Parkway is close by should you need to get to the city. Country Life.. it’s good for you.
If requested, the nursery can be cleared and delivered with a full size bed to serve as a true 4th bedroom.
Come see this home, location, and summer opportunity soon! This is a one-off rental that likely will not come to market again.
