Welcome to Foxleigh Estate, a designer residence perched high on over 14 private acres on a quiet dead-end road in prime Hillsdale, with sweeping Catskill and Berkshire Mountain views. A long, pea gravel drive framed by stone walls leads to this 3,666-square-foot, four-bedroom, three-bath residence that has been transformed through a full designer renovation. A new heated saltwater gunite pool and spa sanctuary with a sauna, hot tub, and cold plunge are positioned to capture breathtaking views, completing a property that sets a new standard for country living at the border of the Hudson Valley and the Berkshires. This luxurious home was built for entertaining and unwinding, just minutes to skiing and hiking, with easy access to both Hudson and Great Barrington.
The home’s character is clear from the threshold: a new Dutch door finished in high lacquer opens into interiors where every detail has been considered. Walls dressed in grass weave wallcovering, Hudson Company reclaimed white oak floors, and custom lighting create an ambiance of quiet luxury. The living room is warmed by a wood-burning fireplace and flows directly onto a new bluestone patio and cedar-fenced outdoor entertaining terrace. Off the kitchen, a sunny dining room has walls of windows offering panoramic views, with French doors that lead to the patio. A refined library with custom built-in cabinetry offers a quiet retreat for work or contemplation.
The kitchen anchors the home. Calacatta marble countertops and a double-width farmhouse sink with high-end fixtures set the tone, while a Wolf range beneath a custom stucco hood with Waterworks tile backsplash brings professional-grade performance to the space. Paneled appliances, including a Liebherr refrigerator and Miele dishwasher, sit alongside a wine fridge and custom built-in cabinetry, creating a kitchen suited to a quiet weekday morning and a large dinner party. A built-in bar station with wine cooler and ice maker serves the adjacent dining area. The primary suite features a Juliet porch capturing the mountain views, a custom dressing room, and a spa-caliber bathroom with freestanding tub and walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms feature custom millwork, and a snug room with built-in bed offers additional sleeping space. A custom mudroom with bench and closet, a laundry room with LG washer and dryer, and retractable screen doors round out the interior.
The grounds, designed by Wagner Hodgson, include a heated gunite saltwater pool surrounded by stone walls and fencing, with pea gravel paths and stone steps connecting to the broader landscape. A spa sanctuary set into the woods features a WiFi-enabled sauna, a gunite hot tub and cold plunge with app controls, and custom ipe decking, creating a resort-quality wellness retreat. A built-in Lynx Sedona grill connected to the house gas line, a new ipe deck, a cedar outdoor shower, and a remotely controlled irrigation system for garden beds complete the outdoors. A serene pond adds to the property’s natural character, and old-growth trees line the quiet road that borders the estate.
The lower level gym with direct outdoor access overlooks the pond through a wall of glass, and is equipped with a Pilates reformer and treadmill. Infrastructure upgrades include a new well pump, hot water tank, and water filtration system, a 22KW Generac generator, a 1,000-gallon in-ground propane tank capable of powering the home for up to a week, new HVAC upstairs, and a new front portico at the main entrance. Interiors and architectural updates by celebrated designer Louise Copeland of L.B. Copeland, including a reconfigured floor plan, new kitchen, flooring, lighting, and front portico. Offered with the option to purchase furnished. At this level of design, setting, and privacy, Foxleigh Estate is without peer in the region.
