Set well back from one of Stone Ridge’s most coveted country roads on 12 private acres, this light-filled contemporary retreat is surrounded by mature woods, where walls of windows frame the landscape and every season becomes part of everyday living.

Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, the heart of the home is a dramatic open great room where the kitchen, dining, and living spaces come together beneath soaring lofted ceilings. Hardwood floors, expansive windows, and a wood-burning stove create a warm yet airy atmosphere. Two sets of Andersen French doors open to an expansive deck, seamlessly extending the living space outdoors for grilling, dining al fresco, or simply taking in the stars after sunset. Just beyond, a fire pit offers the perfect gathering spot on cool Hudson Valley evenings.

A sunroom wrapped in walls of windows offers a tranquil second living space, inviting the surrounding landscape indoors and providing a cozy retreat with its own wood-burning stove. The first-floor primary suite is a peaceful escape featuring a spacious walk-in closet and a spa-like bath with a soaking tub and steam shower. A separate laundry room and powder room complete the main level.

Upstairs, an open loft overlooks the great room below, creating the perfect space for a home office, reading nook, or creative studio. Two additional bedrooms, including one with a generous walk-in closet, share a full bath.

Additional features include individual air conditioning in every room, a whole-house generator, a whole-house water filtration system, a brand-new tankless hot water heater, basement storage, and an attached two-car garage. Surrounded by extensive landscaping and mature trees, the property offers exceptional privacy, abundant wildlife, excellent birdwatching, private trails for walking and winter snowshoeing, and some of the area’s best stargazing. There is ample room to add a pool, and the separately deeded adjoining 18.4-acre parcel is also available for purchase, offering a rare opportunity to create a nearly 30-acre estate or preserve the surrounding landscape for generations to come.

Offering the rare combination of privacy and convenience, 490 Peak Road is just minutes from the historic hamlet of Stone Ridge and some of the Hudson Valley’s most beloved destinations. Spend the afternoon golfing or dining at Inness, picking apples and enjoying wood-fired pizza at Westwind Orchard, catching live music and craft beer at Arrowood Farms, or exploring miles of trails at Minnewaska State Park and Mohonk Preserve. The shops, restaurants, and farmers markets of Kingston, High Falls, and Accord are all within easy reach, making this an exceptional full-time residence or weekend retreat with excellent Airbnb potential in the heart of the Hudson Valley.
