DESCRIÇÃO

A rare sanctuary in the heart of the hudson valley welcome to “querencia” — a masterpiece of heritage and modern design nestled down a peaceful country lane, in the heart of the town of kinderhook, is a one-of-a-kind retreat where architectural legacy and contemporary vision meet in perfect harmony.  Privately sited on eight acres and bordered by 600 acres of protected farmland, this extraordinary property offers unmatched seclusion, serenity, and soul.  Originally constructed in 1740 and thoughtfully expanded in 1840, the farmhouse has been meticulously restored by its current owners.  A bold, mid-20th century, modern addition was designed by world renowned architect john messick, the founding partner of mcwb architects and a disciple of i.  M.  Pei.  Beautifully integrating stone, wood, and glass to create a residence that is at once timeless and strikingly modern.  The five-bedroom, four-bathroom home is a living work of art.  Original dutch doors, hand-hewn beams, wide-plank floors, and antique hardware reflect its heritage, while a sculptural curved staircase anchors the historic section of the home.  At the heart lies a dramatic, light-filled great room anchored by a silo-inspired inglenook fireplace.  This modern wing flows effortlessly into the chef’s kitchen and dining area, where sweeping views of meadows, gardens, and the surrounding farmland provide a daily sense of peace and awe.  The layout is designed for balance and ease, offering three en-suite bedrooms—including primary suites on both floors.  The first-floor suite boasts its own fireplace and dressing room, while the second-floor suite provides treetop views and an atmosphere of tranquil luxury.  Two additional bedrooms share a beautifully appointed full bath, where a soaking tub is positioned to frame the landscape like a painting.  Outside, the magic continues.  Stone terraces invite alfresco dining.  A shimmering swimming pool, two storybook barns (one weathered, one red), fields of wildflowers, winding paths, and two spring-fed ponds create a landscape alive with beauty, ideal for reflection and recreation.  Ideally located just 10 minutes to kinderhook, 15 to chatham, 20 to hudson and amtrak, and 40 to albany international airport, is an inspired weekend haven or a full-time sanctuary.  Rarely does a property of this level become available.  It's more than a home—it is a place of belonging, shaped by history, designed for inspiration, and ready for its next chapter.  “querencia” — where you feel most at home.
