Description

Rolling Hill Manor is set on 20 secluded acres and invisible from every neighboring property, the manor’s stucco exterior, arched doorways, and newly refinished cherry hardwood floors announce an elegant and stunning European and modern sensibility that carries through every room. A black and white porcelain paver front stoop leads to the welcoming foyer and into the grand great room — the estate’s undeniable heart. Soaring 20-foot ceilings, a seven-foot limestone fireplace, and four sets of French doors open to a generous covered porch where the full sweep of the grounds and lake come into view at once. The entertaining wing flows naturally from here: a formal dining room with cathedral ceiling and a renovated chef’s dream kitchen appointed with Italian quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry, professional appliances, and a panoramic eat-in area that opens, again, to the porch. The primary suite, with its french doors and windows throughout, captures east, south, and west light throughout and includes a serene sitting area that doubles as a home office or reading nook framed by views of the rolling grounds. A fireplace makes the suite feel as cozy as it is expansive. The ensuite is a genuine retreat and a true extension of the space— a soaking tub, walk-in rain shower, porcelain-tiled walls, and marble underfoot. Two additional guest bedrooms and one and a half baths complete the main level. Below, nearly 2,700 square feet of finished living space unfolds across Italian travertine radiant-heat floors — a third limestone fireplace anchoring the family room and den, French doors to an enclosed bluestone patio, a fourth sleeping area or home office, and a private guest suite with ensuite bath. Geothermal HVAC, new water filtration, and a new boiler ensure the manor performs as beautifully as it presents. A large laundry room and ample storage complete the lower level. Outside, a walking path circles the private three-acre lake — swimmable, aerated, and framed by a dock and lakeside fire feature that make evening entertaining feel like an event. The kitchen garden, orchard, and native berry bushes supply the table through every season. A custom hen house keeps a working flock of laying hens; a charmibg barn shelters four goats. Easy Taconic access. Twenty minutes from Rhinebeck, thirty from Poughkeepsie or Kingston, and less than two hours from Manhattan.
