426 County Route 11 Ancram, NY 12502

A storybook country home that merges modern sensibility with the character of an authentic Dutch stone cottage. Built in the 70s using local fieldstone and wide plank floors and hand-hewn beams from nearby 18th century barns, Gallatin House has been meticulously upgraded by the current architect/owner into a sophisticated rural retreat. Perched on 12 acres with views of the Taconic hills, this picturesque compound includes a pool, guesthouse, English garden and hiking trails. Main house highlights include timber framed great room with stone fireplace, romantic primary suite and country kitchen with premier luxury appliances. A modern dining wing, recently added, opens to a sprawling outdoor deck. A coveted location near Hudson and Rhinebeck and only a mile from the Taconic State Parkway.
