Property Description

Wildflower Hill. Behind a gated entrance on 5.94 acres in the hamlet of Ancram, a sage board-and-batten farmhouse with twin window towers and a red metal roof looks out over its own pond.The grounds were made by gardeners, and they wander. Lawns roll from the deck down to the water, where a cedar-roofed potting shed sits at the ponds edge. Stone walls hold perennial beds along the front walk, a maple turns crimson by the door, a balustrade waits where the lawn meets the woods, and a yellow shepherds wagon is parked under the trees. Add fruit and specimen trees, a red barn with a cupola, and paths that keep going.Inside are 3,937 sq ft on 3 levels, and no two rooms feel alike. The living room gathers around a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace beneath a hand-hewn beam. The dining room is all light: antique brick underfoot, hand-hewn posts overhead, built-in shelves, a stone wall, and sliders open to the deck. A custom iron stair rail, forged as branches and leaves, climbs past the stone to 3 bedrooms, an office and 2 full baths, including a primary suite with a sitting area and walk-in closet. At the top of the house, a skylit library loft lined with bookshelves, with a window nook tucked under the eaves. The white kitchen has stone counters, stainless appliances and a breakfast room set in a bay window. Powder room and laundry on the main floor.The practical side is done. A Viessmann boiler was installed in 2025 and an engineered replacement septic system was completed the same year. Mini-split air conditioning, 200-amp service with a generator hookup, private well, high-speed internet. Attached garage plus a detached 2-car garage. Inspected in 2022. Taconic Hills schools.
