Description

Welcome to a singular 14-acre estate tucked into the hills above Millbrook that can do triple duty as a residence, corporate headquarters, and retreat. This versatile compound features three buildings, unparalleled privacy, and meticulous craftsmanship surrounded by thousands of acres of rolling hills and woods, and two hours from New York City. Set at an 800-foot elevation, Treetops Estate welcomes visitors with an elegant stone gate, waterfalls, and fountains, and the heart of the property includes a main house, carriage house, and pool house nestled among manicured grounds and perennial gardens. Inside the main home, a soaring cupola, open floor plan, high ceilings, and abundant windows lend a sunny, spacious flow. Just off the foyer is an executive-sized home office with leading-edge technology to ensure a flawless work-from-home experience. With a full en-suite bath, this space could also serve as a second bedroom suite. Also off the foyer is a den with a wet bar and another full bath, providing a versatile space for entertaining or even a library. An airy chef's kitchen features state-of-the-art appliances and French doors that open to a bluestone patio, and flows into a Great Room with a striking gas fireplace and adjacent formal dining room. Just beyond, a courtyard with a heated gunite pool and seating areas encourage alfresco dining and relaxing. Upstairs, the second floor of the home includes a spacious primary suite and additional bedroom with an en-suite full bath. Nearby, a two-story pool house is equipped with a kitchenette, full bath, laundry room, and garage access on its main floor, and a fully appointed upstairs loft apartment for visiting friends, family, or staff. Set apart from both, a private carriage house combines an open-concept living area, dining area, chef's kitchen, laundry, bedroom, and marble-tiled bathroom, and an adjoining two-car garage offers versatile storage. All three buildings are joined by intercom and remote-access security systems, with back-up well pumps ensuring purified water to each residence and smart thermostats, propane generators, and boiler sensors for steady temperature control and full electric backup. This flexible, extraordinary property is move-in ready and fully appointed to serve as a residence, head office, or retreat. Available furnished or unfurnished, it is minutes from Metro-North, services in Millbrook Village, and medical facilities, making it well-suited for full or weekend country living.
