Description
Set on over an acre of private land at 297 Turkey Hill Rd in Red Hook, this inviting country retreat captures the relaxed rhythm and natural beauty of the Hudson Valley. Just minutes from the Taconic State Parkway for an easy ride to NYC, the property is surrounded by rolling countryside and close to hiking trails, state parks, and skiing, making it the perfect weekend escape or full-time residence.
A welcoming covered front sitting porch greets you as you arrive, the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee while listening to birdsong drift across the trees. Inside, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath ranch offers two distinctive levels of living. The main floor features soaring vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light, creating an airy, open atmosphere. A huge eat-in kitchen overlooks the living area, making it an ideal gathering space for family and friends. The first-floor primary suite offers comfort and privacy, while an additional bedroom features a charming Romeo-and-Juliet balcony overlooking the backyard and the heated 20x40 in-ground pool. A full bath, spacious mudroom, and attached 3-car garage complete the level.
The lower level provides even more room to spread out with a large family room centered around a pellet stove capable of heating the entire home, creating a warm and cozy gathering place in the cooler months. There's plenty of space for recreation, movie nights, or a game room for the kids, along with an additional bedroom, full bath, and abundant storage. Central air conditioning keeps things comfortable in the summer, while the whole-house generator ensures the lights stay on and life continues uninterrupted no matter what Mother Nature delivers.
Outside is where the true Hudson Valley lifestyle unfolds. The rear deck is the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring the region, whether you've been hiking nearby trails, skiing in the winter, or paddling across the peaceful waters of Lake Taghkanic. The heated 20x40 pool becomes the centerpiece of summer gatherings, with plenty of room for lounging, grilling, and dining under the open sky. As evening settles in, the surrounding trees and open sky create a sense of calm rarely found today--deer often meander through the yard, fireflies flicker across the lawn, and the quiet beauty of the countryside reminds you why life in the Hudson Valley is so special.
