48 Decker Road, Stanfordville, NY, 12581

Reached by a long, private drive, the property unfolds passing fenced paddocks and stable with more than 20 acres of open lawn, woods, and meadow, offering a level of quiet and privacy that is increasingly rare. Whether tending a garden, enjoying a few animals, or unwinding beside the pool or terrace, life here settles into an easy, unhurried pace. The house reflects a Scandinavian influence in both layout and material choice, favoring simplicity, light, and purpose. At the center of the main living space, exposed timber beams radiate from a single structural column, giving the room a sense of order while adding warmth and texture. White-painted walls and tall windows bring in consistent natural light, while stone floors and natural wood finishes ground the interiors in the surrounding landscape. An open floor plan connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas, creating an easy flow suited to everyday living as well as gathering. The design is practical and flexible, with three bedrooms and two full baths, and the option for a primary bedroom either on the main level or upstairs. An additional office or flex space allows for work or study without interrupting the openness of the home. Outdoor spaces are designed with the same straightforward approach. The pool is set into a wide stone terrace that blends naturally with the property, while seating areas look out over lawn and trees rather than neighboring houses. A separate barn and two paddocks extend the usefulness of the land, whether for animals, hobbies, or storage. The Hudson Valley town of Stanford is minutes to the Taconic State Parkway and the charming hamlet of Stanfordville, where the community is largely agricultural, known for historic dairy farms and modern craft producers. A local farm market with regional produce, dairy and great coffee is conveniently nearby. The popular towns of Millbrook, Rhinebeck, and Hudson are all just a short drive away.
