279 Tompkins Road, Ancram, NY, 12502

Set boldly on a quiet hillside in Ancram, NY, where open farmland stretches outward and long-range views carry across the horizon, Casa de Campo is an exercise in clarity and restraint. A pre-cast concrete form anchors the structure to the land. Inside, the architecture resolves into clean planes, polished concrete underfoot, and warm oak millwork that introduces just enough softness. Light is the central material. It moves deliberately through the house, gathering along walls, slipping across floors, and pulling the landscape inward. The main living space is defined by 12.5 foot ceilings and continuous walls of glass on either side, dissolving the boundary between interior and exterior. Fields, trees and distant ridgelines become part of the composition, shifting subtly with time of day and season. The kitchen is fully integrated, concealed within custom cabinetry, allowing the space to read as a whole rather than in parts. On either side of the home, two bedrooms are quietly scaled and intentionally minimal. A built-in bunk room offers an additional layer of flexibility, while a separate den with a Murphy bed extends the home’s capacity without interrupting its rhythm. The bath continues the same language, with a walk-in shower positioned beside a full-height window, framing a close view of the surrounding woods. Outside, a broad concrete terrace runs along the façade, a place to sit with the landscape as it unfolds across open farmland and distant hills. The setting is distinctly rural, yet composed, with a sense of space that feels both expansive and deeply private. Offered as a long-term, furnished rental, this is a home for someone attuned to architecture, to light, and to the quiet presence of the land. Despite its privacy, the home is ideally located for access to the surrounding region. Just minutes to Millerton for coffee, dining, and the Harlem Valley Rail Trail. Catamount Mountain Resort is nearby for skiing, hiking, and year-round outdoor recreation. The Berkshires, including Great Barrington and Lenox, are within easy reach, offering a well-known mix of cultural destinations, farmstands, and seasonal events. A setting that balances seclusion with proximity to some of the most sought-after destinations in the Hudson Valley and western Massachusetts, Casa de Campo is an ideal home base for exploring the Hudson Valley and Berkshires from a low-maintenance, modern, design-forward retreat. Offered Furnished
