41 Chicory Lane, Austerlitz, NY, 12017 | $1,875,000

Welcome to Chicory Hill House, a unique designer home set at the end of a long private driveway on 20 beautiful acres located in Columbia County, prime Hudson Valley. The property features pastoral views, a year-round creek, and a small waterfall woven into the landscape. Following an extensive high-end renovation and infrastructure overhaul, the original 1985 contemporary has been transformed with remarkable artistry, craftsmanship, and thoughtfully integrated modern systems. Triple-paned Austrian-engineered windows and sliding doors flood the interiors with natural light while providing outstanding insulation and quiet, and looking out onto your own private field. Major upgrades include new James Hardie concrete siding, a new roof, updated electrical and plumbing systems, new water pump infrastructure, all new split-unit heating and cooling systems, and solar panels, creating a home that is both highly energy efficient and deeply considered. The main living spaces blend warmth, texture, and refined modern design. Wide plank white oak flooring runs throughout the upper levels, while the living room centers around a dramatic floor-to-ceiling fluted marble wood-burning fireplace. The adjacent dining area includes a built-in entertaining station with an ice maker and wine fridge, ideal for hosting gatherings large and small. Walls of glass open directly onto a generous new cedar deck designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Complete with a hot tub, outdoor shower, grilling area, and sunny lounging spaces, the private deck overlooks rolling pastoral fields, creating a private outdoor setting equally suited for entertaining, quiet mornings, or evenings spent soaking under the stars. The kitchen pairs clean contemporary lines with stone countertops, custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, handcrafted emerald green Zellige tile, and Fisher & Paykel appliances. Bathrooms continue the same elevated approach, featuring marble finishes, Zellige tilework, and spa-like details including heated floors and a heated towel rack. The primary en suite bedroom is a true retreat, complete with a lofted living space overlooking the main open floor plan living area, a double walk-in closet, and tranquil woodland outlooks. The walk-out on grade lower level offers substantial additional living space ready for customization, with architectural plans available for future completion. Anchored by a wood-burning stove, the space could easily accommodate additional bedrooms alongside media, guest, spa, or studio space. Outside, mature trees and wooded landscape, and the year-round creek create a peaceful and immersive setting. A garage with space for three vehicles adds practicality to the property’s thoughtful design. Only five minutes from the village of Chatham, the property offers rare privacy and natural beauty without sacrificing access to the region’s most beloved towns, restaurants, and cultural destinations. Hudson’s celebrated Warren Street, with its restaurants, galleries, boutiques, and Amtrak station, is under twenty minutes away, while the Berkshires’ cultural and outdoor destinations, including Great Barrington, Lenox, and Tanglewood, are all within easy reach. New York City is reachable in just over two hours by car or train. Chicory Hill House delivers sophisticated country living with privacy, design, and a high level of finish at every turn.
