01 · The whole

Forty-nine acres, walled in stone

Old stone walls, two to three feet high, trace the boundaries. From anywhere on the property you cannot see another house.

This model is built from 2022 USGS LiDAR and 50-cm satellite imagery. Every contour and treetop is measured, not drawn.

02 · The drive

A road of its own

From the gate on Cold Spring Road, the newly graveled drive runs the length of the old railroad bed, which is part of the property itself: about 1,730 feet to the clearing, with Wappinger Creek running below it to the east.

03 · The clearing

A level site for the barn

At the end of the rail bed the trees open onto a level clearing. It is the approved site for a barn with a one-bedroom apartment: septic system, well location and design were approved by the Dutchess County Department of Behavioral & Community Health in June 2024.

04 · The hill

Around the pines, up to the house site

The drive winds around a grove of tall pines to the main house site, a hilltop that looks down on the bends of Cold Spring Creek.

The house envelope shown is illustrative, placed on the hilltop the owners chose.

05 · The water

Two trout streams

More than half a mile of Cold Spring Creek winds through the land, riffles and pools under the hardwoods, before meeting Wappinger Creek below the old railroad culvert, where a deep pool forms.

Location

In the quiet middle of Dutchess County

Tucked into the Town of Stanford between Millbrook and Pine Plains, and close enough to the Hudson for an evening in Rhinebeck.
