Set in the hills above Millbrook, West Meadow is encircled as far as the eye can see by endless, heart-stopping views of the entire Hudson Valley. The house and pool sit on a beautifully landscaped plateau above a sloping lawn that gives way to a prolific cutting garden, rose beds, tennis court wrapped in wisteria vines, and groomed meadows. A fruit orchard and abundant vegetable garden enhance the pastoral beauty while providing a measure of sustainability. The architect Pietro Cicognani designed a home that harmoniously balances details of comfort, beauty, modernity, and history. West Meadow feels as if it’s been in place for centuries. The spacious great room boasts two 18th century stone fireplaces and floors of limestone tile imported from France. Fresh air and light pour in through six custom French doors facing both east and west. The library opens to a long covered porch and one of many stunning views. A central gathering place for friends and loved ones, the kitchen is warmed by a fireplace with pizza oven. In the summer, a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and doors opens to fragrant gardens, thyme- and lavender-laced stone terraces, the uninterrupted panorama, and matchless sunsets. Upstairs, the primary suite features vaulted ceiling, large windows, and spacious accommodations for luxurious comfort and self-care, including steam shower and a soaking tub that has its very own view. On the bottom floor, a remarkable two thousand bottle wine cellar and tasting room offers something special for oenophiles and casual wine enthusiasts alike. Also on that level is built-in cedar storage, a full laundry, and a staff bedroom. A long, private drive leads through the natural habitat to every outdoor spot on the estate that has been designed for restful ease, comfort, and beauty. Discreetly set apart from the residence, outbuildings include a caretaker’s home, a two-bedroom guest suite, heated greenhouse, four-stall equipment garage, full shop, office, chicken house, and run-in shed. There is ample room on the property for livestock or a stick and ball polo field. Surrounding the house, the columned porch allows for seating in sun or shade, and panoramic views for watching a storm approach, an eagle cavort, or the sun lower in the painted sky.
