45 Rock Ridge, Chester, NY 10918

Just over an hour from NYC an idyllic estate on 13.9 breathtaking private acres awaits. This one-of-a-kind property offers views of Sugarloaf mountain, a gorgeous pond, heated in ground pool, outbuildings, rolling hills and custom stone-work. The home is perfectly sited at the end of a long winding driveway off a private road with views of the mountain, pond, patios, surrounding gardens, woods and wildlife. The 3235-sf colonial home was built in the 1870’s and has been thoughtfully expanded and updated over the years without losing any of its original charm and detail. Stepping out of the car you’ll notice the stunning classic colonial with detached two car garage, gorgeous stonework, and thoughtful landscaping. Upon entering, the warmth and beauty of the original details like leaded glass, period moldings, gorgeous hardwood floors and elegant fireplaces make you feel welcome and cozy. The expansive house has a large primary suite on the first floor with access to the pool, vaulted ceilings, oversize windows with window seat, Master Bath, Walk-in Closet and Chestnut floors. There’s a grand family room with oversized fireplace, soaring ceiling, beautiful oak woodwork and beams repurposed from a local mansion and plenty of windows and doors inviting the outdoors in. A smaller sitting room/library has a beautiful fireplace and original cabinetry featuring leaded glass doors updated to include a wine cooler. The dining room too has a fireplace which has been updated to convenient gas. The custom eat-in kitchen has granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and an eating nook overlooking the pond. Also on the first floor is a home office, large laundry room and full bath. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms which both enjoy lovely views of the property, plenty of storage and a full bath. The house has newer Lenox forced Air Heat & Central Air, security system and a generator. With all the house has to offer, it may come as a surprise that the property is the star of the show...the in-ground heated pool has a lovely pool house and a pump that is less than 5 years old. Next to the pool...a Bocce Court! Several gorgeous patios surround the home and are perfect for formal or informal gatherings, large or small. The heated billiards house on top of the hill offers a fun spot to escape. There are plenty of places to wander in all four seasons and watch the varied wildlife that come to visit. Only 49 Miles to the GWB. Just a few miles to Village of Warwick-Wineries, Breweries, Apple & Pumpkin Picking, Mt Peter Ski & Woodbury Commons Outlets. This is a very special property you need to see to believe.
