78 Waldorf Ridge Road, Copake, NY 12516

A striking, newly built modern home set on 34+ natural acres, secluded from sight. This special property welcomes stunning views of the Taconic mountain range and is set along the bank of the Roe Jan Kill. Three bedrooms, all with ensuite baths, a guest powder room, custom kitchen with natural wood cabinetry, TV room/den, and a double height great room with wood burning fireplace. The crown of the contemporary design is a 16 foot wide fully retractable glass wall in the living room that brings the outside in. It frames the landscape as a painting on the wall. The full basement has tall ceilings and is perfectly suited for a home gym, media room, or additional living space of the buyer's choosing. The equally distinct 2-car garage is separate from the house and designed with room for a guest suite (the septic allows for a 4th bedroom), office or studio to be built above.The cedar siding is treated in the 18th century Japanese Shou Sugi Ban method, a particularly striking way of preserving and waterproofing the wood by burning it until the surface is charred, and then coated with natural oil. The result is a scorched finish with a magnificent lasting charcoal black color.Simple and elegant. The home is perfectly situated equal distance between Hudson NY and Great Barrington, MA.
