About this property

"Pondside" takes its name from the view that defines it: a broad, beautiful pond framed by open meadow and visible through a wall of sliding glass doors. Set on 4.06 peaceful acres near the end of a private road in Red Hook, this modern country retreat is a place to watch the light move across the water, birds settle into the meadow, and a resident blue heron make its rounds. Koi and carp inhabit the pond, and nature is always just outside the glass.Built in 2021, the thoughtfully designed 1,152-square-foot, 2-bedroom, 2-bath home makes the most of its setting. An open floor plan keeps the focus on the outdoors, with the living, dining, and kitchen areas flowing together against the backdrop of pond and meadow views. The kitchen features granite countertops and an induction range, while concrete floors with radiant in-floor heat lend a clean, understated simplicity throughout.The primary bath offers its own connection to the landscape, with a soaking tub positioned to take in views across the meadow-a particularly lovely place to end the day.Designed for comfort and efficiency, the home features a solar thermal heating system with propane backup, radiant in-floor heat, central air conditioning, a tankless hot water heater, and a durable rubber roof."Pondside"feels made for weekends, long summers, and spontaneous escapes to the country: easy to maintain, comfortable in every season, and surrounded by enough beauty to make staying home feel like the plan. Yet Red Hook village, Bard College, and the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge are all close by.A simple, beautifully considered Hudson Valley retreat where the peace and serenity of pond, meadow, and changing seasons take center stage.
