Description
Wildflower Hill is a rare and distinctive country retreat set behind a gated entrance on nearly six private acres in the gently rolling countryside of Southern Columbia County. Tucked behind mature trees and open lawns in the heart of Ancram, this four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence offers over 3,900 square feet of well-proportioned living space, where reclaimed wood beams, abundant natural light, a striking stone fireplace, and artful architectural details create a home of warmth, character, and timeless style. Designed for relaxed daily living, weekend entertaining, and four-season enjoyment, the interiors unfold through generous living and dining spaces with an easy connection to the outdoors. A large deck overlooks the grounds and extends the home beautifully for summer dinners, visiting guests, and quiet mornings in the country. Recent improvements include a brand-new boiler and brand-new septic system, offering immediate comfort, efficiency, and long-term peace of mind. Outside, the setting is both serene and full of charm. A koi pond, fruit trees, rolling lawns, fenced garden, and light-filled potting shed create a property that feels established, private, and deeply connected to the land. The acreage is beautiful and usable, with room to garden, entertain, explore, or simply enjoy the quiet rhythm of the seasons. Wildflower Hill balances privacy with exceptional access to the region’s most beloved destinations. A short walk leads to the Ancram Little Store for coffee, breakfast, lunch, local cheeses, dairy, teas, and seasonal provisions. Farmers Wife is approximately six minutes away, Hillrock Estate Distillery is approximately nine minutes away, and Stissing House is about thirteen minutes away for celebrated farm-to-table dining. Millerton is roughly fifteen minutes away for restaurants, shopping, The Moviehouse, and Oblong Books, while Mashomack Polo Club, Catamount Mountain Resort, Hudson, Hillsdale, and the Berkshires are all within easy reach. New York City is approximately two hours away. Equally suited as a full-time residence, refined weekend retreat, or year-round lifestyle investment, Wildflower Hill captures the enduring appeal of Hudson Valley living with privacy, character, and a setting worth discovering.
