Set among majestic trees with the gentle sound of a creek below, Turkey Hill is a warm and tranquil country home where soaring ceilings, exposed beams and log home character create an inviting sense of place.
A large covered front porch sets the tone. It is the kind of spot made for slow mornings with coffee, long summer evenings and rocking chairs, with birdsong in the trees and the creek in the distance. Inside, cathedral ceilings give the main living space a striking sense of volume, while exposed wood beams throughout the home bring warmth and character from room to room. At the heart of the living room, a wood-burning fireplace with a dramatic stone surround creates a natural gathering place, while a propane stove offers another cozy source of warmth.
The kitchen pairs the home’s rustic character with a clean, updated feel, including new quartz countertops and direct access to a side deck leading to the fenced backyard and garden. Off the living room, a light-filled sunroom is currently used as a home office and reading nook, with windows framing views of the surrounding landscape and creek. The sunroom also connects directly to the primary suite, creating an easy flow between the spaces.
The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and its own private full bathroom, all within a warm, wood-clad space with a high, open ceiling. Upstairs, two equally sized bedrooms share a second full bathroom. Between them, a generous open landing overlooks the living room and fireplace below, further enhancing the home’s open and airy feel.
The landscape is just as much a part of Turkey Hill as the house itself. Gardens, old stone walls and a lush meadow give the property the feeling of a country home that has settled naturally into its surroundings. A short trail winds through the meadow to the creek, creating a serene destination of its own just beyond the house. The fenced backyard provides a defined space for gardening, pets and play while still feeling connected to the larger landscape.
A full, unfinished walkout basement provides generous room for a workshop, storage and hobbies. The heated detached two-car garage offers even more flexibility, with abundant additional space in the upper attic level, and a new whole-house generator provides added peace of mind.
For all its privacy and sense of seclusion, Turkey Hill is remarkably connected. The Taconic State Parkway is just minutes away, putting New York City under two hours from home, while Red Hook, Rhinebeck and Tivoli are all within 10-20 minutes. Together, these beloved Hudson Valley towns offer some of the area’s best restaurants, cafes, shops and markets, making Turkey Hill a desirable country retreat with the best of the region close at hand.
