Perched high on a quiet mountainside in one of Hillsdale's most coveted locations, Willow Pond is a modern farmhouse sanctuary blending timeless Hudson Valley romance with the ease of updated, contemporary living. Accessed via a private road and tucked discreetly into the hillside, this calming and zen-like retreat offers complete privacy—just minutes from the center of town. Reminiscent of the landscapes that moved the Hudson River School painters, the far-reaching views of the Berkshire Mountains are nothing short of breathtaking—framed perfectly by mahogany porches that wrap the home in warmth.
The interiors have been thoughtfully renovated with a sun-filled great room combining a sleek, open kitchen, dining space for up to 18, and a cozy family area all ideal for entertaining. A six-burner gas cooktop, double ovens, and a separate butler's pantry with wine fridge and ice maker complete the culinary experience. The formal living room, centered around a gas fireplace, offers a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere. There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a primary suite with a spa-like ensuite bath with steam shower. The full-height attic offers a full floor of expansion potential, while the lower level adds an additional 1,250 sq ft of living space, currently configured as a home office and gym, with flexibility for a media or recreation room. A large screened-in porch enhances indoor-outdoor living and overlooks lush grounds with a heated 35-foot pool and spa, pool cabana, and stone fire pit, all neatly fenced in. The grounds also include an outdoor shower and a cedar-sided 550 sq ft barn currently used as a workshop and garden shed, easily convertible to a studio, gym, or guest cottage.
The property is as enchanting as the home itself—lush, meandering, and beautifully landscaped with irrigated gardens, mature trees, open meadows, and a walking path leading to a tranquil pond crowned by a graceful weeping willow tree. Additional features include a full-house generator, whole-house security system, and an advanced water filtration system.
Willow Pond is the marriage of smart design, natural beauty, and today's functionality. Every detail supports a tranquil and comfortable lifestyle in the heart of Columbia County.
