Introducing the Pond Ridge Compound, a Mid-Century gem on 18 private and idyllic acres with sweeping lawns and mountain views. The property features a pool, swimming pond, guest cottage, 2-stall barn and an oversized two-story heated garage. Built in 1955, the house maintains all of its original charm and mid-century aesthetic, yet updated with modern amenities like a large, over-producing solar array, mini-split AC and new pool liner and mechanicals.
A winding 800’ long tree-lined driveway leads you uphill to total seclusion, yet the property sits only 6 minutes from Millbrook Village. A circular driveway takes you past the 4-car garage/workshop to the main house. Enter the MCM time-capsule with beautifully preserved bluestone flooring and massive stone chimney. Turn the corner to find a stunning great room with vaulted cedar ceilings and an entire wall of windows, overlooking the scenic pool with multiple outdoor seating and dining areas, accessed by large glass French doors. The great room provides comfortable living and dining space, anchored by a large wood-burning fireplace. The dining room flows nicely into the charming kitchen, complete with double electric ovens, electric cooktop and vintage built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator. A dutch door leads outside to the garden. Down the hall you find 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and a large office space. The bedrooms are ample in scale, with large windows to take in the views and abundant natural light. The flooring is a mixture of hardwood oak and terracotta tiles. A large basement with retro wood-paneled walls, wet bar and billiards table completes the main house.
Outside, walk past the pool, down the sweeping lawn to find the charming guest cottage and fenced in raised-bed garden. The cottage features vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning stove, bedroom, full kitchen and full bathroom with sliding doors out to a picnic table. Great for weekend guests, family overflow or for short term rental income. Continue your journey past wildflower meadows, down the path to the natural spring-fed pond, perfect for swimming or fishing.
The property is well situated 6 minutes from Millbrook village and under 2 hours from NYC. The house is in the Millbrook school district and Union Vale municipality. DO NOT USE GOOGLE MAPS as it takes you off of route 82 to the wrong address. Stay on Route 82 until you see the large "Pond Ridge" sign, which sits at the base of the driveway.
