411 Texas Hill Road is an exemplary portrait of a Mid-Century home, set on 40 private acres. The home is positioned on one of the highest points in Columbia County, with views of both the Taconic and the Helderberg ranges. Located just 20 minutes from Hudson and surrounded by all the wonderful amenities of the Hudson Valley. Set on a quiet one-lane, town-maintained road, this private sanctuary is approached by a long driveway which opens up to reveal stunning arboretum quality landscaped grounds that have been cultivated over the course of 20 plus years of ownership. Native and exotic trees, shrubs, rock outcroppings, a swimming pond, wooded walking trails, fire pits, and stone patios are but a few of the special landscape features. The 5 acres immediately surrounding the home have been completely fenced up to 8' to ensure plants thrive and pets stay safe.
Boasting over 4,000SF of finished space, the property includes 4 beds / 4 baths. Expanding across 3 structures, the main house includes with 3 beds / 3 baths, with a 1 bed / 1 bath guest suite and a 2 car garage all connected by covered walkways interlaced with thoughtfully planted gardens. In 2016, the home was completely modernized with central air, and radiant heated floors throughout. In the main house, the living room, dining room, and kitchen form one large continuous space with a substantial stone fireplace positioned at the center. Original floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors line the room, connecting it directly to the surrounding landscape and expansive views on all sides.
The living room features a warm wood clad vaulted ceiling, walnut hardwood floors, and custom built-ins. The kitchen retains its original character with clean cabinetry, stainless-steel counters, and statement pendant lighting. Just off the kitchen you will find a separate mudroom and laundry area. Down the central hallway is the large primary bedroom with an ensuite bath with separate shower and soaking tub. The room is fitted with large sliding glass doors that open onto a private patio. The two other bedrooms, one with an ensuite bath and another with a bathroom across the hall, are generously sized and feel both connected with the home and the surrounding landscape. A covered walkway leads from the main house to the attached guest suite, which includes its own living room, kitchen, and a full bathroom, making it ideal for guests, giving a feeling of independence and privacy while still being connected to the heart of the home.
A separate building is home to an artist's studio which includes a sauna and built-in bookshelves and a window seat overlooking the gardens and distant views. Additionally there is a large craftsman-style barn that was constructed by a local artisan, offering additional workspace or storage. Meandering gardens with inlaid stonework and sculptures, a front gate designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, along with expertly selected period lighting throughout the house are all included in the sale of this spectacular home. Just minutes off the Taconic Parkway and close to Hawthorn Valley School, Klocke Estate and the cultural destination of Hudson, this is a singular opportunity to reside in a true work of art in the heart of Hillsdale -- the most scenic and pristine town in Columbia County.
