Introducing Church House in Germantown, a private 60-acre oasis. A winding drive through forest reveals a refined modern architectural vision: a complex of wood-clad structures sited along a gentle ridge line with Catskills views. The buildings, nested in vegetable and flower gardens, include a main house, guest studio, artist studio/gardening workshop, entertaining pergola and barn/garage, all oriented west across extensive lawns, laid-stone walls, meadows and mature trees. Since 2018, the owners creatively transformed this once-rough hunting property into a secluded sanctuary with a diverse native habitat, including walking trails and a 1/2 acre swim pond with dock and gazebo. The result is an intentional integration of distinct indoor and outdoor rooms, attuned to the environment. The 2000 sq ft primary residence, with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, emphasizes function and simple luxury, maximizing both communal space and storage. Two central living spaces - both with polished concrete floors and Marvin doors & windows - invite gathering and separated bedrooms give independence and privacy. Playful details include custom Baltic birch paneling and built-ins, handmade bathroom tile and vintage and custom hardware & lighting. Both the chef's kitchen (with banquette dining) and the living room-library have floor to ceiling windows that access a courtyard framed by a rock formation studded with succulents. Additional features include radiant floors, energy efficient mini-splits, a large exterior shower and a fire-pit ledge. Wander past a wildflower meadow and hammocks and find the guest studio, a charming artistic retreat. The pergola and seating / grill areas, surrounded by lush hydrangea beds, can host large dinners. The workshop/potting shed offers both storage, studio space and entertaining amenities. Conceived to accommodate future expansion, the current septic is large enough to support a 5-bedroom home, allowing for an addition or separate structure, supported by the supplementary 200 amp service to the pole barn/ev charger. Privately sited and yet centrally located in the heart of the Hudson Valley between Rhinebeck and Hudson, minutes from Germantown and Tivoli, with special restaurants, shops and culture just outside your door. Truly a unique and personal estate.
