1492 County Route 7a, Copake, NY 12516 (MLS # 20264930)

Set on 3.28 acres amid the open farmland of Copake, this inviting 1960s farmhouse has the relaxed character of a country house that immediately makes you feel at home. A generous covered porch stretches across the front of the house, overlooking its own open field and the agricultural landscape beyond. Inside, wide-plank pine floors, abundant windows, and natural wood details give the house its easy country character. The living room is centered around a wood-burning stove, with built-in bookshelves and cabinetry adding both charm and function. The adjoining kitchen is bright and thoughtfully laid out, with generous workspace and views onto the surrounding greenery. From there, the house opens into an inviting dining room with wraparound windows that bring the landscape into the room, while doors lead directly outside to an outdoor dining area. Two generously sized bedrooms and a full bath are located on the first floor. Upstairs, the primary bedroom sits beneath vaulted, pine-clad ceilings and includes an en-suite bath and spacious walk-in closet. A large additional room on this level offers plenty of flexibility for a library, studio, office, den, or guest space. Outside, the property unfolds from lawn and established plantings into an open field, with room to garden, play, gather with friends, or simply enjoy the landscape. The front porch is an especially lovely perch for taking it all in, while a rear deck offers a more tucked-away place outdoors. A two-car garage, basement, laundry area, and additional storage round out the property. The location puts some of the best of Columbia County and the Berkshires within easy reach. Copake and Hillsdale are close at hand, with Egremont and Great Barrington just across the Massachusetts border. Catamount, nearby lakes and hiking trails, farm stands, and local markets offer plenty to explore throughout the year, with Hudson an easy drive to the west. Unfussy, comfortable, and surrounded by farmland, this is a house that captures much of what makes this corner of the Hudson Valley so appealing. It offers space to spread out, a close connection to the landscape, and the pleasures of country life.
