"LE CHÂTEAU des VERTS" – A slice of the French countryside, perfectly perched in the Hudson Valley.
Inspired by the rolling hills of Provence and meticulously crafted with timeless elegance, this one-of-a-kind home is known to its neighborhood residents as "The Castle on the Hill." It's more than a house; it's a tranquil retreat for those seeking an escape from the city, without sacrificing style or convenience.
Nestled on over an acre of serene, maturely landscaped grounds, Le Château des Verts offers a true sanctuary just 30 miles north of Manhattan. The design immediately captivates you as you arrive, with a grand two-story turret and custom arched windows accented by slate-blue shutters—a nod to the classic beauty of French architecture.
Step through the double front doors into an inviting foyer. The radiant floors guide you through the sprawling first-floor living area, where natural light pours in from every window, creating a warm, airy atmosphere. To the left, the formal dining room is perfectly positioned for memorable gatherings, with east-facing windows that capture the beauty of the Hudson Valley sunrise.
The heart of the home is the French-Country eat-in-kitchen. Here, custom cabinetry and woodwork, along with pull-out spice drawers on either side of the five-burner stove, blend practicality with elegance. The turret space provides the ideal nook for a circular breakfast table, while the center island offers additional seating and prep space.
For unwinding or entertaining, the home features two elegant living rooms, each with its own fireplace. Walls of French glass doors illuminate these spaces, offering seamless views and access to your backyard oasis, complete with a heated, in-ground saltwater pool. This is where you'll find yourself on summer afternoons, soaking in the sun and enjoying a peaceful moment.
The North Wing of the home, or the "Owner's Wing," is a private escape. A nearby second bedroom, ideal for a nursery or home office, features its own set of French glass doors leading to the garden. The Owner's suite is a haven of relaxation, with high ceilings and another set of French doors that amplify the natural light. It leads to an ensuite bathroom with dual vanities, a luxurious jacuzzi tub, and a custom shower. A walk-in closet with built-ins completes this wing.
Continuing to the west wing of the home, a half-bathroom, laundry room, and a spacious bonus room offer flexibility—perfect for a billiards room, library, or secluded living area.
Upstairs, two generous guest bedrooms share a full bathroom, ensuring comfort and privacy for visitors. An unfinished space also leaves room for additional quarters. The walkout lower level provides a versatile living space with a full bath. A large room, currently used as a walk-in closet, has endless potential for a jaw-dropping hobby space—from a private wine cellar to a state-of-the-art recreation room with a golf simulator. A full gym and an attached three-car garage complete this incredible home.
This is more than a property; it's a lifestyle you've been dreaming of.
