New York, Dutchess County, Rhinebeck, USA

Welcome to 1000 Oaks, a quintessential Rhinebeck country home! This property, nestled on 6.8 acres of land, consists of a 3200+ sq. ft. main house, an 800 sq. ft. recording studio, and a heated gunite pool. It also offers a lovely seasonal mountain view. Step into the evolution of 1000 Oaks. From its humble beginnings as a little hunting cabin in the woods, it was transformed into a cozy home of its own by a well-known local contractor, showcasing exceptional building quality. By 2008, the current owner reimagined the entire property, elevating it to a unique contemporary home while emulating its original building quality and adding artistic touches. Like many a great home that embodies a living philosophy, 1000 Oaks embraces and reflects Wabi Sabi, a time-honored Japanese philosophy. It means accepting imperfection as part of life, following the lead of the natural surroundings, and finding beauty in humility and simplicity. Natural landscaping is preserved, wildflowers are welcome and cultivated, wood, field stones, and bricks are widely utilized, and low-contrast earthy colors are applied inside and outside. The goal is not to reach perfection, but to curate harmony: living here is to be in touch with nature and in tune with ourselves. Here are a few highlights: the family room has an attached full bath. It can host visiting guests; the tower's second floor is an office with two workspaces; the third floor is used as an additional activity space where you can survey the property through the walls of windows. The fully functional music studio is a musician's dream and provides a multitude of potentials; the pool is a delight of summer. A new pump and new heater are standing by and will be conveyed. Each year, from November to late April, you can watch the sun setting behind the indigo Catskill Mountains. In the summertime, after the leaves grow in, the property feels secluded and very tranquil. Yet, it is only 6 miles from the center of Rhinebeck Village, six miles from the Taconic Parkway, and a stone's throw from the Rhinebeck Performing Art Center. No matter what brings you to Rhinebeck/Hudson Valley—to find a weekend getaway, make it your full-time escape, or start a new chapter in life—we invite you to experience 1000 Oaks. Most likely, you will enjoy its natural beauty. Perhaps you will find its earthy presence peaceful and relaxing, or its warm ''refined rustic'' aesthetics speak to you. It could strike a chord with you, and home is where your heart is.
