Experience the best of New England’s fall season—and every season that follows—from this charming wood-shingled Cape tucked away on a quiet gravel road at the base of Harvey Mountain, the highest point in the county. Surrounded by more than 4,000 acres of state forest, this is a rare opportunity to live where outdoor recreation begins right at your driveway, with access to approximately 30 miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, hunting, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and exploring.
Set on two private acres, the three-bedroom home offers a warm and comfortable retreat after a day outdoors. The updated kitchen opens naturally into the dining room. The spacious living room includes a brick fireplace, built-in shelving and French doors leading to a bright, heated four-season sunroom with vaulted ceiling and expansive windows overlooking the property. From the sunroom, glass doors open to a small porch and the backyard.
Outside, enjoy crisp fall evenings around the firepit, gather on the stone patio, or rinse off after an adventure in the unique outdoor shower created from a converted clawfoot tub. The setting offers an ideal combination of privacy, recreation and easy access to the surrounding Berkshires and Hudson Valley.
Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bath. The generous primary bedroom has double closets, while additional finished space adjoining another bedroom provides flexibility for an office, studio, playroom or creative space.
The finished basement adds even more living and recreation space, including a cozy den, exercise area, laundry with utility sink and separate storage room. A two-car garage opens directly into the kitchen, with a convenient first-floor half bath. EV and RV chargers add modern convenience.
With hunting, fishing, hiking and outdoor recreation literally outside your door, the location is hard to duplicate. Beebe and Harvey Mountain State Forests provide thousands of acres to explore, while nearby ski areas, Tanglewood, Berkshire cultural attractions and the restaurants, shops and movie theater of Chatham are all within easy reach. Hudson and Amtrak are also a short drive away.
Come experience the magic of fall in the Berkshires—when the forests turn brilliant, the trails are calling, and this home becomes the perfect four-season basecamp for everything the region has to offer.
Welcome to Chicory Hill House, a unique designer home set at the end of a long private driveway on 20 beautiful acres located in Columbia County, prime Hudson Valley. The property features pastoral views, a year-round creek, and a small waterfall woven into the landscape.
Following an extensive high-end renovation and infrastructure overhaul, the original 1985 contemporary has been transformed with remarkable artistry, craftsmanship, and thoughtfully integrated modern systems. Triple-paned Austrian-engineered windows and sliding doors flood the interiors with natural light while providing outstanding insulation and quiet, and looking out onto your own private field.
Major upgrades include new James Hardie concrete siding, a new roof, updated electrical and plumbing systems, new water pump infrastructure, all new split-unit heating and cooling systems, and solar panels, creating a home that is both highly energy efficient and deeply considered.
The main living spaces blend warmth, texture, and refined modern design. Wide plank white oak flooring runs throughout the upper levels, while the living room centers around a dramatic floor-to-ceiling fluted marble wood-burning fireplace. The adjacent dining area includes a built-in entertaining station with an ice maker and wine fridge, ideal for hosting gatherings large and small. Walls of glass open directly onto a generous new cedar deck designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Complete with a hot tub, outdoor shower, grilling area, and sunny lounging spaces, the private deck overlooks rolling pastoral fields, creating a private outdoor setting equally suited for entertaining, quiet mornings, or evenings spent soaking under the stars.
The kitchen pairs clean contemporary lines with stone countertops, custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, handcrafted emerald green Zellige tile, and Fisher & Paykel appliances. Bathrooms continue the same elevated approach, featuring marble finishes, Zellige tilework, and spa-like details including heated floors and a heated towel rack. The primary en suite bedroom is a true retreat, complete with a lofted living space overlooking the main open floor plan living area, a double walk-in closet, and tranquil woodland outlooks.
The walk-out on grade lower level offers substantial additional living space ready for customization, with architectural plans available for future completion. Anchored by a wood-burning stove, the space could easily accommodate additional bedrooms alongside media, guest, spa, or studio space.
Outside, mature trees and wooded landscape, and the year-round creek create a peaceful and immersive setting. A garage with space for three vehicles adds practicality to the property’s thoughtful design. Only five minutes from the village of Chatham, the property offers rare privacy and natural beauty without sacrificing access to the region’s most beloved towns, restaurants, and cultural destinations.

Custom millwork, natural stone and wood surfaces, bespoke plaster treatments, and designer-chosen paint colors all speak to exceptional quality. The gracious, flowing layout offers plenty of room for gathering, and bedrooms tucked into separate wings create privacy and practicality. This is a home built as much for weekend entertaining as it is for quiet days spent resting and recharging.
On the first floor, a renovated chef’s kitchen with stone countertops, custom cabinetry, multiple prep areas, and an island breakfast bar make it a true country kitchen, with plenty of room for gatherings and holidays.
