180 Dean Rd, Stormville, NY 12582

Description

One hour from New York City, 180 Dean Road is one of the Hudson Valley's most private gated luxury estates—70 acres completely surrounded by more than 1,000 acres of protected New York State Forest, encompassing its own lake, miles of private hiking trails, and extraordinary natural beauty. Behind a private gated entrance, this extraordinary estate unfolds. The land itself reflects generations of thoughtful stewardship. Sweeping lawns give way to English cutting and vegetable gardens, and historic stone walls trace the contours of the land, creating a landscape that feels both timeless and deeply connected to the Hudson Valley. Nearly three miles of 80-year old heritage-groomed hiking trails wind through the property, crossing three spring-fed streams before arriving at a spectacular private lake that enjoys all-day southern sunlight. Every season here is an invitation, whether it be late summer evenings spent fireside, autumn hikes beneath vibrant foliage, skating in winter and the arrival of spring wildflowers. At the heart of the estate, the cedar-and-stone lodge blends rustic heritage with refined comfort. Originally built as a 1950s cabin, the expanded residence centers around a beamed great room anchored by its original wood-burning stone fireplace. Bluestone and hardwood floors, luxury finishes, and expansive windows celebrate the surrounding landscape. The primary suite is a private retreat overlooking the lake and streams, complete with a gas fireplace, sitting area, spa-caliber bath, radiant heated bluestone floors, soaking tub, dual rain-head showers, twin vanities and generous double dressing room and closets. The lower level boasts a guest bedroom with its own fireplace, full bath, and a private stone patio edged by the sound of running water. An upper-level office surrounded by windows provides an inspiring work-from-home setting. For effortless indoor-outdoor living, the chef's kitchen opens through French doors to an expansive deck with a screened gazebo a stone fire pit and sweeping views across the estate. Additional amenities include an attached garage, dedicated dog spa, and whole-house generator.
Perched near the peak of the property a 4,100-square-foot conditioned barn boasts insulated glass overhead doors, a gym, and a workshop. For those with vision, the foundation for the next chapter is already in place. County-approved plans for an additional four-bedroom septic system await, clearing a major hurdle for a residence above the lake – an opportunity to create an even more remarkable Hudson Valley compound.
