Set amid a picturesque landscape of rolling fields and mature evergreen and deciduous trees, this extraordinary 9-acre property offers a rare blend of historic character, modern comfort, and turnkey ease. Centered around a circa 1885 barn that has been thoughtfully expanded and reimagined, the home honors its heritage while embracing the comforts of contemporary living. A welcoming covered front porch invites quiet mornings with coffee, leisurely afternoons, and evenings spent taking in peaceful pastoral views, vibrant sunsets, and the ever-changing beauty of the surrounding landscape. Inside, the approximately 2,900-square-foot residence is presented in pristine condition, where warm architectural details, generous proportions, and an open, inviting floor plan create spaces equally suited for everyday living and entertaining. The dramatic vaulted great room is the heart of the home, showcasing exposed beams, skylights, and a floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace. Open sightlines extend into a den or home office, enhancing the home's airy and connected feel. The beautifully appointed kitchen combines timeless style with everyday functionality, featuring custom wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, peninsula seating, an informal dining area, and a spacious walk-in pantry. A well-designed powder room with integrated laundry adds convenience. The main level offers two spacious bedrooms and a beautifully finished full bath with a double vanity and oversized glass-and-tile shower. Privately situated upstairs, the primary suite is a peaceful retreat with vaulted beamed ceilings, a generous walk-in closet with dressing area, and a beautifully appointed bath with elegant tile and glass finishes. Outside, the open acreage provides endless opportunities for recreation, gardens, pets, walking trails, or the addition of a pool or sport court. A whole-house standby generator offers year-round peace of mind. Rich in history yet effortlessly livable, this exceptional property captures the romance of a converted 19th-century barn with the comfort and efficiency of modern construction. Peacefully set in the heart of Southern Dutchess County, just minutes from the Village of Pawling and approximately 1 1/2 hours from New York City, it is a rare opportunity to enjoy refined country living in a truly move-in-ready setting.
