THE ROOST Located in Millbrook proper, The Roost is uniquely sited on a beautiful private 2.5 acre pond. This ~4,200 square foot cedar-shake roofed classic Greek revival farmhouse dates back to the early 1800’s and was tastefully added to over the ensuing two centuries with a new wing added in conjunction with a complete renovation in 2004 (full external renovation in 2015). The first floor of the Roost boasts beautiful super-wide board floors hand-milled from walnut and pine trees off the property. Facing north, the house opens onto a stone patio, which spills into a large sunken formal English raised-bed garden made of shale fieldstone from the property; this all against the backdrop of a huge stream and spring-fed pond. Miles of riding trails lead to spectacular destinations such as waterfalls, hidden meadows, orchards, ravines, ponds and an enormous glacial boulder deposited on a ridge overlooking the Hudson Valley. Notably, there are NO land conservancy or other highly restrictive easements on the property that would otherwise impair its value or use. With its extraordinary amount of road frontage, there are opportunities to subdivide. The house sits on Woodstock Road, deeded “An Historic Road”, meaning the Town will pay for all maintenance in keeping it a functional dirt road. The property’s southern neighbor is the Institute for Ecosystem Studies, a 2,000+ acre not-for-profit who’s regular security patrols end right at The Roost. The house is centrally located with the NY State Troopers two miles away and the Village of Millbrook, Tamarack Preserve, Mashomack Polo, The Millbrook Hunt, The Millbrook Vineyard, Silo Ridge and many other destinations within a 15 minute drive.
