No Agents (please do not contact me if you're an agent) Secluded 4BR/3BA Nature Retreat on 7.5 Acres with Studio Spaces, Waterfall, Historic Stonework, and Garden Infrastructure – One Hour from NYC Set on 7.5 private acres in historic Furnace Woods, this distinctive wood-and-stone ranch offers architectural character, creative flexibility, and deep immersion in nature—all just one hour from Manhattan and seven minutes from the Metro-North station. The home includes four bedrooms and three bathrooms, with a layout that balances communal gathering spaces and quiet, flexible-use rooms. At its core is a room encased in original stone walls—the preserved heart of the original farmhouse—anchored by a large, fully functioning fireplace and accessible from four directions. A long stone-walled hallway, once an open-air balcony, now serves as a dramatic interior feature that stretches along the front of the house. The main living area flows into a dining room and opens to sweeping views of the front acreage through a wide picture window, offering a dynamic and ever-changing connection to the outdoors. At the back of the house, a small, wood-paneled room with a wood-burning stove and wraparound windows provides a cozy retreat ideal for yoga, meditation, or quiet reading, with views into the backyard and landscaped rock garden. A separate corner room, lined with tall windows on two sides, is perfectly suited as an art or music studio. Additional features include two offices, a walk-out basement, a large attic for storage, and a fourth bedroom with direct outdoor access to the backyard. The outdoor environment is both serene and fully cultivated. Three irrigated garden zones include built-in raised beds—one with a large pollinator garden, another with a mature butterfly bush, and all with heavy-duty cattle panel trellises strong enough to support large vining crops. A landscaped tree and rock garden surrounds the home, and a covered outdoor deck serves as a gathering or performance space. A built-in stone grill, chiminea, and flagstone hardscaping complete the outdoor setting. In addition to direct access to wooded trails bordered by ancient stone walls and the State Trailway system, the property also connects to a network of quiet back roads—ideal for long, peaceful walks through nearby neighborhoods. Across the quiet road, residents enjoy access to a public pool, tennis and basketball courts, snack bar, and a forest fitness trail with exercise stations integrated along the loop. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that seamlessly blends privacy, functionality, and beauty—perfect for anyone seeking a meaningful connection to land and lifestyle without leaving reach of the city.
