41 and 43 Meeting House Road, Pawling, NY 12564

Rare 5-Acre Quaker Hill Estate with Guest Cottage: Discover the ultimate sanctuary at the crest of Quaker Hill, where 43 Meeting House Road stands as a testament to refined country living. Situated on a lush 5-acre parcel and set well back from a scenic country road, this estate offers a rare degree of privacy and tranquility, surrounded by sweeping meadows, historic horse farms and prestigious neighboring estates. Originally a log home, the property has been masterly reimagined for the luxury buyer into an elegant, warmly welcoming residence where fine architectural details and high-end finishes are evident at every turn. The main residence is a study in sophisticated design, anchored by wide-plank oak flooring that flows through the living room, sunroom and commanding library-style study. At the heart of the home, a modern chef’s kitchen with radient heated floors, and a generous central island that serve as the perfect stage for both grand entertaining and quiet dinners. A striking steel-clad stairwell leads to the upper level, where the primary suite serves as a private retreat with soaring 18-ft ceilings, skylights, and a Juliet balcony that overlooks a picturesque landscape of mature plantings and rolling hills. Two additional bedrooms with full baths and a large dressing room, a possible fourth bedroom, complete this level. The lifestyle extends seamlessly outdoors, where a wraparound deck overlooks a serene, spring-fed pond. For summer entertaining, a separate deck surrounds a tranquil pool area, fully equipped with a bar, cabana and bathroom. Beyond its aesthetic beauty, the home is engineered for effortless living with a heated 2-car garage, whole-house generator, central vacuum, and integrated security and Sonos systems. Complementing the main house is a charming totally separate two-bedroom guest cottage built in 1920. Fully renovated with its own full kitchen, wood burning fireplace, full bath and lofted living space, utilities, and septic system, it offers a private haven for visitors, a dedicated professional workspace or caretaker's residence. The house has state of the art wi-fi, heating and cooling systems, and an Aprilaire full-house dehumidifier that is integrated with the HVAC system. Heat coils on the gutters and parts of the roof protect the home from ice-dams. Every detail has been attended to that makes this home a true treasure. Located just minutes from the historic Village of Pawling, and under 90 minutes to Manhattan via Metro-North, this property represents the pinnacle of the Quaker Hill lifestyle—a perfect weekend retreat or a permanent paradise.
