About This Home

Thoughtfully designed with Passive House principles in mind, this beautifully crafted 2023 home proves that sustainability and great design can go hand in hand. Set on five peaceful acres in the rolling hills between Ancram and Copake, this two-bedroom, one-bath retreat was built for exceptional energy efficiency, lasting quality, and a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. The open-concept living space is flooded with natural light thanks to a dramatic wall of Andersen and Marvin high-efficiency windows and oversized sliding glass doors that blur the line between indoors and out. Warm pine siding and a spacious deck complement the home's clean architectural lines, while the carefully designed airtight building envelope, continuous insulation, and high-performance construction provide year-round comfort with remarkably low energy consumption. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a low-maintenance weekend escape, this home offers a rare combination of modern simplicity, thoughtful craftsmanship, and the peace of knowing it was built to stand the test of time. Perfectly positioned to enjoy some of the Hudson Valley and Berkshires' most beloved destinations, you're just minutes from the Harlem Valley Rail Trail for biking and walking, scenic hikes at Taconic State Park, Bash Bish Falls, and Mount Washington State Forest, and only 15 minutes from the iconic Stissing House. Nearby you'll also find local favorites like The Greens at Copake Country Club, The Aviary, Catamount Mountain Resort, farm stands, wineries, and the charming villages of Copake, Millerton, and Hillsdale. Whether your weekends are filled with hiking, skiing, antiquing, or long dinners with friends, this location puts the very best of the region within easy reach, all just over two hours from New York City.
