Nestled atop its own private hill with picturesque western views, “Big Trail Barn” is an authentic barn-style home, custom built in 2019. The house expertly blends rustic charm with modern comforts, making it a perfect choice for anyone looking for a turnkey weekend getaway or a chic, year-round home surrounded by tranquility.

Spanning 2,600 square feet and tucked back from the road by a conifer-lined driveway, the home’s design is a testament to craftsmanship and heritage. Its architectural details include reclaimed pine, hand-hewn beams, hemlock trim, and base moldings. The inclusion of sliding barn doors and a unique reclaimed wood cupola—pieces lovingly rescued from barns across New York and Pennsylvania—brings a sense of history and character.

The centerpiece of the home is the double-height great room, punctuated by an impressive stone fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the ridge views. An open and inviting layout bathes the space with abundant natural light, complemented by a custom Kingswood kitchen fitted with granite countertops, a butcher block island, and stainless steel appliances. Throughout the home, wide plank wood flooring adds warmth and authenticity.

The first floor also hosts a sumptuous primary bedroom suite, with a spacious walk-in closet and a spa-like bathroom featuring a glass shower and a free-standing soaking tub. Upstairs, three sizable guest bedrooms and full bath provide ample space and comfort for family or visitors, while a large laundry room adds convenience and practicality.

Other notable features include energy-efficient propane heat, central air, closed-cell spray foam insulation, smart home thermostats, and a 2-car garage all controlled via smartphone. Oversized custom Marvin Integrity windows and skylights allow in plenty of natural light, enhancing the sense of openness and connection to the outdoors.

Step outside to enjoy the expansive wrap-around hardwood deck, freshly re-stained in 2023, offering an idyllic setting for entertainment, dining al fresco, or quiet reflection. The property spans 3.4 private acres and has a sloped lawn, a lovely firepit nook, and fresh landscaping, providing ample options for outdoor activities and leisure.

Conveniently located about 90 minutes from Manhattan and 20 minutes from the Brewster train station, Big Trail Barn offers an enviable blend of calm rural life with quick city access. With proximity to Candlewood Lake, the area is a paradise for boating, fishing, and outdoor activities, within a community that values and engages with nature.

Big Trail Barn is a rare, turnkey gem, ideal for the discerning buyer looking to enjoy country living right away. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind opportunity! Exclusively offered by Madonna & Phillips Team at William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty.
