The Space:
Twin Pond Ridge is a luxurious Dutchess County estate, set on a hillside with long views of the Hudson Valley. The home is defined by classic Northeast lodge design, with cedar shake siding,
exposed timber beams, rich wood accents, and wide-plank dark flooring. This home features a pool, tennis courts, formal game room and movie theater, and plenty of space for your group to gather and enjoy an upstate getaway.
At the top of the long, private drive, enter through the mudroom which leads to the kitchen and dining room beyond. The kitchen features classic shaker-style cabinetry, black stone countertops and a breakfast bar, along with a welcoming dining room framed by windows overlooking the pond. The living area offers a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and french doors on either side, opening to a stone patio on the front of the home, and a grill and lounge area in the back.
Beyond the spacious living room, find two additional bedrooms, one with two twin beds and the other with a queen, sharing a bathroom with a tub/shower combo. The primary bedroom is also on this level, where a king-size bed and mountain views create a serene retreat. This suite includes a walk-in closet, private access to the outdoors, and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Another bathroom with a tub/shower combo is located on this level between the office and the stairs to the second floor for added convenience.
Upstairs, two more guest bedrooms offer flexible sleeping arrangements: one with two sets of built-in bunk beds ideal for kids, and the other with a queen bed. These rooms share a bathroom with a walk-in shower.
This level also features the formal game room and bar with a pool table, window seat overlooking beautiful views, a stone fireplace and TV. Push through the elegant wainscoting to reveal a hidden theater room with projector and comfortable sectional couch and beanbag chairs.
The basement provides an additional multipurpose space. Work from home from the office space, unwind on the sectional, play a round of foosball or air hockey, or fit in a workout on the rowing machine.
Outdoors, the in-ground pool presents a stunning oasis framed by a generous stone patio with comfortable loungers and an oversized umbrella surrounded by lush greenery. Wander the grounds to discover a tennis/basketball court, a tranquil pond, and a hammock.
Twin Pond Ridge is ideal for summer stays, family gatherings, or peaceful weekend retreats offering privacy, comfort, and natural beauty just steps from your door.

We strongly recommend a 4x4 or a car with four-wheel drive, especially in winter, to handle snow and gravel roads.
