Where Norman charm meets Hudson Valley splendor, Dragonfly stands as a fine example of country living - a rare 130-acre estate that marries grand European sophistication with the pastoral beauty of Claverack. Just twenty minutes from the cultural centers of Hudson and the Berkshires, this property strikes a balance between secluded sanctuary and connected countryside living.A winding private drive leads to the 7,200-square-foot Normandy-style residence with its stately stucco facade. Inside Dragonfly'', the great room emerges as the heart of this extraordinary home, where soaring ceilings and dramatic walls of glass dissolve the boundary between interior luxury and a wall of white birches and the natural woodlands that lead to the private swimming pond beyond.Twin wood-burning fireplaces anchor this light-drenched gathering space, which flows to outdoor terraces and a dining room that adapts as gracefully to intimate family gatherings as it does to large dinner parties. The chef's kitchen has a professional-grade 48-inch range, generous island, and abundant storage, with a wall of french doors opening to a large terrace for summer gatherings.The primary suite is accessible via a sculptural staircase with a beautiful artisanal, wrought iron railing. The suite features a sitting room, spa-inspired bathroom with dual shower and soaking tub, walk-in closet, and a serene bedroom warmed by a gas fireplace. A private balcony offers a view over the estate's pastoral panorama.Four additional en-suite bedrooms are distributed throughout the residence, ensuring privacy and comfort for family and guests alike. The home's lower level spans the full footprint, including dedicated quarters for a caretaker.Dragonfly is more than a home; it's a rare mix of architectural grace and a natural landscape that threads through the historic, stone walls to the private swimming pond and dock.For the discerning buyer seeking an extraordinary estate property in one of the Hudson Valley's most coveted locations, this singular offering is worth a visit.
