Property Description

Welcome to Bons Reves House, a beautifully designed escape tucked away on nearly seven acres in the most desirable part of the Austerlitz hills. Built in 1985 and meticulously renovated and expanded by a top builder in 2012 and again in 2025, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath contemporary home feels like a luxury treehouse hidden among mature hardwoods and surrounded by large estates and high-end residences. Custom millwork, natural stone and wood surfaces, bespoke plaster treatments, and designer-chosen paint colors all speak to exceptional quality. The gracious, flowing layout offers plenty of room for gathering, and bedrooms tucked into separate wings create privacy and practicality. This is a home built as much for weekend entertaining as it is for quiet days spent resting and recharging.On the first floor, a renovated chef's kitchen with stone countertops, custom cabinetry, multiple prep areas, and an island breakfast bar make it a true country kitchen, with plenty of room for gatherings and holidays. It flows into a Thanksgiving-sized dining area and a large, inviting living room centered around a cozy wood burning fireplace. Just off the kitchen, a newly built four-season sunroom looks out through oversized windows onto treetops and the ridgeline beyond. A mudroom with laundry, a full bath, and a powder room round out this level.Up one set of stairs, the primary suite has vaulted ceiling, multiple closets, and a full bath with a dramatic architectural sensibility. A second staircase off the kitchen leads to two more bedrooms and a full bath. Down on the lower level, an additional bedroom joins a studio or work space, an exercise area, and a newly built window-lined sitting room, offering room to spread out or tuck away.Outside, the wraparound Trex deck, front porch, fenced garden, handbuilt stone walls, and professionally landscaped grounds create a storybook atmosphere for outdoor living. The wooded acreage surrounding the home creates a natural buffer for privacy and quiet. Recent upgrades reflect real investment in the property: new windows, six new heat pumps, a recently replaced roof, a generator, a new garage door, and a freshly painted interior and exterior.The location suits both a weekend retreat and a full-time home. Just 15 minutes from Chatham, 20 to Great Barrington, MA, 35 minutes to Hudson, 45 minutes to Albany, and two-and-a-half hours to New York City, Bons Reves House puts summer evenings at Tanglewood, a movie night in Chatham, dinner out, and gallery walks through Great Barrington and Hu
