On 16 secluded acres in the historic hamlet of Red Rock in East Chatham, New York, Red Rock House at 205 County Route 24 is an example of modern architecture that integrates seamlessly with the forest that surrounds it. Designed by Anmahian Winton Architects with landscapes by Studio Reed-Hilderbrand, the compound offers every contemporary comfort while maintaining harmony with the natural landscape. Asking $4.6 million, the homes and grounds represent as much a restorative experience as a secluded getaway, with a saltwater pool, guest cabins–even a tree house.
A driveway winds through the woods to the main house and guest house, connected by a bluestone path. Exteriors are clad in darkened cedar to disappear into the surrounding forest. A terraced pergola offers an outdoor refuge with a wood-burning fireplace and a 60-foot heated saltwater pool.
The three-level main house features open, modern interiors. Glass walls offering treetop views frame a double-height living room. An adjacent lounge anchored by a wood-burning fireplace opens to wraparound terrace set into the forest.
A contemporary kitchen surrounds a center island topped by Vermont Danby marble. Premium additions include custom cabinetry and appliances by Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele. A large dining area opens onto a balcony overlooking the pool and grounds. A powder room completes this level.
Upstairs, a tranquil primary suite offers a separate sitting area with a gas fireplace and a marble-clad en-suite bathroom with a two-person tub. Additional luxuries include a large custom dressing room and a laundry closet. Next door is a media room with a fireplace and built-in bookshelves.
Walk out to the pool from the home’s lower level, which offers two bedrooms, an office, and a full bathroom. In addition to living and guest quarters, this level could serve as a gym, home office, or studio.
A separate guest house has the same contemporary design, offering a kitchenette, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom. Also on the property are a creekside cottage and trail that winds through the woods to a treehouse, offering the perfect spot for meditation or reflection. A 60-foot heated saltwater pool offers even more outdoor options.
Twenty-first-century comforts throughout the property include multi-zone HVAC, radiant heated floors, custom architectural lighting, a central vacuum system, and a 22KW generator. A two-car garage provides abundant storage and a Tesla charging station. The town of Chatham is 10 minutes away, and Hudson is just 25 minutes away.
