Welcome to Slatefield Farmstead, a beautifully restored 18th-century farmhouse set on over ten pastoral acres in peaceful Salisbury Mills. A long private drive leads to the broad-fronted façade of weathered clapboard and a durable tin roof that adds timeless appeal. Once a working dairy farm, the property preserves its historic character while offering every modern comfort. Its location near the Metro-North station means you can be in Manhattan in under 90 minutes, perfect for weekend getaways or weekday commuting without giving up space, privacy, or rural serenity.<br />The 3,000 square foot main house has open, light-filled spaces and refined details. Wide plank wood floors flow throughout, and vaulted ceilings in the bedrooms create bright, airy retreats. The chef’s kitchen features quartz countertops, a commercial-grade range, double dishwashers, and abundant cabinetry. A large dining room sits just off the kitchen, ideal for family meals or holiday gatherings. The family room provides casual space for relaxing, while a private in-law suite with its own entrance offers flexibility for guests or extended stays. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a newly renovated bathroom and hilltop views, and two additional bedrooms each have ensuite baths and convenient laundry access.<br />The home has been upgraded throughout, with systems designed for ease and efficiency. A Lutron lighting system, whole-home Sonos sound, spray foam insulation, and new furnace and septic ensure comfort in every season. Modern essentials like a 26kW generator, water filtration, and security cameras provide peace of mind, while the careful renovations preserve the home’s character and craftsmanship.<br />Outdoors, there’s room to create the lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of. A covered front porch overlooks open fields, and a custom stone firepit provides a gathering spot for evenings under the stars. The historic red barn, with two non-operational silos, can be restored for farming, transformed into a creative studio, or used as a social space. The five-bay garage is ideal for car enthusiasts, makers, or anyone who values storage and workspace. With horse paddocks, a pond, and rolling pastures, the property encourages both recreation and relaxation. Nearby, enjoy hiking at Schunemunk and Storm King State Parks, the Moodna Viaduct Trail, cultural visits to Storm King Art Center, and tastings at Brotherhood Winery, the country’s oldest winery. This is a home for those who value space, light, and the freedom to live fully in the countryside while staying connected to the city.
