Seldom is there an opportunity to own an extraordinary property like this one. On one of the beautiful country roads in Solebury, Fox Hollow Farm has two special houses on 37 acres of lawns, meadows, and partially wooded areas. If a serene retreat, absolute privacy and a relaxed and gracious lifestyle is what you seek, this is a property that will capture your imagination. The gated entrance opens to a long driveway that takes you to two separate houses built 200 years apart. Honoring the authenticity of the original 1806 farmhouse, the main residence is a reproduction designed to be similar in exterior appearance but with the finest modern features for luxury living. The two homes share a large soaring height pavilion that has an expansive seating area and a sunken hot tub and connects the two porches. Enter into a home with a 2-story foyer that sets the tone for the inspired design and the materials used. Pillars, detailed millwork, random width pine floors, many windows for natural light, bedrooms with private balconies are a few. The formal dining room is perfect for intimate or large gatherings, and the efficient and beautiful eat-in kitchen has custom cabinetry, two dishwashers and a 2-level island w/seating. A full width living room is warmed by a woodburning fireplace and an Atrium door opens to a wraparound deck that connects to the pavilion. Completing the main level is a full bathroom. Upstairs is a wide hall from which you access the primary bedroom and bathroom suite overlooking the living room. A second bedroom has a hall bathroom next to it, A hidden staircase goes to the third floor attic, which is an enormous room to use as another bedroom or as flex space. Plenty of closets there! A huge walkout basement with 9’ ceilings and a door to a patio could be finished if you need more space. And then there is the original farmhouse dating back to 1806! Imagine if walls could speak! A grand house built by a wealthy landowner, it is an amazing three level home with authentic period details and modern conveniences. With almost 2000sf of space, the main level has the “traditional” large dining room with a woodburning fireplace and the living room is filled with period charm. An in-the-wall brick fireplace, pumpkin pine floors, deep sill windows, Dutch doors, a powder room and an efficient kitchen is the main level. The second floor has two bedrooms, an office or sitting room, two bathrooms, one ensuite, and a back staircase to the first floor. The house is currently rented but offers many possibilities for its use. The outdoors is filled with ponds, garden beds, a bubbling creek under a bridge, statues, bluestone walkways, an original springhouse, dry stack stone walls, and so much more. Two garages have space for vehicles, equipment and storage. Some exterior work on roofs and painting of the wood decking is needed and estimates for the work will be available. Bring your vision and creativity, your love of old and newer homes, beautiful surroundings, and a serene place to retreat to and renew. It's quite a property to call home.
