Property Description

Welcome to Iris Valley Estate, a palatial 24-acre contemporary artist's estate with panoramic views of the Berkshire Mountains. The expansive property features a light-filled main house, a passive solar modern guest residence/artist studio, and a detached garage with workshop. Each building is thoughtfully positioned to take full advantage of the natural surroundings, with expansive decks, patios, a heated gunite pool, and a sense of peaceful seclusion. Offering flexibility for living, working, and entertaining, Iris Valley Estate is located just a short drive from the Berkshires and the best of Upstate New York. The main house spans over 3,200 square feet across three finished levels. The first floor features an expansive eat-in kitchen that overlooks a valley of flowers, an open living and dining area anchored by a double-sided fireplace, and direct access to the pool and screened-in patio. Upstairs, a breezeway landing overlooks the main floor and connects the private primary suite-complete with soaking tub and garden views-to a separate wing with three additional bedrooms and a full bath. The lower level is currently used as a media and game room, with plenty of space for relaxing or hosting guests. Tucked away near the entrance of the long driveway, a separate modern guest house offers flexible living space with a bedroom, 1.5 bathrooms, a full kitchen, and a large open room currently used as an artist's workspace. Sleek cement floors, picture windows, and a private bluestone patio make the studio a tranquil hideaway among the lush landscape. Owned solar panels on the roof offer energy efficiency and year-round cost savings. Up the driveway, closer to the main house, the detached two-level garage offers plentiful storage as well as workspace, currently utilized as a ceramic studio. Outside, the property offers the best of both worlds—ultimate privacy paired with sweeping views, open green meadows, mature trees, and a charming garden filled with irises and peonies. Luxurious amenities include a heated gunite pool, hot tub, deck, fenced-in vegetable garden, and a bluestone patio. Electrical lines are buried throughout the estate, protecting the unobstructed mountain views. Located close to ski resorts, local farms, and neighboring towns like Hudson, Millerton, and Great Barrington, this property is as practical as it is picturesque. Whether you're hosting summer gatherings, cozying up by the fire, or working on your next creative project, Iris Valley Estate offers a remarkable setting to settle in and stretch out.
