Summary:
Perched at the top of a hill on 20 private acres, this upscale, modern log home serves as an ideal home base to discover the picturesque Hudson Valley. The Hammock Hill House offers guests upscale features such as Sonos speakers, smart Hue lights, and a gourmet kitchen complete with Wolf and Miele appliances.

The Space:
Prepare to be awed as you approach the Hammock Hill House, with its circular driveway, lush landscaping, and wrap-around porch. This expanded A-frame log-cabin provides an impressive presentation and a hint of the upscale features awaiting you.
Situated on over 20 acres with an abundance of space over 3 floors, this home offers its guests the opportunity to shake off the stress of the city, find a comfortable space to relax in relative solitude, and enjoy the peace that being amongst nature always brings.
Living Spaces
We often hear about the “WOW” factor in particularly spectacular homes. When you walk into the Hammock Hill House, you’ll experience it first hand.
Walk into the sun-dappled living room, with its soaring ceilings, two-story windows, and a floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace and that “WOW” factor comes to life.
Sink into one of the two facing modern sofas or side chair, kick off your shoes, switch on the fireplace and find yourself both mesmerized and calmed by the dancing flames. Or maybe you’re ready to tackle the book you’ve saved for vacation from the comfort of the hanging egg-chair. Or even better, you just want to absorb your surroundings in one of the Acapulco chairs facing the endless view.
Later, slip downstairs to the lounge for a game of pool, or darts, or even a board game, as you sip on your favorite drink. Then stream your favorite show or movie on the HDTV as you relax on the cozy sectional sofa.
Cooking & Dining
This gourmet kitchen will make even the pickiest of chefs proud. This generous space offers Wolf and Miele appliances in stainless steel, a beautifully tiled backsplash, abundant counter space for food prep and enough cabinets for all of your groceries. A Keurig coffee maker is provided with a selection of coffee pods.
In keeping with the open concept theme, the dining room is adjacent to the kitchen, with an extended table that seats 8 comfortably. This space overlooks the deck, providing lovely natural light and views of the outdoor scenery.

Outdoor Amenities
Imagine yourself sitting comfortably on the wrap-around deck, breathing in the sweet mountain air, as you smell your dinner cooking on the gas grill. Enjoy that meal al fresco, at the dining table for 6.
Later, take in the night stars from the bubbling warmth of the hot tub on the deck. Or perhaps, you’d rather have a good old-fashioned campfire in the firepit, as you lounge on the Adirondack chairs, roasting marshmallows and telling ghost stories.
