If you’re looking for big views, clean modern lines, and a luxurious connection to nature, this Old Chatham property delivers on every front.
The newly reimagined 6-bedroom estate spans 10 acres of private, elevated land and sits in one of the most coveted corners of New York’s Hudson Valley. It’s now on the market for $4,935,000 (Nancy Felcetto with Brown Harris Stevens holds the listing).
Originally a cedar house, the property was completely rebuilt and expanded with sustainability and year-round enjoyment in mind. Solar panels, multiple EV charging stations, and radiant-heated spaces offer cutting-edge energy efficiency, while walls of glass and expansive bluestone patios bring the outdoors into focus. Each room is carefully designed to capture southern light and sweeping mountain views.
With a 50-foot heated gunite pool, spa pavilion with a cedar sauna, a firepit, and a floodlit tennis court, the home is equally suited to wellness getaways, group entertaining, and quiet family life.
And thanks to its seamless indoor-outdoor layout, it makes the most of every season—from snow-covered hilltops in winter to golden-hour cookouts in summer.

$4.935M Modern architectural home with indoor-outdoor living in focus
The property at 33 Ford Road comes with 6 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and one half bath across approximately 12 rooms. At just under $5 million, the Old Chatham home offers rare value for high-end Hudson Valley real estate, thanks to its combination of scale, privacy, and architectural quality.
Expansive glass walls, 3,000 square feet of bluestone patios, and unobstructed southern views give the home a sense of constant connection with the landscape.
A living room designed for all four seasons
The main living area makes a striking first impression with its high ceilings, sun-soaked atmosphere, and central wood-burning fireplace.
Large-format windows frame rolling mountain views in every direction, and the open layout flows easily to the outdoors. Whether people gather around the fire in winter or watch the landscape change colors in fall, the space is designed to make the seasons feel close.
Chef’s kitchen with butler’s pantry and mountain views
At the heart of the home is a contemporary chef’s kitchen with streamlined cabinetry and high-end appliances. A generous butler’s pantry sits just behind, adding convenience for larger gatherings.
The kitchen opens directly into a formal dining space and a cozy family room with a second fireplace, while a continuous glass wall leads out to dining and lounging patios.
Primary suite with private deck and endless light
Upstairs, the primary suite offers a quiet sanctuary with an elevated perspective on the landscape. A private glass-walled deck extends the bedroom experience outdoors, while large sliding glass doors maintain a visual connection to the mountain views even from bed.
Flexible floor plan with space for office, gym, or studio
In addition to 5 bedrooms, the second level includes a bonus space that can serve as a home gym, art studio, or den. A second laundry room, multiple full baths, and private terraces give the upper level the same flexibility and functionality as the ground floor.
Spa pavilion with a cedar sauna and lounge
One of the property’s standout features is the separate spa pavilion located just across a breezeway.
It includes a stainless steel custom hot tub, cedar sauna, full bath, and indoor lounge — all with full-height glass walls that capture west- and south-facing views. The spa looks out onto a floodlit Dura-Ace tennis court, making this a rare full-featured wellness retreat.
A pool area made for summer weekends
The home’s 50 x 17 heated gunite pool, complete with a built-in hot tub, is flanked by open-air and covered patios designed for lounging, dining, and entertaining.
A large game room opens directly onto this space, creating a natural hub for summer weekends and holiday gatherings.
Energy efficiency built in
The home’s systems were designed with sustainability in mind. A whole-house grid-connected solar system significantly offsets energy use, while radiant heating and EV charging future-proof the property for years to come.
The attached 3-car garage includes ample storage and workspace, with radiant floors for year-round comfort.
Set in a prime Hudson Valley location with big-sky views
Located in the historic hamlet of Old Chatham, the property is well-positioned for access to both the Hudson Valley and the Berkshires.
Whether future residents are drawn to hiking, farm-to-table dining, skiing, or weekend antiquing, the area offers something for every type of rural escape. But for many buyers, the real luxury is having panoramic mountain views and complete privacy just a few hours from New York City.
