Property Description

"POETRY OF NATURE" - Tucked within the storybook enclave of Van Houten Fields, where time seems to slow and creativity has long found fertile ground, stands a home of rare warmth, soul and significance. Originally built in 1938 as part of a visionary "back-to-the-land" movement led by philosopher Ralph Borsodi, this nearly 1-acre sanctuary in West Nyack, NY has offered haven to writers, artists, and seekers for generations. Now, beautifully reimagined with thoughtful renovations and a designer's touch, 9 Van Houten Fields invites you to write your next chapter in a setting where history, nature and elegance meet. Just 40 minutes from Manhattan, yet a world away with collective ownership of another 40 acres known as Van Houten Fields (with stocked private pond, tennis, basketball courts, playground, hiking trails), butting up to another 250 acre nature conservation, this is more than a home - it's a retreat. From the moment you arrive, a sense of calm sets in. Mature plantings, curated landscaping, and a peaceful corner lot frame this striking Colonial, which offers 3,300 square feet of character-rich living space, 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Step inside and be greeted by warmth and texture-exposed beams, wide-plank hardwood floors and sun-drenched rooms whisper stories of a bygone era, now seamlessly blended with modern refinement. The chef's kitchen is a true culinary dream, featuring vaulted ceilings, a dramatic stone-clad range hood, rich cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, a breakfast area and a butler's pantry complete with wine fridge, prep sink walk-out access to the expansive back deck. Whether entertaining under the stars or sipping morning coffee as the sun rises over the trees, indoor/outdoor living is effortless here. The formal dining room sets the stage for intimate dinners and holiday celebrations, while the adjacent sun room, enclosed in glass, offers a perfect escape for quiet reflection or lively entertaining. A mudroom and a private first-floor bedroom add both function and flexibility to the main level. Yet the heart of the home is undoubtedly the cathedral-like great room - a breathtaking space with a wall of glass that act like a perpetual mural of the of the lush backyard and pool. A soaring beamed ceiling and expansive brick fireplace bring warmth and drama, making it the perfect setting for cozy evenings by the fire or lazy Sunday mornings reading a book. Upstairs, the tranquility continues... Three additional bedrooms and 2 full baths provide peaceful private quarters. The primary suite is a sanctuary of its own, complete with his-and-hers walk-in closets, exposed beams and a lofted space overlooking the great room below - ideal for a yoga studio, writer's nook, or home office. Beyond the walls, the backyard is a true oasis - dive into the heated in-ground pool, unwind on the stone patio or dine al fresco on the elevated deck shaded by mature trees and fragrant blooms. A 2-car attached garage, a partially finished basement with a home gym and ample storage complete the offering. But what makes this home truly extraordinary is its location within Van Houten Fields: a private community steeped in history and natural beauty. Residents enjoy shared ownership to over 40 acres of green space, including a tranquil pond, tennis, basketball courts and wooded walking trails. Here, life is lived in harmony with the land. Just minutes away, explore the quaint villages of Nyack and Piermont, with their vibrant riverfronts, award-winning restaurants, indie boutiques, art galleries and farmer's markets. 9 Van Houten Fields is a rare offering - a home of deep character, lovingly maintained and artistically reimagined, waiting to welcome its next steward. Whether you seek a peaceful full-time residence, a weekend escape from the city, or a creative sanctuary, this one-of-a-kind setting invites you to live in the ever-changing poetry of nature.
