Make the most of the New York state countryside from this home in Amenia, which is within driving distance of some excellent hikes, such as Macedonia Brook State Park (twenty minutes in the car). It’s also only thirty minutes from the Catamount ski resort, meaning there’s plenty on offer for active guests. Or watch a movie at the drive-in cinema, a two-minute ride away. Back at this home itself, you’ll find a stylish space to return to after a day of exploring the surrounding area. Whether you’re sitting around the fire pit in the yard, lounging on the sofa as a group or enjoying a family meal, the spacious home is ideal for socialising. We love the vintage pieces offering a nod to the area’s agricultural roots. What’s more, there's two laptop-friendly workspaces, making it easy to work from home.

About Beacon
While Upstate New York is used to being overshadowed by the city, a trip up the Hudson brings you to some charming towns and beautiful scenery. The slower pace of life here is an excellent antidote to the frenetic energy of Manhattan and Brooklyn. The lush, ever-changing landscape is an attraction in itself, but the towns of the Hudson Valley offer a healthy dose of culture and history. This area...
