Clockhouse | Decker Mountain, Columbia County Soulful Sophistication at Columbia County's Summit Where history and heart meet the horizon A tranquil haven within two hours of New York City, Clockhouse is perched at one of Columbia County's highest elevations-tucked along a quiet country road and surrounded by protected land that ensures enduring privacy and unspoiled natural beauty. This rare and storied retreat offers over 3,200 square feet of exquisitely restored living space on five landscaped acres, bordered by an additional 128 acres of conservation land. Framed by forest, meadows, and panoramic sky, this iconic home blends the romance of early American architecture with the ease of modern living. Named for the distinctive exterior clock adorning its front-facing gable, Clockhouse was originally built in 1820 by Abram Decker and thoughtfully expanded in 1870. It has since been masterfully reimagined-under the guidance of a renowned landscape architect-using timeless materials and a restrained design language to create a home rich in warmth, character, and comfort. Inside, unusually high ceilings for a home of this era flood the interiors with light and lend an airy sense of scale. Original wide-plank floors and hand-hewn beams are paired with refined updates and natural textures. Nearly every surface has been meticulously refreshed, including a full electrical upgrade, new interior and exterior paint, new gutters, and brand-new garage doors on the barn. The chef's kitchen has been thoughtfully renovated to honor the home's character, with refinished cabinetry, new countertops, a Viking range, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator-balancing modern function with timeless style. The property also offers excellent, fresh drinking water, adding to the home's comfort and livability. The living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace and custom built-ins, while the formal dining room features an artfully stenciled floor. A cozy den and full bath complete the first floor. Upstairs, four serene bedrooms and two additional full baths provide peaceful, treetop escapes. All four bathrooms have been tastefully renovated in a clean, organic style that respects the home's heritage. Climb the reclaimed ship stair with wooden handles to reach the third-floor finished attic-currently used as a yoga and meditation room-a tranquil space to read, reflect, or work. Outdoors, the magic continues: mature landscaping, and miles of private trails, creeks, and meadows offer a deeply immersive experience in nature. A lovingly tended, spring-fed, crystal-clear swimming pond with dock and rowboat completes the picture. A massive three-bay barn-style garage with soaring doors and a finished loft above provides flexible space for a studio, gym, guest quarters, or creative use. High-speed internet ensures you're connected when needed. Located just 14 minutes north of the acclaimed Stissing House and within easy reach of the region's most charming towns-including Millbrook, Hudson, Rhinebeck, Millerton, and Great Barrington-Clockhouse offers privacy without isolation, rooted in history, alive with soul, and ready to enjoy from day one.
