Middlefield, an iconic country estate set on 45 acres in the scenic Hudson Valley is being offered for sale for the first time in its history. The house, designed by AD 100 architect and author of The Great American House, Gil Schafer reflects a deep reverence for classical architecture, craftsmanship, and the natural landscape. Conceived as a place where history and modern living seamlessly intertwine, Middlefield embodies the warmth and character of traditional American architecture while offering all the comforts expected of a 21st-century retreat.
Approached by a winding drive lined with old-growth trees and native plantings, the house is perfectly situated to take advantage of both its privacy and its connection to the surrounding landscape. The Greek Revival house featuring a classical double height portico exudes an understated elegance, with a symmetrical facade, gracious proportions, and handcrafted details that nod to the region’s rich architectural heritage.
Inside, every room is designed to feel both grand and intimate. A center hall leads to beautifully scaled double parlor living and dining spaces. Each of which is filled with soft natural light and thoughtfully framed views of the surrounding garden and woodlands. A generous three season porch is set off the main living spaces and takes full advantage of the western sunsets and summer breeze. Reclaimed antique wide-plank floors, custom-made door hardware and millwork, and antique mantels create a sense of timelessness, while carefully selected finishes and a restrained palette lend an air of relaxed sophistication. The kitchen, designed as the heart of the home, balances utility and beauty with custom cabinetry, a large wood burning fireplace, and a charming yet functional butler’s pantry.
