Rijetko utočište u srcu doline Hudson

Dobrodošli u "Querencia" — remek-djelo baštine i modernog dizajna
Skriveno niz mirnu seosku stazu, u srcu grada Kinderhook, nalazi se jedinstveni bijeg gdje se arhitektonska baština i suvremena vizija susreću u savršenoj harmoniji. Privatno smješteno na osam hektara i graniči s 600 hektara zaštićenih poljoprivrednih zemljišta, ovo izvanredno imanje nudi neusporedivu izolaciju, mir i dušu.
Izvorno izgrađena 1740. godine i pažljivo proširena 1840. godine, seoska kuća je pomno restaurirana od strane svojih trenutnih vlasnika. Odvažan, moderni dodatak sredine 20. stoljeća dizajnirali su svjetski poznati arhitekt John Messick, osnivački partner MCWB arhitekata i učenik I.M. Peija. Prekrasno integrirajući kamen, drvo i staklo kako bi stvorili rezidenciju koja je istovremeno bezvremenska i zapanjujuće moderna.
Dom s pet spavaćih soba i četiri kupaonice živi je umjetnički rad. Originalna nizozemska vrata, ručno obrađene grede, široke drvene podove i antikni hardver odražavaju njegovu baštinu, dok se skulpturalno zakrivljeno stubište povezuje s povijesnim dijelom kuće. U središtu se nalazi dramatična, svijetlom ispunjena velika soba, podržana kaminom inspiriranim silosom. Ovaj moderni krak bez napora se povezuje s kuhinjom za kuhara i blagovaonicom, gdje široki pogledi na livade, vrtove i okolna poljoprivredna zemljišta pružaju svakodnevni osjećaj mira i divljenja.
Raspored je osmišljen za ravnotežu i jednostavnost, nudeći tri spavaće sobe s kupaonicama — uključujući primarne apartmane na oba kata. Apartman na prvom katu ima vlastiti kamin i garderobu, dok apartman na drugom katu pruža pogled na krošnje drveća i atmosferu mirne luksuznosti. Dvije dodatne spavaće sobe dijele lijepo uređenu punu kupaonicu, gdje je kad smještena tako da okviri pejzaž poput slike.
Izvan, čarolija se nastavlja. Kamenite terase pozivaju na objedovanje na otvorenom. Sjajni bazen, dva bajkovita staja (jedna trošna, jedna crvena), polja divljih cvjetova, vijugave staze i dva ribnjaka napajana iz izvora stvaraju krajolik pun ljepote, idealan za razmišljanje i rekreaciju.
Idealno smješteno samo 10 minuta do Kinderhooka, 15 do Chathama, 20 do Hudsona i Amtraka, te 40 do Međunarodne zračne luke Albany, ovo je inspirirano vikend utočište ili cjelogodišnje svetište. Rijetko se ovakvo imanje nudi na tržištu. To je više od doma — to je mjesto pripadnosti, oblikovano poviješću, osmišljeno za inspiraciju i spremno za svoje sljedeće poglavlje.

"Querencia" — gdje se osjećate kao kod kuće.

A Rare Sanctuary in the Heart of the Hudson Valley

Welcome to “Querencia” — A Masterpiece of Heritage and Modern Design
Nestled down a peaceful country lane, in the heart of the Town of Kinderhook, is a one-of-a-kind retreat where architectural legacy and contemporary vision meet in perfect harmony. Privately sited on eight acres and bordered by 600 acres of protected farmland, this extraordinary property offers unmatched seclusion, serenity, and soul.
Originally constructed in 1740 and thoughtfully expanded in 1840, the farmhouse has been meticulously restored by its current owners. A bold, Mid-20th Century, modern addition was designed by World Renowned Architect John Messick, the Founding Partner of MCWB Architects and a disciple of I.M. Pei. Beautifully integrating stone, wood, and glass to create a residence that is at once timeless and strikingly modern.
The five-bedroom, four-bathroom home is a living work of art. Original Dutch doors, hand-hewn beams, wide-plank floors, and antique hardware reflect its heritage, while a sculptural curved staircase anchors the historic section of the home. At the heart lies a dramatic, light-filled great room anchored by a silo-inspired Inglenook fireplace. This modern wing flows effortlessly into the chef’s kitchen and dining area, where sweeping views of meadows, gardens, and the surrounding farmland provide a daily sense of peace and awe.
The layout is designed for balance and ease, offering three en-suite bedrooms—including primary suites on both floors. The first-floor suite boasts its own fireplace and dressing room, while the second-floor suite provides treetop views and an atmosphere of tranquil luxury. Two additional bedrooms share a beautifully appointed full bath, where a soaking tub is positioned to frame the landscape like a painting.
Outside, the magic continues. Stone terraces invite alfresco dining. A shimmering swimming pool, two storybook barns (one weathered, one red), fields of wildflowers, winding paths, and two spring-fed ponds create a landscape alive with beauty, ideal for reflection and recreation.
Ideally located just 10 minutes to Kinderhook, 15 to Chatham, 20 to Hudson and Amtrak, and 40 to Albany International Airport, is an inspired weekend haven or a full-time sanctuary. Rarely does a property of this level become available. It's more than a home—it is a place of belonging, shaped by history, designed for inspiration, and ready for its next chapter.
