Set beside a fast-moving stream in New York’s lower Hudson Valley, Millhouse reimagines a 19th-century grain gristmill as a contemporary timber-frame residence. Built directly into the mill’s original stone foundation, the 1,725sqft home blends rustic structure with refined craftsmanship across 1.5 acres of cultivated woodland.
At its centre, a double-height great room unfolds beneath exposed timber beams, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and walls of glass that pull in daylight and views of the water. A curved plaster staircase leads to the upper floor. The kitchen, lined in custom millwork, Bianco Rhino marble and a Bertazzoni range, reflects the same artisanal precision. Upstairs, two bedrooms and two baths feature reclaimed French limestone floors, a Viola marble vanity and tadelakt walls in soft, mineral tones.

Beyond the house, a separate studio with a wraparound deck and wood stove sits above the stream, used as a creative workspace or guest retreat, Stone paths link the main house to gardens, a fire pit and the remnants of the mill foundation, all bordered by mature trees and wildflowers. Now on the market for $865,000, Millhouse offers pastoral calm within easy reach of New York City.
