38 Sigler Road, Pine Plains, NY 12567
Welcome to Sigler Estate, a park-like Hudson Valley compound of country houses, historic barns, and cultivated grounds on nearly sprawling 40 acres, minutes from the hamlet of Pine Plains. A new heated 50-foot saltwater pool sits among rolling meadows, mature woodland, and stone-terraced gardens. A restored vintage post & beam home with big views toward the Taconic Mountains, a charming white clapboard cottage, and a one-bedroom studio have each been given a professional designer renovation, and the circa 1930 Main House, with six fireplaces, awaits restoration. Along the drive stands the original Silvernails railroad depot, a link to the estate's past. In all, ten bedrooms and seven baths fill 6,860 square feet across the residences.
In the designer Post & Beam, hand-built solid oak posts and beams rise over oak floors in the high-ceilinged great room, where a floor-to-ceiling stone hearth and chimney frame a new cast-iron wood stove. The open kitchen pairs custom cabinetry and Carrara marble with Bosch appliances, and mullioned windows and French doors bring the meadows in from every room. A main-floor bedroom sits beside a bath with a restored antique clawfoot tub, and the loft above has a second bedroom and sunny reading nook. Radiant heated floors and custom millwork carry through the house. Reached by its own private driveway, the Cottage has an easy character, with a dormered roofline, painted beams, and new Marvin windows. The fully renovated Studio, with clean lines, an open plan, and a full bath, suits an artist, a home office, or visiting guests. With its own address and private driveway, the Main House is wrapped in weathered gray shingles and opens to a vaulted beadboard living room with a fieldstone fireplace and a wall of windows. Its lower level has been gutted to the studs. A garden path leads to the pool, completed in 2021 with Roman steps, a hand-built stone wall, retractable cover, and mechanical shed. A Dutch barn with original dairy stalls now serves as a renovated workshop with office and loft, and a three-car barn garage, root cellars, and a chicken coop complete the outbuildings. The depot served the Rhinebeck and CT line, nicknamed the Hucklebush for trains slow enough for passengers to hop off to pick berries.
