Rare 5-Acrel Quaker Hill Estate with Separate Cottage Perched atop the storied hills of Quaker Hill, this exceptional five-acre estate embodies the romance and elegance of country living at its finest. Privately nestled amid sweeping meadows, renowned equestrian properties, and grand country estates, 43 Meeting House Road offers a rare combination of exclusivity, beauty, and refined luxury just 90 minutes from Manhattan. The main four bedroom residence seamlessly blends timeless character with sophisticated modern design. Wide-plank oak floors, gracious entertaining spaces, a sunlit library-style study, and a beautifully appointed chef's kitchen with radiant-heated floors and an oversized island create an atmosphere of effortless elegance. The luxurious primary suite is a retreat unto itself, with soaring 18-foot ceilings, skylights, and a Juliet balcony overlooking rolling lawns, mature specimen plantings, and the pastoral landscape beyond. Additional ensuite bedrooms and flexible living spaces provide exceptional comfort and privacy. Fine architectural details and high-end finishes are evident throughout. Designed for an elevated indoor-outdoor lifestyle, the estate features open long views, sweeping lawns, mature plantings, and expansive decks that overlook a large, tranquil spring-fed pond. The resort-inspired pool area, complete with cabana, bar, and bath, evokes the atmosphere of a private countryside club. Extensive, artfully designed outdoor lighting further enhances the beauty of the property. Every detail has been curated for comfort and convenience, from whole-house generators serving both residences and a heated two-car garage to integrated Sonos audio, security systems, advanced climate control, and state-of-the-art connectivity. Enhancing the estate is a beautifully renovated and completely independent two-bedroom guest cottage. Featuring its own kitchen, fireplace, lofted living area, utilities, and septic system, it offers luxurious accommodations for guests, extended family, staff, or a private home office. Rarely does a property combine such privacy, sophistication, and natural beauty.
