米德菲爾德（Middlefield），這座位於風景如畫的哈德遜河谷（Hudson Valley）上，佔地45英畝的標誌性鄉村莊園，首次公開出售。這座房屋由AD 100建築師、著有《美國偉大住宅》（The Great American House）的吉爾·沙費爾（Gil Schafer）設計，充分展現了對古典建築、工藝和自然景觀的深刻敬意。米德菲爾德被構思為一個歷史與現代生活無縫交融的場所，它體現了傳統美國建築的溫暖與特質，同時提供21世紀度假所期待的所有舒適。

從一條兩側種植著古老樹木和本土植物的蜿蜒車道進入，房屋位置恰當，既享有私密性，又與周圍的自然景觀緊密相連。這座希臘復興風格的房子擁有古典雙層高的門廊，散發出低調的優雅，對稱的外立面、優雅的比例、以及向該地區豐富建築遺產致敬的手工細節，使其更具魅力。

室內，每個房間都設計得既宏偉又親密。一個中央大廳通向美麗比例的雙客廳生活和用餐空間，每個空間都充滿柔和的自然光，並經過精心設計的視野可以欣賞周圍的花園和林地。一個寬敞的三季廊道緊鄰主要生活空間，充分利用西部的日落和夏日微風。再生的古董寬板地板、定制的門硬件和木工，以及古董壁爐，賦予空間永恆的感覺，同時精心選擇的裝飾和低調的調色板則增添了放鬆的優雅氛圍。廚房被設計為家庭的心臟，平衡了實用性與美感，配有定制的櫥櫃、大型木柴爐和迷人而實用的管家儲藏室。

樓上，有三間面積寬敞的臥室，提供了寧靜的避風港，主要套房享有俯瞰起伏山丘的景觀。樓上的三間浴室配備了經典設施和磨光大理石，追溯到歷史鄉村住宅的靜謐奢華。

三樓的媒體室和工作室為人們提供了安靜的逃離地，可以在那裡放鬆或工作，同時欣賞從戲劇性的扇形窗戶望外的美景。由黛博拉·內文斯（Deborah Nevins）設計的景觀同樣經過精心考量。由牆壁、榉樹、紫杉和箱樹樹籬、樹木和草坪露臺組成的一系列花園房間，調和著住宅建築與土地之間的關係。與此同時，廚房花園和位於手工鋪設石牆和修剪樹籬上的石露臺，為戶外用餐提供了完美的場景。

這是一座注定要被居住的房子，每一個細節都講述著一個故事，每一個空間都邀請您放慢腳步，欣賞這個地方的美麗。這是一個難得的機會，擁有一個根植於傳統，卻又毫不費力地適應現代生活的家，位於哈德遜河谷最受追捧的角落之一。

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.
Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms offer a sanctuary of calm, with the primary suite enjoying a view overlooking the rolling hills. Three upstairs baths are outfitted with classic fixtures and honed marble, recalling the quiet luxury of historic country homes.
A third-floor media room and studio provide a quiet getaway for one to relax or work while taking advantage of the views from the dramatic fan light windows.
The landscape, designed by Deborah Nevins, is as carefully considered as the architecture. A series of garden rooms using walls, Hornbeam, Yew, and Boxwood hedges, trees, and lawn terraces mediate between the architecture of the residence and the land. Meanwhile, the kitchen garden and stone terrace overlooking hand-laid stone walls and clipped hedges offer the perfect setting for outdoor dining.
This is a house meant to be lived in, where every detail tells a story, and every space invites you to slow down and appreciate the beauty of place. A rare opportunity to own a home that is both deeply rooted in tradition and effortlessly suited to modern life in one of the most sought-after corners of the Hudson Valley.
