About this property

Silver 1780 Millbrook Classic

Fresh, up-to-date Georgian jewel set on 120 prime Millbrook acres.

Master bedroom, two guest bedrooms, and two children's bedrooms. Big, open, light-filled kitchen (Bosch, Wolf, marble counters) opens onto lovely stone terrace with its own dining table and patio furniture, garden & saltwater pool.

Large master bath with double-sink, big tub, walk-in shower. Dreamy screened-in porch with day bed; wood-paneled library; formal dining room; two living rooms; 5 fireplaces.

Air conditioning on the second and third (i.e. bedroom) floors.

The property, former estate of famous Audubon Society chief and WW1 aviator John H. Baker, is well known in Dutchess county for its walks, trees, and unique bird-life.

There is a separate "cottage" on the property (in the same building as the gym, but with separate entrance on the far side of the building; location is "off-screen" on the left of the aerial photo in this listing), with a shared driveway. This may be occupied during your rental, or alternatively it could be made available as part of your rental -- feel free to inquire about availability. An artist's studio in the same building can also be made available.

Prestigious Millbrook location places this gem within 90 minutes of the Upper East Side.

About the host

Hosted by Bartle Bull

Host profile image

Owners Bartle and Claudia Bull are a writer/filmmaker and artist, respectively. After living in Manhattan for a decade, we moved to Millbrook to give our children a country upbringing in this well-loved area of dairy and beef farms, equestrian estates, orchards, woods, and trout streams.

Why they chose this property

This historic house is a true American classic. Among the oldest of the larger houses in Millbrook, it was built in 1780--the high Georgian period, at the very apogee of Anglo-Saxon taste and design.

It was the year that the Marquis de Lafayette--a Revolutionary comrade-in-arms of one of my ancestors whose family first acquired this land in a 160,000-acre 17th century land-grant from the Crown--sailed to these shores from France, in his frigate the Hermione.

What makes this property unique

1) Built in 1780, this house was entirely renovated only five years ago. It is unusual to find a house--in Millbrook, anyway--of this pedigree that feels "modern" inside, with large, open rooms and a freshly built, light-filled feeling.

2) The "footprint" of the greater Millbrook area is perhaps 40 miles across.... and much of the area is well over two hours from NYC even in favorable traffic. Set in the most beautiful and prestigious section of South Millbrook, Tatankaska Farm is only 82 miles from Manhattan's Upper East Side--a 1 hour and 45 mins. drive in moderately good conditions, less than that on weekends or at night, and under two hours with all but very bad City traffic.

3) We are less than 5 miles from the Metro North train station at Dover Plains--a convenient and inexpensive trip from Grand Central or Harlem/125th St. stations on the East Side of Manhattan.
