About this property

Villa Terra - Luxurious Estate 1.5hrs from NYC

At Villa Terra, we want you and your guests to feel as if you've slipped into a country-side dream. Over the last two years this modern mansion has been lovingly restored, keeping our guests' needs as our highest priority. In each room you will find a mix of custom, vintage, and modern furniture. Designed by a renowned New York City architect and interior designer, Villa Terra is a luxurious sanctuary for those looking for their country escape without sacrifice of comfort.

Please take a moment to watch a video tour of the property here! https://youtu.be/JbWPgo8xpKU

Each guest room is appointed with brand new fresh linens, sitting areas, and light-filled views of the surrounding landscape. You will have access to lightening fast internet, Sonos sound systems in every room, and Aesop spa products in every bathroom. 'Boy Smells' candles are in every room, please be conscientious when burning them and blow them out when you leave the room!

In the master quarters (over 1000sqft) you will have access to a brand new cedar rock steam sauna that has been custom built with components flown in from Germany. Sit and soak while you look out onto the spectacular nature on the grounds of the property.

The Wabi-Sabi inspired living room features Piumino sitting chairs and custom furniture crafted by local artisans specifically for Villa Terra. A Giant 65" flatscreen TV and roaring fireplace will keep you warm and cozy on those cool country nights.

On the expansive grounds you will find two fire pits with large sitting areas for relaxing and enjoying the dramatic sunsets we see at the property. There is a private area down by the creek, where you can sit and listen to the soothing sounds of Cooks creek, a beautiful river perfect for taking a dip! There is also a pétanque court (for the competitive!), a pond, and sunbathing area with brand new Italian designer furniture. Outside you will also have use of a six burner barbecue and outdoor dining table for meals under the country sky.

The full chefs kitchen is appointed with Miele appliances, a Sub-Zero fridge, and Viking Dual burner stove/oven and range hood. There is silverware and enough place settings for 10 guests. There is a brand new Nespresso machine and pods for your lazy mornings in, and a vitamix blender for green smoothies or cocktails!

The moroccan soaking tub in the downstairs guest room is perfect for enjoying the view of the pond and large open-air arch as the evening light pours through the windows. Heated floors throughout the villa mean that you never have to feel cold feet! Each room also has their own A/C Heat split system so that you can further adjust the temperature to your liking.

In the loft you will find four (4) single beds, perfect for a bunch of kids (or adults) to crash out. There are plenty of extra linens and pillows to make this room truly the perfect place to sit and read a book or watch a movie. You have a lovely view from the enormous custom daybed out over to the surrounding grounds.

The Sonos system can be controlled via the Sonos App, and each room can be isolated so that each guest can enjoy their own music and domain.

In the basement you will find a state of the art Samsung washer and dyer to do your laundry during your stay.

Please read my guidebook for a huge list of amazing things to do in the surrounding areas! For winter visitors, Villa Terra has more than 5 ski and tubing parks within a 30 minute drive! It's the perfect getaway whether you'd like to kick back and relax or hit the outdoor activities.

** Please note that Villa Terra is a BRAND NEW LISTING! We have only just finished our renovations and you will be one of the first few people to enjoy this lovely home. As such, do not be alarmed that there are few reviews, they are certainly on the way :)

Stunning Home!
Our family had a wonderful vacation at Villa Terra! We enjoyed relaxing on the patio, deck by the creek and fire pit, walking around the property and catching glimpses of the wildlife. The house itself is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. Ryan was great to work with. We hope to visit this wonderful home again in the future.

Absolutely perfect
This was the PERFECT place to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday! We had an amazing weekend. The house and property are even more beautiful that the pics on the site. The owner was awesome with communication and answered all of our questions before booking. Hope to return to this property one day !

Great Stay
Had a great time at the place, had lots of room and many different features to enjoy from the fire pits, grille, stream, large kitchen and dining area to just the bedrooms themselves and the interesting different showers. Had a great stay here just hanging out here with friends for a weekend away from NYC.

I am an avid traveler and a huge advocate for luxury holiday rentals! I believe that my guests deserve the very best experience and I will do everything to make sure you have a wonderful stay at Villa Terra :)

Why they chose this property

Villa Terra has been a labor of love! I've spent the last year meticulously renovating this castle-like property into the ideal travelers' retreat. No cost was spared to ensure your stay is nothing short of a five star boutique hotel experience! Driving down the private lane looking out unto the 18 acres of pristine nature that comprise the villa grounds, you instantly feel a sense of privacy and calm. Bring nothing but your guests and enjoy!

What makes this property unique

From the brand new linens, towels, Aesop products in every room, Boutique candles, private sauna, fire pits, patios and swimming areas, vintage designer furniture and full chef's kitchen, Villa Terra has everything you need for the perfect getaway! My house manager will manage the check-in process and make sure everything goes smoothly. Upon request and for an additional fee, we can arrange a masseuse, chef, driver etc.
