Property Description

Welcome to Madalin Estate, a 79-acre compound across three parcels at the end of a private dead-end gravel road in Clermont, just minutes from the village of Tivoli, with 500 feet of frontage along the Roeliff Jansen Kill. At its heart is a sun-filled 1960 contemporary, a 3,370-square-foot home with five bedrooms and three baths. A 70-foot heated in-ground pool sits low in the meadow, a deep spring-fed pond is stocked with largemouth bass, and a grove of more than 100 dogwoods blooms each spring. A separate two-bedroom, one-bath cottage stands on a neighboring parcel beside the pond. The three tax parcels include 26.20 acres with the main house, 19.13 acres with the cottage and pond, and 33.67 acres of mature hardwood forest.Clean, light-colored walls, sloping rooflines, and a tall sculptural chimney give the main house a distinctly modern look. A curved wall encloses the front courtyard, where an outdoor fireplace is built into the base of the chimney, and leads to a deeply recessed entry and heavy wood door. Inside, the skylit entry opens to bright living spaces framed by large casement windows. The sunken living room gathers around a fireplace, and a den offers a quieter retreat. The kitchen pairs white flat-front cabinetry with butcher block counters and an island fitted with a gas cooktop beneath a stainless hood. A stacked pair of wall ovens is built into one wall, and the dining area is wrapped in a run of tall windows looking into the trees.A tucked-away bird's nest room at the very top of the house makes a natural bedroom, reading perch, or studio. Front and rear decks look out over the gardens and grounds toward the pond. Outside, mature hardwood forest gives way to open fields and meadows crossed by fieldstone walls. Flower gardens frame the front and back of the house, along with an apple orchard, peach trees, and a fenced garden with raised beds and a shed. The still surface of the pool reflects the surrounding trees, and a dedicated 200-amp service is already in place for a future pool house. In winter, the pond freezes for skating. A treehouse and the stretch of the Roe Jan offer more to explore, and each spring the woods yield ramps and morels.Recent improvements include a new roof in 2024 and the upstairs bedroom addition in 2016. In 2008, the kitchen and skylit entry were added, the primary bedroom and bath were fully renovated, and a radiant floor heating system was installed in the kitchen, mudroom, primary bedroom, and bath. A Tesla charger is on site. Farther down the private drive,
