Bucolic Contemporary on Shekomeko Creek

A contemporary estate set within working farmland. 476 Carpenter Hill Road in Pine Plains stretches across just over 19 acres of flat, fenced pasture, where a newly built house lays low along the landscape, beside the Shekomeko Creek.

Completed in late 2024, the property is a composed compound: a 4,103 square foot residence, a greenhouse conservatory, and a heated garage/studio with guest apartment potential, all arranged with a clear relationship to the surrounding fields. 

The architecture leans into agricultural modernism. Yaki sugi siding, polished concrete floors, and clerestory windows give the house a tactile quality, while walls of glass open outward to uninterrupted farmland views. The main living space is organized as a continuous volume—kitchen, dining, and living areas flowing together—anchored by custom cabinetry milled from trees on the property and concrete countertops. 

The layout includes four bedrooms and four baths, with two primary suites that function as independent retreats, each with wood-burning stoves and spa-like baths. Radiant floor heating, passive solar design elements, and high-efficiency systems keep the house comfortable. 

The acreage is fully fenced with white four-board fencing, suited for horses or small-scale agriculture, and includes a one-acre pond. The greenhouse extends the growing season, while the studio/garage structure adds real flexibility for work, guests, or equipment. 

476 Carpenter Hill Road, Pine Plains is listed for $3,495,000 by Rebecca Doh at William Raveis Lifestyles Realty.
