Sky Farm Modern: A Will Meyer House on 4.74 Acres, in Copake

Will Meyer is one of the more recognized architects working in Columbia County, and 312 Sky Farm Road is a 2006 house that makes his approach to the region clear. The structure is a dark horizontal volume—concrete, Hardiboard, stone, and glass—with a white cube punching through the center to house. It's the kitchen, beside a cutout in the mass that forms a covered carport.

Inside, the house is organized as a single floor around a long gallery hallway. At the center, the living room opens through a full wall of glass to a deck over the treetops, with seasonal views to Copake Lake visible through the canopy. A suspended wood-burning fireplace hovers in space. Wide-plank ash floors run throughout. The kitchen, in the white cube, is equipped with a gas cooktop and built-in appliances and sits at the heart of the house with woodland light on all sides.

The primary suite at one end has a soaking tub, en-suite bath, and its own wall of glass opening to a private deck. Down the hall, two bedrooms share a full bath and a sauna. At the opposite end, a guest suite with corner-wrapped glass walls and its own en-suite bath functions independently from the rest. A circular staircase descends to a finished lower room with cork flooring, walk-out access and storage. The house sits on 4.74 private acres with a generator and a security system in place.

Copake Lake, Taconic State Park, and Catamount are all close. Hudson and Great Barrington are each under 30 minutes away.
