Unusual Octagon Blends into Ghent’s Natural Landscape
This home for sale is strangely shaped and nicely placed.
The low, sprawling shape of this home in Ghent blends into its surroundings, with an octagonal central structure anchoring two long wings. Solar panels line part of the roof, and large windows look out onto a gently sloping lawn bordered by garden beds and trees. Set back from the road and surrounded by dense woods, the house feels private and tucked into the landscape.
Inside, the main living space is open and airy, with exposed wood beams and high ceilings that follow the roofline. Large windows bring in natural light, offering views of the surrounding greenery. The kitchen and dining area flow into this central space, while the bedrooms and additional living areas extend into the side wings, providing separation from the main gathering area.
Outside, the property includes a mix of open lawn, garden spaces, and wooded areas, creating a quiet, natural setting. Though it feels secluded, the house is a short drive from both Hudson and Chatham.
