A Minimalist Home in Upstate New York Channels Its Natural Surroundings

36 Fox Lane in Tivoli, New York, is currently listed at $2,750,000 by Four Seasons Sotheby's International Realty.

Tucked away in the rolling hills of bucolic Germantown sits Fox Hollow, a new 12-home community in Hudson Valley. Helmed by Arcus Development, Fox Hollow embraces minimalism and contemporary architecture while honoring the region’s agrarian character. A model of the community’s newest launch, RIFT, is fully completed and available now to tour. 

An exquisite single-story structure, RIFT offers a considered solution for simple yet refined living. This four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom home is laid out across 2,675 square feet and designed with a minimalist silhouette that plays artfully against the rolling hillside of the five-plus-acre lot. 

Inspired by Scandinavian architecture, RIFT incorporates a singular material—white oak—throughout all the interior finishes, tying the spaces together with rustic warmth. The airy, open-plan great room is grounded by an inviting wood stove at the center, while floor-to-ceiling glass walls frame the view of an optional in-ground pool and the countryside beyond. 

Off of the great room is the expansive kitchen, a chef’s fantasy with its elegant and understated design where form follows function. At the far end of the space sits a primary suite complete with private office, walk-in closets, and full bath. Between the primary suite and the open living space are three generously-sized secondary bedrooms (one with en suite bath), an additional full bathroom with tub, and a cozy den. 

Adjacent to the open living space is a formal entrance way, half bath, and mudroom with laundry and ample storage. RIFT comes complete with a standalone carport and customizable additions such as a heated saltwater pool, a heated pavilion with outdoor kitchen, Delta Millworks black-stained cedar siding, an electric car charger, and more. 

Available in 2023, this home is just two hours from New York City and nestled between Hudson Valley’s river towns.
