36 Pilgrims Progress Rd

Perched at the top of a long winding drive and surrounded by woodland, this stunning new construction offers something genuinely rare: the feeling of a true country escape with the restaurants, shops, and culture of Rhinebeck just a four-minute drive away. The setting has a way of making the outside world feel very far off. Inside, the open layout was built for the way people actually want to spend a weekend together. The kitchen is a showpiece outfitted with an 8-burner Wolf range with pasta water spout, Sub-Zero appliances, a granite island, and a dedicated bar with ice maker. Someone is always cooking, someone is always catching up, and the two-sided gas fireplace keeps the whole group connected as the space flows into a soaring living room with vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling picture windows that frame the trees. When the evening calls for it, a covered outdoor room just off the dining area extends the party outside with a mounted TV and surrounding heaters. The whole home runs on Sonos throughout wired for both indoor and outdoor use, so the music follows you seamlessly from the kitchen to the back deck. Upstairs, an open loft with beamed ceilings and skylights serves as a luxurious media room, giving every group the gift of two living spaces at once: one group disappears upstairs with a movie while the others settle into the living room below, or the early risers grab coffee and the loft while everyone else sleeps in. The primary suite features an en suite bath with dual-head rain shower, steam, heated tile floors, and a TOTO Washlet smart toilet. A private rooftop deck just off the upper hallway offers two lounge chairs and a front-row seat to the sunset. On the first floor, a king bedroom opens via glass doors to the backyard fire pit, and a twin bedroom shares a full bath with double vanity. The surrounding countryside offers a beautiful country road for walking with sweeping mountain views, and local hiking areas are close by for those who want to earn their breakfast. A hot tub, outdoor shower, and sun deck round out the outdoor amenities. The basement will be equipped with a combination pool and ping pong table, and the home includes a one-car garage with interior access. For those arriving without a car, the Rhinecliff Amtrak station is nine minutes away, with direct service to New York City's Moynihan Train Hall in approximately one hour and 45 minutes. The city feels close enough to be convenient and far enough away to forget about it entirely. Offered for seasonal rental beginning May 15, 2026, on a month-to-month basis through 2026 and into 2027.
