Yahoo Lifestyle This $9.7 Million Home Is Tucked Into a Members-Only Enclave in New York’s Hudson Valley
The Discovery Land Company, a real estate development operation with more than 30 private, members-only residential communities around the world, offers some of the most exclusive living experiences around the globe. From the storied Yellowstone Club in Wyoming to über-chic Baker’s Bay in the Bahamas, the company certainly knows how to entice a deep-pocketed clientele through its many golf offerings, outdoor pursuits, quality cuisine, and family programming. And it comes as no surprise the various developments attract A-list celebrities, athletes, and billionaires.
Silo Ridge Field Club, a bucolic 850-acre development in Amenia, New York, part of the historic and famously scenic Hudson Valley, is conveniently located less than two hours from Midtown Manhattan, making it an ideal playground for New York City residents seeking a secondary or tertiary home. The exclusive enclave opened its doors back in 2017, and the community offers a total of 245 residences among three categories: pre-built townhomes, cottages, and bare parcels for custom builds. One of the remaining custom parcels has now been built out with what’s known as Club Meadow 8, a crown jewel of Silo Ridge that’s offered for $9.7 million.

The home was designed by the architecture firm Hart Howerton, who is responsible for other homes at Silo Ridge, as well as some of the enclave’s communal structures and restaurants that reflect Hudson Valley’s low-key country-chic aesthetic. Throughout Silo Ridge, you can expect to find an array of charming cabins, farmhouse-inspired homes, and barn-like structures that house contemporary interiors with designer furnishings and top-of-the-line fixtures. Club Meadow 8 is no exception.
Sitting on just over half an acre and surrounded by rolling acreage, the home spans nearly 5,900 square feet with six bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and one powder room dispersed over three floors. The dark wood exterior pops against the natural surroundings, and vast expanses of glass overlook Oblong Lake, the property’s private manmade lake that’s stocked for fishing and equipped for swimming and water sports like kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding. The home, being sold fully furnished, is designed with a soft, neutral color palette filled with rich textures and natural materials.
Beyond the pint-sized front porch and the switchback staircase in the glass-walled foyer is the great room, where a flat-screen TV hangs over a linear fireplace in the lounge area and the clean-lined kitchen is decked out with state-of-the-art appliances and an island breakfast bar. Throughout the room are built-in shelves and cabinets, while floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors open onto a deck that wraps around to a covered dining patio with an outdoor fireplace and outdoor kitchen.

The primary bedroom is the only bedroom on the main floor and includes a comfortable sitting area, a walk-in closet, and a large bathroom. A powder room, mudroom, pantry, laundry, and an attached garage with storage complete the main floor. There are two en suite bedrooms on the top floor, plus a sitting/media room that can easily be transformed into an additional bedroom. Meanwhile, the lower level is like its own apartment, comprising a sprawling family room, two en suite bedrooms, and a private stone terrace.
At Club Meadow 8, you’re but a brief golf cart ride away—golf carts are complimentary upon purchasing a home at Silo Ridge—from the Family Barn, chock full of kid-friendly activities like a bowling alley and movie theater, and Ridge House, which offers an adults-only restaurant, a golf shop, and a large terrace with front-row views of the rolling hills of the Hudson Valley.
Discovery Land Company is renowned for its spectacular golf offerings, and Silo Ridge has an 18-hole Tom Fazio-designed championship golf course and a putting green. Among the many other amenities are an expansive garden (honey and eggs from the property are hand-delivered to residents weekly); sports courts for tennis, Padel, and pickleball; a family-friendly pool; several restaurants and a smoothie bar; a world-class equestrian center; and a cabin that acts as a home base for a variety of outdoor activities like skeet shooting, archery, and ATVing. And for those who prefer their exercise indoors, there’s also a comprehensive fitness facility.
