The Smithfield Valley is possibly the most sought after address in the Millbrook Hunt Country. It is an incredibly picturesque area, a lovely melding of large estates, farms, agricultural fields, and woodlands. Many of the early 1800's homes still grace the hillsides. Much of the land in the area is protected by easements granted to the Dutchess Land Conservancy.

This tract of 11.17 acres rises gradually from the Smithfield Road to a nice height. There is a small ornamental pond by the entranceway and several fenced horse paddocks before one arrives at the cottage and stable, not at all visible from the road. The home has a large combination living room, dining room, and kitchen. There are two bedrooms and a full bath. The spacious deck is delightful to sit on and enjoy the fine sunsets across the valley. The five stall barn is complemented by three paddocks and a riding ring.
