About 221 Smith Clove Road
Welcome to a truly rare offering in Highland Mills, just moments from the prestigious Falkirk Estate and Country Club. This exceptional property brings the presence and sophistication of a Westchester and Bergen County home to the heart of Orange County—a distinction not often found in this region. Set on 6.5 lush, private acres, this 5,140+ square foot estate was thoughtfully built by the homeowner himself, a professional General Contractor, using only the finest materials to create his family’s dream residence—and now, it can become yours. The dramatic entry makes a lasting first impression, anchored by a grand center hall staircase handcrafted by the Blooming Grove Stair Company and framed by a stately Palladian window. Soaring 21-foot ceilings, rich custom moldings, and an elegant chandelier on a lift create a breathtaking welcome. Natural light floods every inch of the home throughout the day, thanks to oversized windows and 8’ Andersen glass doors in every direction, bathing the interior in warmth and serenity. A stunning two-story stacked stone fireplace serves as the focal point of the main living area, adding both visual impact and cozy charm. Just off the main living space, the formal dining room offers an air of distinction and timeless elegance. Framed by expansive windows that overlook the private backyard, the space is bathed in natural light and surrounded by nature. It’s adorned with intricate custom moldings and finished with a modern designer chandelier, creating the perfect setting for both intimate dinners and elegant entertaining. This is not just a dining area—it’s an experience, where every gathering feels elevated and refined.
The heart of the home is a show-stopping kitchen that could grace the pages of a design magazine—featuring a massive 12’ x 4’ marble island, two full-size Sub-Zero units (refrigerator and freezer), an 8-burner Wolf stove, beverage center with fridge, and a marble backsplash. Whether hosting holidays or casual evenings, this space comfortably accommodates everyone in true luxury. A stylish half bath with a marble vanity sits just off the main living space, and the spacious three-car garage opens directly into a functional mudroom for everyday convenience. The first floor also features a fabulous versatile ensuite with its own fireplace and walk-in shower—perfect as a guest suite, home office, or private retreat.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers double doors, tray ceilings, hardwood floors, and a spa-inspired bath complete with travertine tile, a jacuzzi tub, a rain showerhead, and marble accents. All additional bedrooms are generously sized with oversized closets, 2 additional guest baths 1 with subway tile and double sinks, the other with travertine tile completes the upper level.
