Peaceful Pound Ridge Summer Retreat w/ Pool & 5 Bedrooms, 65 min to NYC

One of the things we love most about living here is the balance of peace, nature, and convenience. Pound Ridge is known for its beautiful wooded landscapes, quiet roads, and charming small-town feel. Scotts Corners, the heart of Pound Ridge, has wonderful organic cafés, local shops, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Within about 15 minutes, you can enjoy the chic restaurants, boutiques, and lively downtown areas of New Canaan and Bedford. We also love being close to cultural destinations like Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts, just 8 minutes away, and Grace Farms, about 10 minutes away — a truly serene and special place with beautiful architecture, walking trails, art, and community events.

For more extensive shopping, dining, and entertainment, Stamford, Greenwich, and Mt. Kisco are all within about 20 minutes. And despite feeling like a peaceful countryside escape, Manhattan is only about 65 minutes away, making this an ideal location for remote work, hybrid commuters, or families wanting a relaxing summer while staying connected to the city.

What makes our home especially unique is the combination of modern design, natural light, and complete privacy surrounded by nature. The house was designed to feel open and connected to the outdoors, with large windows throughout and beautiful glass balconies wrapping around the home, allowing sunlight and forest views to pour into every space.

The centerpiece of the property is the large, heated pool, which becomes the heart of summer life here — perfect for relaxing afternoons, family time, and outdoor entertaining. During the summer months, the property feels incredibly private and peaceful, fully surrounded by woods so you rarely see neighboring homes. It truly feels like a secluded retreat while still being conveniently close to charming towns, restaurants, culture, and New York City.
