Pasture Rock Milan, NY
Pursuing a dream he’s had since he was a grad student at MIT, architect and developer David Borenstein is creating an upscale ecofriendly community of private, sophisticated, state-of-the-art dwellings in the Hudson Valley.
Pasture Rock, situated in Milan, in northern Dutchess County, is just minutes from Rhinebeck and upscale shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and the Bard Performing Arts Center. It’s close to the Amtrak station, where Manhattan is a 1.5-hour ride away—as well as local ski areas, and Great Barrington, MA. The Albany and Stewart airports are an hour away.
Approved for 12 parcels, the development has three houses built (one family purchased two lots for additional privacy). The most recent, Pasture Rock 4, is fully completed on the outside, and waiting for a buyer to choose his or her own interior details and finishes including storage options, fixtures, flooring, cabinets, tiles, and more. Borenstein is planning eight more homes to complete this woodland sanctuary.
Each house is site-specific, distinctive, roughly 4,000 square feet, and built according to the needs of each homeowner with a high degree of personal attention. Each is built with energy efficiency in mind, with oriented passive solar, solar hot water, long overhangs that keep the house cool in summer, and a very tight building envelope. Pasture Rock 4, anticipating a 5-star EnergyStar rating and LEED Platinum certification, will have a gourmet kitchen, ground-floor master suite with steam bath and whirlpool, large living room/dining room, gas fireplace, three to four bedrooms, three full baths, and one powder room.
A lifetime roof, low-maintenance siding (50-year limited warranty), geothermal options, and reclaimed water options are also offered. Borenstein uses recycled materials, from the stonework to reclaimed objects, where possible. The houses are country sophisticated, “with modern conveniences and historic details.” The cost of a Pasture Rock home starts at $150/square foot.
