An incredible 188 acre property on a highly desirable rural road in the heart of the rolling farmlands of Columbia County. Spectacular west facing views make for incredible sunsets over the Catskill Mountains, the Hudson Valley spreads out beneath them. The acreage includes pastoral farm fields, largely maintained by the neighboring biodynamic farm, forest, and a beautiful swimming pond to cool off on a hot summer’s day. The c1920 Dutch farmhouse is set nicely back from the quiet road, a row of privet has been planted for complete privacy. The 2,400 square foot home has retained many original details with its hardware, moldings and wideboard plank floors. It’s copper roof is both rare and fabulous. Inside, you’ll find stone walls, two fireplaces and spectacular views from nearly every window. There are three bedrooms upstairs including a beautiful primary suite with exposed beams and a roof deck overlooking the bucolic property. The historic granary has been reimagined into a 1,350 sq ft two bedroom guest house with a full kitchen, exposed hand hewn beams and a fireplace. The original Dutch tenon beam barn has spectacular presence, it’s scale is large and beautiful on the land, tucked in amongst the perennial gardens. It makes for a fabulous place to entertain a crowd. 15m to Hudson/Amtrak/Kinderhook and in close proximity to the fabulous farm stores and farm-to-table restaurants that make this area renowned. 2.5h to NYC.
