Welcome to Farview -one of the finest examples of the Neo-Gothic style of architecture in the Hudson Valley. Designed and built by renowned architect, A.J. Downing in 1848, this solid brick mansion sits on the highest point of the historic Van Loon family lands. Sited up a long drive off Route 385 in Athens, the gracious home is centered on 3.2 private acres and is sandwiched between the Hudson River and the beautiful Sleepy Hollow Lake. The six bedroom / six bathroom home offers four floors of living space including grand proportions on the first floor - ideal for entertaining. The flexible layout also has multiple entry points delineating sections of the home (including the entire 4th floor) for easy investment / rental opportunity. Light streams in from the floor-to-ceiling windows on the main floor, which also features an extraordinary, oversized dining room with fireplace. While Farview is completely independent with its own private driveway, it does have Sleepy Hollow Lake's sewer and water services as well as full membership to their numerous recreational amenities. These include lake/beach access, two pools, tennis, pickle-ball and clubhouse. Across the street and through the Scenic Hudson's Forever Wild Nature Preserve is a Hudson River kayak & boat launch. The Catskill Mountain ski resorts of Windham and Hunter Mountain are 30 minutes away and Amtrak and the town of Hudson are only15 minutes from Farview.Whether you are searching for a historic home, weekend compound or an investment property with unlimited possibilities, Farview's location, historic uniqueness and year-round activities make this the perfect home.
