A Home Steeped in History & Natural Beauty

The main house is a carefully crafted country retreat, expanded over time while still preserving its historic roots. With origins dating back to the late 1800s, the home seamlessly blends old-world charm with modern comfort. The farmhouse showcases hand-hewn post and beam construction, a magnificent stone fireplace sourced from the nearby Esopus Creek, and an expansive wall of windows that flood the space with natural light and stunning views. Beyond the farmhouse kitchen, a sun-drenched solarium leads to a sleek, vaulted addition with floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a warm and inviting space perfect for gathering, unwinding by the wood-burning stove, or finding inspiration at your writing desk overlooking the grounds.

Outside, a wrap-around stone porch adorned with a 50-year-old wisteria vine offers the perfect perch to witness picturesque sunrises and sunsets over the pond and surrounding forest. The landscape feels like an extension of the home, with lush gardens, scenic walking paths, and inviting sitting areas ideal for outdoor dining, quiet reflection, or simply soaking in the natural splendor.

An Intimate Retreat & Endless Possibilities.

For recreation and wellness, enjoy the regulation tennis court, various hiking trails, heated saltwater pool, and the zen meditation area overlooking the stream and waterfall, all providing opportunities to engage both mind and body in this idyllic setting.

Nestled at the base of the driveway, an intimate guest cottage offers endless possibilities; an ideal space for visiting guests, an art studio, or a private office. A tranquil escape where creativity and relaxation flourish. This is not just a home; it’s an experience, a way of life. A rare opportunity to step away from the chaos of the modern world and into a realm of peace, beauty, and to immerse yourself in nature.
