An exceptional property with an outstanding landscape and a refined residence built in 1938 using architectural elements from an early 19th century mansion.

Every detail from silver-plated door knobs and key hole caps, to the window trim, moldings, mantels and paneled doors, have all been retained from the dismantled mansion and repurposed into this gracious architect designed house.

Set on the original stone foundation and now supported by steel beams the house is solid and uncompromising in its structural integrity. Seven bedrooms are well placed throughout the two residential floors, each with ample closet space and access to three full bathrooms. Large multi-paned windows with their original wavy glass offer incredible views of the landscaped property including a panoramic expanse of the Catskill Mountain range.

A charming two-bedroom guest cottage built in the English style and a caretaker’s apartment over a large garage building are near but not visible from the main house; each with their own well and septic. Other outbuildings include run-in sheds, a period granary, and several barns.

The one-hundred-plus acres are bordered on two sides by the rushing Taghkanic Creek complete with a favorite swimming hole. Bucolic farm roads meander through the property and are laced in ferns and native Trout Lillies each spring.

Privately set back from a country lane and up the long tree-lined drive, the property is professionally managed with a positive income stream with paddocks leased to a thoroughbred horse breeder and irrigated farm fields leased to a reputable organic farm operation. This unique fourth-generation family compound is on the market for the first time in over seventy-five years.

Minutes to Hudson and the Taconic parkway yet secluded and totally private. Additional contiguous land available.
