Newly renovated, this 1832 Georgian Colonial farm house nestled on 18 acres in Taghkanic, NY and conveniently located in the Hudson River Valley with towns like Hudson, Great Barrington, Hillsdale, Millerton, Tivoli and Rhinebeck nearby.
Our home is situated off the road up on a hill above a pond and small stream. The new kitchen includes custom shaker cabinets, soapstone countertops and all new Thermador appliances. The dining room features a custom farm table made with reclaimed barn wood over 100 years old, has exposed wood beam ceilings and a large brick fireplace. The living room is beautifully furnished with a large comfortable down sofa and two leather chairs.
There are three bedrooms, two furnished with queen sized Westin Heavenly beds. The master bedroom includes a kingsize bed and ensuite full bathroom. A second full bath is upstairs and half bath down. RH stone washed linens for all beds.
A short walk uphill from the house you will find a 200 year old post and beam barn – a great spot for summer bathing in the swimming pool or evening drink by the poolside fire pit. In the winter it’s a great location to sled from! We also have a large fire pit with 8 Adirondack chairs directly behind the house – a great place for roasting marshmallows and making ‘smores.
Hike along the mile long trail behind the house and catch beautiful sunsets looking out over the Catskills.
From this location you are just minutes from Hillsdale, NY, scenic hiking in the Berkshires, antique stores, local artisan shops, seasonal farm stands, and fine dining in local farm to table restaurants. There are also a number of great farms for shopping! A highlight of local attractions in include Copake Country Club at Copake Lake, Bash Bish Falls, the Harlem River Rail Trail, Taghkanic State Park, New Forge State Park, The Hill Rock distillery, and performances at Bard College, Jacob’s Pillow, Tanglewood, and Williamstown Theatre.
