132 Decker Road, Gallatin

132 Decker Road is a stunning Gothic Revival farmhouse of classic proportions. Built c1820 and set on five acres surrounded by 100 acres of protected land, the property includes a swimming pond and pastoral farmland views. The location in southern Columbia County is noteworthy for its lovely neighboring estates and quiet, tucked-in country roads. Hudson and Stissing House are both closeby. Inside, original details abound-- wide-plank floors, hand-hewn beams, and uncharacteristically high ceilings for a house of this age. The country kitchen has a Viking range, SubZero refrigerator and an indoor parilla for grilling over an open flame. The large and lightfilled living room is anchored by a wood burning fireplace, and you'll find a formal dining room & large study on the first floor. Upstairs there is a lovely primary suite with a full bath and a walk-in closet. Down the hall you'll find three additional bedrooms and a second full bath. The attic space has been finished for creative work and leaves room for future possibilities. Outside, the magic continues with a spring-fed swimming pond, dock and rowboat, meadows, private trails, and a huge barn-like garage that could easily be converted into a guest cottage, studio, or gym. 132 Decker is a fabulously authentic farmhouse, beautifully maintained in the original farmhouse tradition, sweet as can be and less than two hours from NYC and 20m to Amtrak.
