Set along a quiet country road overlooking two wildlife-filled ponds, this exceptional 1893 farmhouse is offered for the first time in 25 years. On 4.6 sub-dividable acres, this property blends natural beauty with thoughtful, long-term stewardship. A two-story addition enhances the home with a light-filled kitchen and bedroom above. The
kitchen's window-wrapped corner captures pond views, creating a coveted daily backdrop. Inside, antique hardwood floors and substantial oak ceiling beams echo the home's historic roots. A sculptural, rough-edge granite island anchors the kitchen, complemented by stainless steel appliances and an open flow into the dining and living areas.
The main bathroom features a shower room designed for comfort and style, along with radiant heat flooring. The first-floor full bath features a soaker tub with a private toilet area. Recent mechanical upgrades include an energy-efficient heat pump providing central air and
supplemental heating (2024), as well as a tankless Navian hot water system (2025), ensuring year-round efficiency. A whole-house Generac generator for peace of mind powers the majority of the home when needed. For your furry friends, a 2-acre invisible DogWatch system is
installed. The septic field and D-box were replaced in 2025-26. On the property, you'll find a small barn (as-is) with electricity, structurally stabilized, offering
endless potential as a studio, guest space, workshop, or gardener's retreat. The grounds bloom with established perennial gardens featuring deer-resistant plantings. Ideally located just over 15 minutes from Poughkeepsie and the Metro-North station, Kingston, New Paltz, and Rosendale. The property offers easy access to outdoor destinations such as
Shaupeneak Ridge Park, Mohonk Preserve, Walkway Over the Hudson, and Wallkill Valley Rail Trail, as well as popular local hospitality spots including End Cut Restaurant, Red Maple Vineyard, and Hudson House Distillery. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence or a weekend escape, this distinctive property
offers a rare combination of privacy, character, and Hudson Valley charm.
