The Country Manor in Kerhonkson
Set upon on a hill, surrounded by old stone walls and 13.5 private wooded acres, The Country Manor in Kerhonkson is a rare upstate compound with scale and character. Composed of a gracious 1920s Colonial farmhouse, guest cottage, ''low'' livestock barn, small paddock, and in-ground pool, the property unfolds across a secluded landscape of mature evergreens, fruit trees, and expansive meadow views. With no neighbors in sight, it is a place to gather and retreat, for weekends away or everyday life, with room for a little bit of everything and everyone.
The large main house is filled with the details that make an old country home feel enduring - a foyer, high ceilings, large rooms and plaster walls which are complemented by generous living spaces, original built-ins and hardwood floors throughout. The living room features beamed ceilings, a bay window, and a fireplace with wood burning stove anchors the home with warmth and texture and steps out to the covered and uncovered front porch overlooking the pool and grounds.
The house offers a first-floor bedroom and full bath, a butler's pantry adds another touch of classic country-house character and connects beautifully to the covered side patio porch for dining al fresco. The second floor has an office that walks through to a separate study. There are an additional four bedrooms, bath and a full unfinished attic that offers substantial storage and future possibilities, while the full basement includes a root cellar, workshop and dedicated wine storage.
Beyond the main residence, a former barn has been transformed into a charming guest cottage with a full kitchen and bathroom with laundry. The studio style guest house offers a private retreat for visitors, groundskeeper or au pair. The space can easily be imagined as a dedicated studio or workspace, or simply used for rental income. Below, an original stone walled garage and storage for yard and pool equipment.
Nearby, a long, low barn and adjacent paddock bring a distinctly pastoral element to the grounds, with an ideal setup for hobby farming and smaller livestock such as sheep, goats or a miniature horse! The barn also lends itself to be a chic gardening shed or a workshop for creatives.
The property and outdoor spaces truly add a bit of magic to the essence of the home. A series of covered porches, a pea gravel dining area, in ground pool, a stone patio with a firepit, fruit trees, the lilac and fern garden forest, and the impressive perched view off the back of the house, which elevate the setting and prestige of the manor.
Both the main house and guest cottage have new roofs and updated systems adding an important layer of practicality to the property's historic character. Together, the buildings and grounds create something more compelling than a house with acreage - a true country compound. The Country Manor in Kerhonkson is a distinctive Hudson Valley property where history, hospitality, land and leisure come together to create that charmed and quintessential life, upstate.
Kerhonkson sits at the foot of the Shawangunk Ridge, with Minnewaska State Park Preserve, Mohonk Preserve, the O&W Rail Trail and Sundown Forrest all nearby for easy access to nature and outdoor activities. The property is close to locally made good, dining and shopping being under 15 mins to Ravenswood, Mill and Main restaurant, Rough Cut Brewery, Accord Market, Kelder's Farms, Arrowwood, and INNESS Upstate Wellness Retreat & Spa
