170 Cummins Hill Rd, Milford, PA 18337

Available to rent starting November 1! Serious inquiries only please. A historic property with timeless elegance, Sylvan Ridge Farm is nestled into a wooded mountainside with sweeping views of the Delaware River Valley. The farmhouse and separate guest cottage date to the mid-1800s. Both have been fully renovated (2018) and are tastefully furnished in a modern farmhouse style. There is also a recently completed event barn on the property, which is not included in the rental. Several improvements (paving and lighting for the driveway/parking area, wheelchair ramp into the farmhouse) are scheduled for early autumn. A 6-person hot tub is being installed in October, just in time for those chilly fall & winter evenings! The farmhouse has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, four stone fireplaces, a fully equipped kitchen, numerous common spaces (one of which converts to an accessible fifth bedroom), and a wraparound porch. The layout is intuitive and inviting, with two staircases interconnecting upper and ground floors. Every room enjoys panoramic mountain & forest views. The master bedroom is particularly stunning, with its own original 19th c. stone fireplace, jaw-dropping views, mid-century California king bed, and attached designer bathroom. The adjacent cottage is a self-contained living space, ideal for grandparents, a nanny/housekeeper, or weekend visitors. It has a loft suite with wool blend carpeting, 1.5 bathrooms, a kitchenette, a living room with an electric fireplace and a sofa bed, and a small patio. In both buildings, each bedroom and common space has its own A/C and heating unit, for customizable climate throughout. The rental sits on 30 acres, which feature expansive lawns, a 20,000 gallon in-ground pool, a 6-person hot tub (pending October installation) raised flower beds, a butterfly garden, and a fire ring, all overlooking the view of the Delaware River Valley and Kittatinny Mountains beyond. Surrounding this homestead are 163 additional acres of the landowners' private, forested mountainside. Guests enjoy exclusive access to the entire pristine woodland, complete with three marked trails of varying difficulty that beckon to hikers, mountain bikers, hunters, birdwatchers, and nature lovers of all kinds. Best of all, the landowners are the only "neighbors," living a 10-minute walk up the hill. Unless you happen to bump into them out for a hike, you won't see another soul! Guests enjoy total solitude on the secluded acreage, yet the farm is only 10 minutes away from Interstate 84, with easy NYC access via train, bus, or car (90 min. to the George Washington Bridge/Lincoln Tunnel). The surrounding area has much to offer in any season. Sylvan Ridge Farm lies between historic Milford, PA and Port Jervis, NY, each a 10-minute drive away. Milford borders the north end of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, a 70,000-acre protected area that contains 40 miles of the Delaware River, nine impressive waterfalls, and roughly 150 miles of trails maintained by the National Park Service. For its part, Port Jervis boasts a first-class mountain biking locale, the Watershed, with 50 miles of trails of varying difficulty. There are also nearby options for river trips, fishing, golf, CrossFit, yoga, seasonal fruit picking, and cross-country & downhill skiing.
