The unmatched serenity of this 26+ acre property affords complete privacy and restorative powers. A perfect weekend home, or full time residence only 90 minutes from Manhattan.Special features abound in every corner of the property:The main house, of rural Georgian architecture, is particularly unique for a house of that period, as it is set far back from the main road. There is virtually no other stone house of this age, in excellent condition, on a property of significant acreage to be found. The extensive renovation, completed in 2013, included such thoughtful details as replacing new hardware and fixtures with antiques throughout, restoring antique floor stencils in all rooms, adding custom made kitchen cabinets of 150 year old wood to match the room's original trim. This is a dream country kitchen with a cozy fireplace, ample room for informal meals, a fabulous Aga stove and multi season porch overlooking the rolling fields.All infrastructures have been carefully replaced or updated, including plumbing, electric, water; walls and ceilings replaced or resurfaced, windows replaced with antique glass, all stone walls repointed inside and out.A short walk down a garden path and through an iron gate to the artist's studio, where an addition onto the original horse barn was built in 1993, using wood and steel construction and reclaimed wood from local 19th century barns. It features a dramatic beamed high ceiling, original tack room wall, commanding fireplace, full bath, and kitchen. Could be a fabulous studio, office or guest quarters. A bit farther down the path is the cedar sided guest house, built in 1993 entirely of reclaimed wood and antique hardware from 18th and 19th century homes and barns. A rustic, luxurious space with full kitchen, living room with oversized brick fireplace, bath, bedroom and loft master bedroom also with fireplace. A screened in porch offers relaxation and pastoral views. The grounds have been beautifully landscaped, lawns recaptured, all new hand-cut horse fencing, posts and gates installed, handcrafted stone walls added and stone pillars built at the entry to the property.
