1077 River Road, Red Hook, NY 12507

Historic house with two barns, Catskill Mountain views, river hamlet between Rhinebeck and Hudson, minutes from Bard College, easy NYC commute. In the heart of the Hudson River estate region, where two of the Valley's prettiest scenic byways meet, this well-preserved farmhouse harbors history in every corner. Featured in Elle Decor, the house is full of beautiful architectural details dating back to the 1860s. The wide front porch offers mountain views. Inside, the kitchen features vintage fixtures in excellent working order and enough space for a farm table seating 10. The formal dining room and living room balance on either side of the center stair hall. Two additional sitting rooms and a half bath round out the first floor. Upstairs includes three good-sized bedrooms, a large storage space that makes a perfect office, plus one full bath. The barns - formerly a blacksmith shop and general store - have great potential, one of them most recently used as an artist studio. Located on The Greenway, The Empire State Trail, and a designated bicycle, scenic and historic route; a short walk to hiking trails and the Hudson River; a short drive to Amtrak, Tivoli, Red Hook and Bard's cultural amenities; 90 minutes via the Taconic Pwy to midtown Manhattan. The ideal country retreat.
