Step back in time with this enchanting antique farmhouse nestled on a sprawling 14-acre semi-rural retreat. This historical gem, built in the early 1800s, captures the rustic elegance of a bygone era while offering a tranquil sanctuary for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike. Once the cherished residence of Jody Wolcott Carson (Johnny Carson's first wife) and Donald Bright Buckley, an original ''Mad Men'' era luminary, this home has been lovingly maintained since passing to the current owners in 1972. The estate boasts an iconic large red barn, adding to the picturesque charm of the property. Explore the natural grandeur of the land, from the serene pond with its thriving wildlife, including Wide Mouth Bass, turtles, and blue herons, to the diverse horticultural collection featuring Sweetgum, Dawn Redwood, Dolgo Crabapples, Copper Beech and many other specimen trees. Enjoy summer days in the unique cement pool, which is partially shaded by a majestic Weeping Hemlock. Inside, the home features two inviting fireplaces and a tavern room, creating the perfect ambiance for cozy evenings. The studio/music room dazzles with a cathedral ceiling, a spiral staircase, leading to a sleeping loft, and an oversized arched paned window, complemented by a chandelier from the Biltmore in Manhattan. The kitchen, adorned with a cast iron cook stove, and the screened-in north facing porch add to the home's period charm. With a semi-circle driveway and room for two cars in the barn, the property proximity to both Woodstock and Saugerties, this home offers both seclusion and convenience. Discover a peaceful lifestyle surrounded by natural beauty and history at this Saugerties treasure. Welcome to your own slice of the Hudson Valley, where the past is your present.
