Overview
Nestled on the sun-drenched north side of the scenic Durham Valley, this 1790 farmhouse estate offers 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and sprawls across 126 acres steeped in bygone pastoral idyll. Once the heart of a dairy farm, the home's versatile footprint could potentially be reverted to its original configuration as a two-family residence. From the foyer, flanked by both a parlor and living room, you're immediately greeted by classic details like the original wide-plank hardwood floors. Off the dining room you'll find the modern galley kitchen, which flows into a Berkshire-facing sunroom a serene spot to enjoy your morning coffee. Proceed upstairs by one of two staircases; here you'll find capacious, bright bedrooms with spectacular views. A basement with original bluestone slabs is primed for wine storage and a tasting room. The home effortlessly blends historic charm with modern convenience and reliability thanks to updated mechanicals; 200 amp electric, Buderus boiler, a recently replaced roof, and an advanced water treatment system. This bucolic property offers incomparable views in every direction that extend south to the Catskills and east to the Berkshires. The historic charm is not confined to the residence; expertly laid fieldstone walls stretch across the fields. Abundant lilacs, tiger lilies, tulips, and mature fruit trees dot the verdant grounds. The hobby vineyard features a variety of grapes. In the creek you can find trout, while the pond is teeming with catfish. And above all, the varied landscape presents manifold wildlife encounters for you to enjoy; from foxes to the elusive bobolink. The electrified, 1800's former dairy barn is a canvas for your grand vision and is perfectly suited for a possible pool house. The topography lends itself to several other possible estate sites, including an elevated 14 acre field with Catskill viewshed and windbreaks for privacy. The property strikes the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility approximately 2.5hrs from Manhattan, 15mins Windham and 35 mins to Hudson and Amtrak. Whether you're seeking a private oasis or have an eye toward intrinsic value, this one-of-a-kind gem graciously awaits its next steward.
