An exceptional opportunity to own an 1850s colonial on a park-like, 50-acre Estate outside Red Hook. Set on a quiet, pretty, tree-lined lane, this property has been in the same family for almost 100 years. The house, framed by glorious old-growth oaks, sits on a wide lawn which slopes down to a large spring-fed pond. The house itself has beautiful old bones; lovely light; hardwood floors; molded archways; pocket doors and screened porches. It offers an elegantly proportioned and much-loved place to live right away - and the inviting prospect of a rewarding renovation project to make it spectacularly handsome. Behind the house, the land rises gently through old-growth woodland. Winding, sun-dappled hiking and riding trails encourage exploration of the land, where some might be excited by the opportunity to build something new on the property's higher ground. There's a large barn with chicken coops and garage parking, and a small two-bedroom guesthouse, each ready to make your own. The property is in a truly wonderful position. Located in Columbia County with its highly advantageous tax rates relative to nearby counties, it's completely quiet but only a 5-minute drive to the Taconic Parkway(2 hours to NYC). 13 minutes to Red Hook. 14 minutes to Tivoli. 25 minutes to Rhinebeck and Hudson. 4 bedrooms; 2 bathrooms; 3,131 square feet.,AboveGrade:3131,MISCELANES:Fixer Upper,FLOORING:Wide Board,Wood,EQUIPMENT:Carbon Monoxide Detector,Smoke Detectors,Level 1 Desc:KITCHEN, DINING, LIVING, DEN, FULL BATHROOM,Level 2 Desc:4 BEDROOMS, FULL BATHROOM,ROOF:Asphalt Shingles,FOUNDATION:Stone Additional Information: Amenities:Guest Quarters,
