Welcome to Bontecou Farm, a true legacy property nestled in the ideal New Paltz location. Fully updated and renovated in 2018, this circa 1705 compound is nestled on a serene riverfront setting. The farm blends historical elegance with modern comforts, creating an atmosphere of peace and character. Spanning 88-acre pristine acres, the property features meadows, pastures, vast fields, stone walls, a pond, fruit trees, and impeccable landscaping. A fully operational farm since the 1700's, crops such as hops, hay, strawberries, apricots, cherries, pears, apples, and corn have cultivated here. It was also once home to 100 black angus cattle. Multiple mature specimen trees can be found throughout the grounds as well. With minimal ownership in its storied history, this property is a rarity. The historic 5-bedroom, 3½-bathroom stone farmhouse, updated with modern amenities, enjoys abundant sunlight and breathtaking views of both the Wallkill River and Shawangunk Mountains. The brick fireplace provides cozy warmth, while original beamed ceilings and interior stone walls are a nod to the home's origins. The tastefully designed bathrooms mix antique charm and contemporary comfort with both clawfoot and spa-style tubs. Crisp custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, premium appliances, and exposed stone walls make the kitchen a dream for both the serious and casual cook, functionally and aesthetically. The equally elegant cottage, situated a few hundred yards from the main house, is equipped with a full kitchen, living room, bedroom, and 1½ bathrooms, making it perfect for hosting guests comfortably. There's also a classic Gambrel roof, Hudson Valley-style barn of nearly 4000 square feet, with three-phase electric, which could easily accommodate a dozen or more horse stalls or be adapted for other uses. Just minutes from New Paltz, Kingston, and the Mohonk Preserve, the property offers easy access to fine dining, boutiques, and outdoor adventures. Bontecou Farm has also thrived as a luxury short-term rental and premier wedding venue. Above all, Bontecou Farm exudes a unique energy that resonates deeply with those who visit. Guests of the farm frequently comment on the sense of tranquility and renewal they experience during their stay, often attributing this to the thoughtful design and natural beauty of the surroundings. Beautifully restored and full of character, Bontecou Farm is an outlier in elegance and class.
