Available for the first time in more than 50 years, the meticulously restored 1753 Petrus Hoffman House presents your chance to own one of the Hudson Valley's most remarkable stone-house estates. Set far back from the road atop a high ridge with panoramic four-season views of the Catskill mountains, the property is minutes from the Tivoli village center, Bard College, Rhinebeck and Hudson, and features no less than four separate buildings. The main stone house, built by the son of a prosperous local merchant, features a symmetrical center hall flanked by formal living and dining rooms, each with original fireplaces, plus a modern kitchen on the ground floor and four bedrooms upstairs. The house has been masterfully restored to showcase unusually high ceilings with beaded beams, period mantles, wide-board floors, working Dutch doors, and 12-over-12 windows, all documented and preserved. But don't think you'll be living like an early Dutch settler. In addition to a new roof, updated systems include new electrical wiring, central air-conditioning, septic, well, a back-up generator and an above-ground oil tank. The house is situated in the middle of almost 35 acres of farmland and also boasts a Victorian carriage barn with cupola and four horse stalls, plus paddocks, a run-in shed, a picturesque willow-tree-draped pond, and a charming standalone artist studio. There's also a separately parceled 2-bedroom, 1-bath Cape Cod style house, built in 1900, perfect for staff, overflow guests or rental income. And the entire property lies within an Agricultural District, with field-lease arrangements in place that significantly reduce property taxes. It's a combination of history, expert preservation, views and privacy virtually impossible to replicate, and only two hours by car or Amtrak from Manhattan.
