For those who comb the Hudson Valley or rural Connecticut for historic properties in excellent condition, this new listing in Pine Plains is a stunning find. Built in the 1830s and impeccably restored to exude warm sophistication, the Colonial farmhouse has just the right amount of character and modernity for today’s luxury living. But, it will cost you. The home, perched on 9.6 secluded acres, is asking $4.395 million.
A long driveway takes you past open pastures and leads you to the endearing farmhouse residence adjacent to a large red barn, reformatted and designed to be lived in. Does it get more picturesque than that in the countryside?
Stepping into the main house, an elegant and bright living room with a stately fireplace greets you immediately. Strolling on, the light green kitchen matches that classic style but with a notable contemporary and fresh twist, and plenty of professional-grade appliances. In total, the Colonial has an unexpected seven bedrooms, with three of them situated in an attached apartment tucked away for guests.
Nearby, more friends and family can immerse themselves in the farm experience by staying in the barn. Fully finished, it holds another three-bedroom apartment and even a gym with a sauna where a new owner can retreat for wellness. Further structures with purpose include the two-car garage with storage above, the yoga studio, and another barn/workshop for tinkering away on hobbies.
Of course, you can still live out the farming fairytale on this property. With sprawling land and room to build stables, bringing your goats, cows, and chickens won’t be a problem.
