Overview

Description

Step inside a rare piece of Hudson Valley history, welcome to The Rifton, a meticulously restored 1870s church in Ulster Park, New York, just minutes from the vibrant city of Kingston. This extraordinary converted church blends historic architecture with modern luxury, creating a truly one-of-a-kind home that has captured global attention as a design-forward retreat, weekend getaway, and high-performing investment property featured in publications like Dwell Magazine, and Hgtv. The dramatic great room features soaring 30-foot ceilings, original exposed wood beams, and preserved stone walls that showcase the building's heritage. A custom wood-burning stone firepit anchors the living space, while oversized glass doors open to an elevated deck with serene, treehouse-like views. The home offers 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, ideal for hosting or private escapes. A fully renovated kitchen and spa-like bathrooms provide modern comfort, while details like a vintage clawfoot tub maintain the home's timeless character. A dedicated studio, gallery, or office wing offers flexible space for artists, creatives, or remote work - making this property equally suited as a full-time residence, luxury weekend home, or income-generating investment. Located in Ulster Park in the heart of the Hudson Valley, this property offers easy access to Kingston's thriving food, art, and cultural scene. Minutes from the Rondout waterfront, historic Stockade District, and local favorites like Rough Draft Bar & Books and Brunette Wine Bar. Just 90 minutes from New York City and approximately 30 minutes to Metro-North access, this location offers the perfect blend of convenience and escape. Whether you're searching for a unique historic home in the Hudson Valley, a converted church property, or a turnkey short-term rental investment, The Rifton is a rare opportunity to own a truly iconic upstate New York property.
