Welcome to Near Farm, a historic farm in Red Hook, New York, constructed by master craftsmen in the 1840s with roots dating back to the Palatine era of the late 1700s. Meticulously restored and landscaped by the current owner, this farmhouse has been upgraded to the highest standards while preserving its historic character. The house is situated on a promontory overlooking a pond, and the driveway entrances are marked by two magnificent old red barns. There are two driveways: one leading to the house and the other to the farm. Upon approaching the house, one is immediately enveloped by a sense of serenity and tranquility. Mass plantings of Viburnum, Hibiscus, and Hydrangeas frame the freshly landscaped lawn, creating an immersive experience that blooms throughout the summer season. The interior of the house is a testament to meticulous restoration. Throughout the house, the original wide-board floors have been liberated from the accumulated layers over the years and are resplendent in their restored glory. The walls are professionally finished with diamond plaster, polished to perfection, and adorned with a modern neutral color palette. The French doors on the first floor impart an airy and free-flowing ambiance, allowing natural light to penetrate unobstructed. The spacious kitchen boasts leathered Taj Mahal quartzite countertops and a large waterfall island with seating. Sub-Zero and Wolff appliances are integrated, and a separate pantry is provided. Large glass sliding doors offer access to the south-facing stone patio. The kitchen, dining room, and living room all feature functional fireplaces. A unique and unusually wide center hallway exudes a grandeur uncommon to farmhouses of this era. Upstairs, the obtrusive low ceilings characteristic of homes of this period have been replaced by a spacious and light-filled hallway. It accommodates four bedrooms, two of which feature ensuite bathrooms, and is finished to perfection with contemporary touches. Near Farm has undergone a comprehensive modernization transformation, becoming a fully integrated smart home. This transformation includes a 13 kilowatt solar array, geothermal HVAC system (eliminating the use of fossil fuels), a new hydrostatic well pump, a comprehensive whole-house humidification system, a whole-house hot water recirculation system for instantaneous hot water, a 30-gallon-per-day reverse osmosis drinking water system, heated bathroom floors, Lutron Caseta smart switches, security cameras, and a doorbell, all of which are controlled through the Google/Apple Home app. On the farm side, the property encompasses 60 acres of open farmland divided into two levels: a 30-acre flat farm field, ideal for a horse facility, and another 30 acres featuring rolling meadows with breathtaking sunset views. The farm is equipped with its own electric service and a well. Additionally, there are numerous barns, sheds, and outbuildings. Hapeman Hill Road is strategically located, providing easy access to Red Hook, Rhinebeck, Tivoli, and the Taconic State Parkway. Furthermore, it is situated near the Fisher Performing Arts Center at Bard College. Broker owned, Ag. Exempt. Owner willing to subdivide.
