Hudson Valley Compound With a 225-Year-Old Farmhouse and One of the Prettiest Pool Houses Is Listed for $9.5 Million

A stunning 81.43-acre Hudson Valley compound with an 1800s farmhouse, luxurious pool house, guesthouse, and auto showroom has just hit the market in Stone Ridge, NY, for $9.5 million.

The picture-perfect property includes a large swimming pool surrounded by hydrangeas, rolling fields and meadows, tennis and basketball courts, hiking and biking trails, a pond, and two barns.

"The sellers have owned the property for 17 years and have cultivated it over the years," says listing agent Richard Vizzini, of Corcoran Country Living.

"When they were looking for this property, they were searching far and wide for something special. It was a completely wooded parcel when they bought it, and they continued to pick up additional parcels. The number of trees they have planted over the years is unbelievable, and the landscaping is just incredible."

Built in 1800, the three-bedroom farmhouse still boasts plenty of charm and period details, including wide-plank wood flooring, wood beams, vaulted ceilings, and built-ins.

A cozy living room has a wood-burning fireplace, and the updated kitchen now offers high-end appliances and an island with counter seating.

The sun-soaked primary bedroom has a private terrace overlooking the beautifully landscaped lot.

"I’d say the standout here really is the landscaping and the quality of the stonework with the bridges and walls," says Vizzini.

Designed for entertaining, a covered pergola adorned with grape vines and "shimmering lights" with an outdoor kitchen is the perfect spot for al fresco dining and soaking in the stunning scenery.

"You could use the property as a venue for weddings, events, or corporate retreats," says Vizzini. "It is a private residence now and has been used as a second home for the sellers, but it could also be a primary residence or transformed into a legacy compound."

Also out back are a sprawling patio with a fire pit, an upper-level covered lounge and dining area with a wood-burning fireplace, and a lower-level pool house.

“The attention to detail down to the pool house is just incredible, and the pictures really don’t do it justice," he says. "There was no budget when they created it. It’s truly as high-end as it gets."

The pool house has a covered patio, accordion-style glass doors, spacious living room with a gas fireplace, kitchenette, full bathroom, radiant heating, and sauna.

"I could see the next buyer being someone looking for a second home as a retreat or legacy compound and wanting privacy," says Vizzini. "It could also be someone who is interested in using it as a venue. ... The entire property is gated. There is this superlong driveway that leads in, and it has spectacular views of Mohonk Mountain."

Above the detached two-car garage is a studio with a kitchenette, full bathroom, and private garden.

There is also a separate guesthouse with a spacious great room with a cathedral ceiling, exposed beams, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and private deck.

The property comes with numerous trails that could be used for hiking, ATVs, or horseback riding.

"It is also set up for four-season animals," the agent notes. "The two barns are just incredible, and there are tons of fenced-in pastures for animals to graze. There are also multiple water sources and a generator for each structure."

One of the barns boasts 4,000 square feet of space that could be used to display a private car collection. Outfitted with four commercial-grade doors, the barn boasts polished concrete floors, radiant heat, a spacious loft, and a full bath.

While Vizzini believes the next buyer will likely use it as a secondary residence, he says the sprawling property could also be used as a primary home.

Located an hour south of Albany, it is also near the Ashokan Reservoir.

“Stone Ridge is one of the more affluent communities, and it is close enough to the city that you could easily commute in,” he says.
