This authentic Hudson Valley farmstead is a study in thoughtful preservation -- historic architecture, open pasture, and mountain views carefully honored rather than reinvented. Set on 41.8 acres of certified organic meadow at the base of the Shawangunk Ridge, the result is both timeless and deeply inviting. Built in 1850 and spanning 3,758 square feet, the five-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence carries its history in wide-plank floors, exposed beams, and two wood-burning fireplaces, while windows in nearly every room frame the surrounding landscape. At the heart of the home, a beautifully reimagined great room centers around a chef's kitchen appointed with handcrafted mushroom wood cabinetry, soapstone countertops and farmhouse sink, a generous butcher block island, and the enduring appeal of a classic AGA range. Open living and dining spaces flow together at the center of the house. Upstairs, the primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, a private office, a walk-in closet, and a bath with a Bain clawfoot soaking tub positioned to capture the pastoral views. French doors open to a private balcony overlooking the fields, the historic barn, and the ridgeline beyond. Outside, a wraparound porch invites long afternoons, while the barn, rolling meadows, and mature trees create exceptional privacy. Fifteen minutes to New Paltz, the Mohonk Preserve, and Minnewaska State Park -- with the region's climbing, wineries, farm stands, and farm-to-table tables in between -- and two hours from New York City. More than a home, this is a landscape to inhabit, and one of Gardiner's most remarkable settings. **please note that there is currently a lot line revision -- property acreage will be 10acres.
