596 County Route 25

Surrounded by rolling farmland, sweeping Catskill views, and spectacular sunsets, this historic Columbia County farmhouse offers the quintessential Hudson Valley retreat. Dating to the late 1700s or early 1800s, the home sits on 1.5 private acres along a quiet country road, bordered by more than 500 acres of adjoining pastureland where cows often graze. With no neighboring homes in sight, the setting offers a rare sense of privacy, beauty, and tranquility just 2¼ hours from New York City. Rich in character, the home retains many original architectural details, including exposed beams, wide-plank hardwood floors, and historic craftsmanship throughout. Thoughtful updates provide modern comfort while preserving the warmth and authenticity that make historic homes so special. The spacious country kitchen features a breakfast bar and adjoining dining area, while the inviting living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. A first-floor primary bedroom includes a renovated en suite bath, and a flexible additional room can serve as a guest bedroom, office, library, or studio. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms and a large updated bath with a classic clawfoot soaking tub. Outside, enjoy quiet mornings on the rocking-chair front porch and evenings on the rear deck and patio overlooking open fields, distant Catskill peaks, and unforgettable sunsets. Mature trees and established landscaping frame the property, while a large garden with raised beds and drip irrigation offers ample space for growing flowers, herbs, and vegetables. Recent improvements include a Buderus boiler, an energy-efficient mini-split AC system, and a brand-new roof installed in 2026. A two-car garage barn provides additional storage and convenience. Ideally located near Hudson (15 min), Kinderhook (7 min), Chatham (15 min), Art Omi (5 min), Hawthorne Valley (20 min), farm stands, orchards, hiking trails, swimming holes, and skiing destinations, this special property captures the very best of Columbia County living.
