About this property

Nestled along a country road in Ancram, New York, and up a long driveway through a pastoral field this enchanting 1760s farmhouse has been beautifully restored, preserving its early American character while introducing refined modern comforts. Situated on more than 31 acres of meadows and landscaped gardens, the property offers expansive views and a scenic pond. A garden entrance opens to a gracious Great Room where wide plank wood floors, built-in bookshelves, and a window seat create a warm, inviting atmosphere. A wood-burning fireplace with an antique mantel and brick hearth anchors the room, while the adjoining dining area, with entrance to the main floor bedroom, leads to the second floor via an elegant staircase. The nearby Media Room featuring the same rich flooring and built-ins, offers intimate spaces for reading or relaxation. The sunlit kitchen, with its desirable southwest exposure, combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary style. Marble countertops, custom wood cabinetry are complemented by a high-end appliance, and a large walk-in pantry with terracotta tile. Adjacent to the kitchen, a mudroom provides access to both the front garden and side driveway, a stylish full bath completes the main level. Upstairs, the serene primary suite features painted wide plank floors, a wood-burning fireplace with antique mantel, and multiple closets including a walk-in. Its luxurious bath offers a soaking tub, glass shower, and double vanity topped with marble. Two additional bedrooms, one highlighted by exposed beams, are paired with beautifully finished baths featuring porcelain tubs, tiled walls, and elegant stone or brass console vanities. A newly constructed barn provides creative flexibility with two separate art studios and a half bath — ideal for artists, hobbies, or home office use. The surrounding acreage has been thoughtfully designed with raised gardens, a chicken coop, a classic silo, blending the charm of country living with recreational appeal. Professionally landscaped and rich with history, this special property offers an extraordinary combination of privacy, authenticity, and rural beauty — a place where timeless design and natural splendor come together in perfect balance. Conveniently located just 20 minutes from Indian Mountain School, The Hotchkiss School, and Millbrook School, 15 minutes from Metro-North’s Wassaic Station, and 35 minutes from Amtrak in Hudson, the home enjoys effortless access to premier schools, cultural destinations, and travel connections throughout the Hudson Valley and Litchfield Hills.
