This rare stone colonial is one of the oldest homes in Ulster County, with the original section built in 1663 by an early settler in the Dutch tradition. The home rambles, with five en suite bedrooms, gracious living room, formal dining room, eat-in country kitchen with vintage built-ins, library, den and multiple other spaces for sleeping and entertaining. Among the many original details are wide-board floors, massive chestnut beams, Dutch doors, hand-forged hardware and two staircases. With long frontage on the Esopus Creek and land on both sides of the road, the recreational and development options are many. Prominently sited between Kingston and Stone Ridge, and just across the creek from the Hudson Valley Farm Hub, this magical home is also close to Woodstock, the Mohonk Preserve, Minnewaska State Park, the Catskill Mountains, and a host of interesting shops, restaurants and galleries.
