132 Decker Road, Ancram, New 12502

132 Decker Road is a stunning Colonial farmhouse of classic proportions. Built c1870 and set on five lush acres of field, forest and water, the property overlooks 100 acres of beautiful protected land. Enjoy your own personal swimming pond complete with a swim platform and pastoral farmland views. The location in southern Columbia County is noteworthy for its lovely neighboring estates, quiet country roads and close proximity to Hudson. Feel like you’re a world away, but the wonderful shops and restaurants of Hudson are just down the road, and acclaimed restaurant Stissing House is your local pub. Inside, original details abound-- wide-plank floors, hand-hewn beams, and uncharacteristically high ceilings for a house of this age. The country kitchen has a Viking range, SubZero refrigerator and an indoor parilla for grilling over an open flame. The large and lightfilled living room is anchored by a wood burning fireplace, and you’ll find a formal dining room & large study on the first floor. Upstairs there is a lovely primary suite with a full bath and a walk-in closet. Down the hall you’ll find three additional bedrooms and a second full bath. The attic space has been finished for creative work and leaves room for future expansion. Outside, the magic continues with a spring-fed swimming pond, meadows, private trails, and a huge barn-like garage that could easily be converted into a guest cottage, studio, or gym. 132 Decker is a fabulously authentic farmhouse, beautifully maintained in the original farmhouse tradition, sweet as can be, less than two hours from NYC and 20m to Amtrak.
