Property Description
Originally built in 1850, this fully updated farmhouse sits along the historic road that once connected Cornwall to West Point during the Revolutionary War. Today, it offers something truly rare: complete privacy, surrounded on all sides by thousands of acres of protected forest and the endless hiking trails of Black Rock Forest. Less than an hour from New York City, it feels like a hidden world of its own.
Inside, the home has been reimagined with an open, modern flow. The gourmand's kitchen offers ample space and barstool seating for four, a walk-in pantry, and full-size laundry, blending seamlessly into a casual entry, dining space, and half bath. The formal entry hall leads to the sunken living room, where a wood stove and wall of built-in bookshelves create a warm gathering place. Upstairs, natural light pours in through skylights, illuminating two spacious bedrooms—one with an oversized en-suite bath—plus an office alcove and another full bath.
Life outdoors is just as inspiring. An expansive Ipe deck includes a sauna just steps from the sliding glass doors. A handmade clay pizza oven, Argentinian and Uruguayan grill, and chiminea invite long evenings of food and conversation. Across a footbridge spanning a seasonal stream, a charming outbuilding awaits—perfect for a writer's retreat, yoga studio, or artist's space. At the rear of the property, a large barn with loft provides endless possibilities, from workshop to future guest house.
Steeped in history, yet designed for modern living, this one-of-a-kind property is ready for daily life, weekend escapes, or as a distinctive investment rental.
