Set on 4.5 rolling acres, this stunning 1870s Ghent farmhouse is the kind of find you don't stumble on twice: 19th-century character paired with light, layout, and land that's nearly impossible to come by today. A front porch with hand-carved gingerbread brackets and delicate scrollwork announces the home's Second Empire pedigree before you've even reached the door, craftsmanship that's stood the test of 150-plus years.

Step inside to wide-plank pine floors flowing through sun-drenched common rooms with soaring ceilings and original moldings. A library with a wood-burning fireplace and built-in shelving makes the perfect quiet escape. The sunny country kitchen, with open shelving and generous counters, spills into a vaulted dining room, ideal for entertaining. French doors lead out to a generous brick patio, tucked beneath a white pergola and bordered by garden beds bursting with color,  an idyllic spot for long dinners outdoors, with open meadow and rolling hills unfolding just beyond.

Outside is where this property truly sings: mature shade trees frame the expansive lawn, while the open meadow offers uninterrupted views across Hudson Valley hills, a backdrop that transforms with every season. A detached two-car garage adds storage and workspace without touching the property's historic footprint.

Ideally located to enjoy all the Hudson Valley has to offer, with Hawthorne Valley Farm and The Campus nearby and Hudson's shops, restaurants, and Amtrak access just 15 minutes away, this home puts the best of the region within easy reach. It's a rare chance to own a piece of Hudson Valley history: move-in ready, brimming with character, and set on land that feels frozen in time.
