Introducing Bright Bank, a historic home built in 1855 overlooking the Hudson River in Saugerties with a private bay and rights to restore a deep-water dock. Bring your vision to this eight-bedroom, 7,275 square-foot mansion surrounded by almost 80 Hudson Riverfront acres. The current owner has begun the process of restoration: The interior has been demolished, with extreme care to preserve the original architectural details, including original doors, fireplaces, moldings, window carvings, radiators, the staircase, interior shutters, and beautiful, original parquet flooring. Close attention to detail was used when restoring the interior brick throughout the entire home, as well. The structure is sound, with state-of-the-art infrastructure newly in place. While the original architectural details remain, many modern updates have been put in place to ensure easy updating including water and gas lines, and a new septic system. On the third floor, twin Juliette balconies were added to enhance the timeless charm. The basement has been updated with poured concrete and radiant heat. The new vision can be seen in various blueprints left for the new owners and can be used as a starting point or to be finished as planned. Bring your architect and your designer to finish this historic mansion with your own taste and vision for your own private riverfront estate, once completed, worthy of the cover of Architectural Digest. The abundant acreage with meticulous landscaping that is enhanced by the original fountain perched between the main home and caretaker home, gives you plenty of space for your own sanctuary, where you can install an inground pool, tennis courts, and vegetable gardens. For the horse lovers out there, the large horse barn has been updated with a new foundation. The newly renovated artist studio was once an icehouse and now has a kitchenette, half bathroom, and spruce board floors made from a tree found on the property. Outdoor storage is abundant with several sheds that have been updated to great condition. Adjacent to these structures is an original footprint of another large barn and across the path, an original stone staircase remains. The caretaker home was built in 1948, featuring 2 beds, 1.5 bathrooms with a loft, an enclosed bluestone patio, and a working fireplace. Moving towards the back of the property, near the Barclay Street entrance (with remote controlled gate), you can find a garage with an attached greenhouse that has radiant flooring and a new gas furnace. The size of the home, with 2 separate entrances, gives you ample opportunities to expand. Take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a historic property with a storied history. If the history of the estate is something you are drawn to it won't disappoint. The use of this property dates back to the 1830s when Henry Barclay, the namesake of Barclay Heights, created his estate named, Ury. It is rumored that the naming of Barclay's property is a nod to his family's ancestral home in Scotland. In 1854, Blaise Lorillard tore down the Ury home and built the Bright Bank mansion in 1855, this is the structure that remains today. By 1859 the estate was purchased and enjoyed by J.B. Sheffield and his wife Agnes of J. B. Sheffield & Son, a renowned papermill company. After Sheffield's passing in 1878, Agnes stayed in the home until she sold it in 1892 to Robert Mains, a brick merchant from England. Mains had a successful brick business with brickyards along the river in Rondout and Stockport NY, producing around 35 million bricks a year. The property was then sold again in 1933 to Edwin Van Etten, Dean of the Episcopal Cathedral of Boston. Then in 1943, the property was sold to Ruth and Magnus Dale, where it soon became the Dale Sanitarium. This historic Saugerties medical facility was able to accommodate up to 40 patients and had an operating room and maternity/delivery room; the facility was very advanced for its time.

Properties like this simply don't come around very often. For a buyer looking for the ultimate level of privacy, this is a rare opportunity to own a nature preserve at the end of a dead end road in Accord. With 1/2 mile of Peters Kill river frontage you'll have exclusive access to multiple swimming holes and water falls. Miles of hiking trails weave their way along the river, through fields of ferns, deep woods and various rock outcroppings and directly into both Minnewaska State Park and the Mohonk Preserve. Surrounded by thousands of acres of forever wild lands you'll never have to worry about any development other than what you choose to do on the 45+ acres. Due to its remoteness, abundant wildlife of all shapes and sizes is part of the daily experience. A very productive fruit orchard provides apples, pears, peaches and blueberries and a large vegetable garden produces a healthy volume of seasonal vegetables. The adjacent barn and machine shed can be used for farming purposes or can be repurposed for an alternative use. The 3BD/2BA solidly-built barn style home sits perched on a hill overlooking the forest and river below. With some renovations/updates, it could serve as a primary residence or a guest house for someone that wants to build a separate primary residence. The most obvious homesite has spectacular views of the Catskills. While it may feel like you're at the end of the world, it's just a few minutes to the town of Accord where you'll find the Accord Market, Saunderskill, Westwind Orchard, Arrowood Brewery and Inness.

Introducing The Rifton, a fully restored and masterfully renovated 1876 stone residence perched above the Wallkill River between Kingston and New Paltz, in the hamlet of Rifton, NY. Over the years The Rifton has served as a church, a town hall, and the bâtiment canards for a local duck farm, and the current incarnation beautifully preserves this spirit of gathering and community throughout all the living, entertaining and work spaces spanning over 6,000 sq ft. Preserving original elements from each of the iterations, The Rifton has been artfully restored with incredible attention to detail and wabi-sabi modernism, resonating throughout the space in the perfectly imperfect details like exposed beams and bedrock ledges, original stone walls and pine floors, and antique doors layered in timeless patina. Down a gravel path, the entrance to the home is shielded by a gentle canopy of lush foliage that plays whimsically against the stone facade. The front door opens into a vestibule created from bedrock and imported terrazzo tile with a storage cave tucked behind an oversized barn door and a convenient mudroom just before you enter the main living space. Light from the 7ft tall original windows streams into the living room and eat-in kitchen, bathing the space in natural light and accenting the exposed beams and custom staircase constructed from reclaimed wood. Off of the open-concept living space are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The primary bedroom suite offers a walk-in closet and full bathroom with glass shower, exceptionally designed to highlight the natural bedrock walls and ledges. Two tranquil guest bedrooms and an incredible 5-piece custom concrete bathroom finish off this level. The second level of The Rifton is comprised of a massive entertaining space with soaring 30ft ceilings and custom stone and steel firepit that looks plucked from a Viking mead hall. Views of nature abound through the thirty-two original windows set in natural stone walls and 16ft glass sliding doors that lead to a deck perched three stories above the Wallkill river. Lofted above the great room is a fourth bedroom with full bath, and adjacent is the vaulted atelier space dubbed “The Tower” as it spans five stories. Ideal for live/work applications, The Tower is a mix of stone & steel with open common areas, all connected by a spiral staircase. The former church steeple is accessible and offers a meditative space with long range views of the River, the surrounding countryside, and the property below. The grounds are a maze of stone walkways and wild gardens that feel centuries old. The paths connect whimsical perennial gardens with lounging and dining areas, and through patches of pink phlox you'll catch glimpses of the Rifton's stone facade and bright blue accents, transporting you to a provincial paradise only 10min to both Kingston and New Paltz, and 1.5h to NYC.

A pastoral scene is the backdrop for this 1890s farmhouse. Set on 37 magical acres with views of open meadows, woods, bluestone terrace, crystal-clear swimming pond and outstanding rock walls all around the perimeter. As you walk the property each new perspective treats you to a fresh example of nature's imagery, like a painting you would want to step into. All this and yet a short drive to the heart of Stone Ridge. The original home was built in 1890 and an addition was seamlessly integrated in 2001. That addition includes a great room with an adjacent office/den and a massive primary bedroom above, as well as multiple porches and balconies, a nod to the previous owners' New Orleans heritage. The current owners took it to the next level in 2011 with top-of-the-line fixtures, appliances and unique, custom designed and fabricated details throughout the house. These bespoke touches blend the old with the new, honoring the history of the house. Flooring and wall tiles were shipped from a famous salvage yard in the Netherlands. The kitchen sink was carved from a single slab of Brazilian soapstone. Repurposed hutches were added to the mudroom/laundry area. The walls are exquisite Venetian plaster with natural pigments and lime washed in some areas. Lighting fixtures range from modern to antique. Hardware was custom made. A comprehensive list of these fine details and the artisans that produced them is available upon request. The first level offers many options for living and entertaining. The main entry is under a covered front porch through a lacquered red door. A chef's kitchen, is the heart of the original section of the house with an AGA range in addition to a Wolf range. The dining room is just off the kitchen and main stairway. There's a side entry to the house, covered by a climbing hydrangea, which enters into a spacious mudroom/laundry with a full bathroom for showering after jumping into the pond or working in the garden. Off the dining area is the new wing of the house, a great room bathed in light with a Rumford fireplace and doors that lead to the expansive veranda. An office/den is tucked away off the living room. There is a front and back stairway leading to the second floor. In the main bedroom, we see again the finest Venetian plaster walls shimmering in turquoise and mica flecks with high gloss painted trim. The primary bathroom is a work of art unto itself. No expense was spared from the Agape soaking tub to nautilus shell inspired shower clad with Bisazza mosaic tile. The remaining bedrooms are in the original section of the house and were designed with storage closets and built-in nooks for the beds. The bathroom for this area has a full-size tub and imported English plumbing fixtures with antique tiles shipped from the Netherlands. A barn, set nicely apart from the house, was once used as an artist's studio with a double-height, north light window. There is radiant heated concrete floor in the lower level with French doors and a blue stone patio on one side. There is room for 2 cars and equipment on the other side. The swimmable pond is fed by multiple springs. The parcel stretches beyond the pond sloping upwards with some seasonal southern views. This is the epitome of elegant country living.
