Established in 1887, Ives Farm is a charming country property with a well-preserved farmhouse nestled off the road on nearly twelve pastoral acres. A former gentleman's farm, the terrain around the house is undulating and beautifully landscaped, dotted with picturesque outbuildingsincluding the striking original barn. The rest of the wooded acreage, bordering the saltwater pool, is a bit more rugged, filled with mature trees and the ability to create trails for hiking with relative ease.The 2,600 square foot three bedroom, three bath home is filled with much-loved architectural details like original wide board hardwood floors, a brick fireplace in the living room with a wood stove insert, board and batten window shutters, and a standing seam metal roof. You enter the main floor through a traditional mudroom with a herringbone stone tile floor and plenty of built-in storage, leading into the light-filled kitchen with a wood stove and breakfast nook. There's a dining room and a well-proportioned living room with two seating areas and a fireplace. An inviting screened-in verandah that runs the width of the house is perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. A powder room completes this floor. On the second floor are two bedrooms, a full bath, and a laundry closet. The ground floor has a third sizable bedroom with a renovated full bath and a family/media room. The ground floor has views onto the greenery-filled back of the property, with French doors opening to a terrace with impressive stonework and steps leading up to an outdoor cedar shower.The grounds at Ives Farm are truly idyllic. The saltwater gunite pool sits up from the house, surrounded by woods on one side and gardens and flowering trees on the other. A fenced-in vegetable and flower garden is nestled further into the property, and the stately 19th-century barn, fully restored structurally and currently used as a workshop, can easily be converted into a carriage house for guests.In a rural setting, Ives is surrounded by some of the Hudson Valley's most incredible sources for food and produce, including (but certainly not limited to) Local 111, the Hawthorne Valley Farm Store, Kinderhook Farm, Quinnie's, Random Harvest, and Zinnia's Dinette. The best-kept Columbia County secret, High Falls, perfect for hiking and offering the tallest waterfall in the area, is just five minutes away.Ives Farm is ideally situated just 15 minutes from Hudson and two hours from New York City.
