History and charm in a remarkable setting: The iconic Thomas Chambers House, a circa 1790 stone house nestled in the tranquil hamlet of Kripplebush, just outside the Stone Ridge village center, began life as part of a farm and general store complex, once serving as a gathering place for local men conscripted for the War of 1812. While the store is gone, the house and an antique 3-bay English barn remain, anchoring a stunning 31 acres of prime farmland and light forest criss-crossed by the Kripplebush Creek. The house, featuring unusually tall ceilings and large rooms for a house of the era, has been masterfully restored to expose rich original detail, including hand-hewn beams, milk paint and floors crafted from king boards, some as wide as 17 inches. The gourmet kitchen features soapstone counter tops, stainless-steel appliances and custom cabinetry. A large step-down room right off the kitchen can be used as a dining or living room, and the kitchen also opens to an additional cozy den for relaxation or hosting friends. The main floor also features a half bath. Upstairs are three comfortable bedrooms, including a primary suite, and two full bathrooms, centered on a sunny staircase landing perfect for reading or idling. Outside, the house opens stunningly to a lush flat meadow, with a heated saline in-ground pool at its center, and bordered by 850 feet of the Kripplebush Creek. The expansive acreage, ripe with potential as prime farmland, is mostly open fields, with beautiful views at various elevations. Closer to the house are a lovely 30x40 three-bay English barn partially finished to include twin lofts and exposed beams, plus a separate 14x21 corn crib. Agricultural tax exemptions have been utilized by prior owners of the property, and potentially even greater tax savings might be possible via land-conservation easements on some portion of upper fields
