7115 Albany Post RoadRhinebeck, NY 12572Price: $1,500,000

A significant property, the Southern gateway to the town of Red Hook along the Route 9 corridor and owned by one family for over four decades. This offering consists of 60 acres on three parcels sold together: in Town of Red Hook, 37 acres of prime open farmland, a 10-acre homestead parcel with a circa-1860 Victorian farmhouse, multiple barns, and a garage, and in the town of Rhinebeck, an additional 12.6 acres of agricultural land to the rear. The main barn dates to the 1700's. The farm has a long working history - vegetables, hay, livestock, flowers - and the landscape shows it. Wide open fields, a treeline border, and the kind of unobstructed sky that's getting harder to find this close to the village. The timber-frame barn is substantial, with original trusses and stall configurations intact. A former milking parlor, outbuildings, and a farm stand structure round out the complex. The farmhouse retains its period character - a proper Victorian Italianate with corbeled eaves, multiple porches, original wide-plank floors, a turned staircase, and a Federal-style mantel with sunburst detail. It needs significant work and is priced accordingly. The land is the draw. No conservation easement encumbers the property. The 50 acres of land have 100+ ft of road access, but requires roadway. Subdivision potential exists. The land includes a quaint sugar shack and a small pond. Additional acreage on Route 9 is available. Approximately 1.5 miles from the center of Red Hook Village, 3.5 miles from the center of Rhinebeck Village and less than 2 hours from NYC.
