Welcome to Stonewall Farm, a rare 20-acre retreat featuring a charming 19th Century stone house and outbuilding less than two hours from Manhattan and minutes from the New Paltz village center. Privately set at the end of a long driveway flanked on each side by its namesake stacked-bluestone walls, the property features both meadows and woods plus its signature foursquare stone farm house built in 1820 by William Brooks and listed on Ulster Countys historic registry. The house features a 30-foot living room with fireplace opening to an end-to-end screened side porch overlooking a meadow. The dining room also has a fireplace, and the renovated kitchen features custom dovetail jointed cabinetry, a gourmet 48-inch range with hood and pot filler, and other high-end appliances, plus an adjoining half bathroom. Upstairs are four bedrooms, an oversized full bathroom with spotless vintage tilework still in place, and a large central walk-in closet for storage. Throughout the house are classic recessed windows with stunning glass panes, hardwood floors and plenty of light. The property also includes a standalone studio building with a two-car garage plus a finished library room and office space, perfect for at-home work, overflow guests or additional storage. Recent upgrades include a whole-house Generac generator and ductless central-air and heating systems, installed in 2015. This a unique opportunity to own a remarkably private compound, minutes by car or bicycle from the Walkway Over the Hudson, MetroNorth and Amtrak train service in Poughkeepsie, and the charms of New Paltz, one of the Hudson Valleys most popular college towns.
