A 19th-century working barn reimagined into a dramatic Hudson Valley retreat, this house wears its heritage openly – original timber beams rise three storeys above hardwood floors, and a towering stone fireplace anchors a living room built for slow, fireside evenings. Outside, a private pool sits wrapped by mature woodland, with nearly two rolling acres to wander and a screened porch overlooking a tranquil pond. The three en-suite bedrooms are arranged around a floating architectural catwalk among exposed beams and antique joists. Rhinebeck and Red Hook are minutes away, and New York City is two hours down the road.

Local guide
About Rhinebeck
While Upstate New York is used to being overshadowed by the city, a trip up the Hudson brings you to some charming towns and beautiful scenery. The slower pace of life here is an excellent antidote to the frenetic energy of Manhattan and Brooklyn. The lush, ever-changing landscape is an attraction in itself, but the towns of the Hudson Valley offer a healthy dose of culture and history. This area...
