Originally built in the 1870s, this farmhouse has been added to over time to create a sociable family home. Inside, original details such as exposed wooden beams and large sash windows are complemented by vintage furniture and traditional furnishings, while a bar is ideal for evening cocktails. But you’re likely to spend most of your time outside, exploring the ten acres of land, enjoying a drink outside on the deck, taking some time to reflect at the koi pond, or gathering around the outdoor fireplace after the sun goes down. There’s also a natural pool fed by a mountain stream, which you can swim in, surrounded by frogs, water lilies and other aquatic life.

About Beacon
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...
