Property Description
Built circa 1790, this idyllic, 3193 square foot home is the country oasis you have been seeking. Only 1 3/4 hours from NYC, swim in your private pond, stroll through your private woods and relax in the peacefulness of this charming Hudson Valley homestead. With 3 (possibly 4) bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, a formal dining room and the very large, original timber-beamed living room with a large 18th century, wood-burning fireplace. Features include gorgeous wide-board floors, original moldings and high ceilings throughout both floors. There is a half-bath on the first floor as well as another room which could easily be used as a bedroom. There are 2 full baths on the second floor as well as a walk-in closet for the primary BR. This home is situated within 114 protected, forested acres 7 minutes from the Taconic Parkway. This listing is comprised of two parcels being sold together: 1) 1606 Bulls Head Road which is 44.8 acres and contains the house and barn & 2) 1562 Bulls Head Road which is 70 acres of wooded property. Both parcels are enrolled in the NYS Forestry Assessment Exemption which reduces property taxes by more then 3/4. These reductions are included in the tax amounts listed. Total taxes (Town, County and School) are 12,325 a year. There is a handsome, 2-story barn that has been recently rebuilt which is used as a garage, but could become a workshop, artist studio or whatever you would like for your country retreat.
