A fusion of classic equestrian hunt club style and modern designer touches creates a comfortable yet elegant aesthetic.

Additionally, a 5 bay utility barn provides protected storage for all farm equipment and vehicles. The property's ride-out is extensive, encompassing hundreds of acres and connecting to a vast network of trails in the equestrian-focused area of Chatham and Old Chatham.While Valley View offers a private and secluded retreat, its location is central to a variety of Hudson Valley attractions and popular destinations.
