Property Description
Magnolia Mae Farm is a quintessential Hudson Valley farmhouse with complete privacy and seclusion that offers a respite from the outside world. This 174 acre compound, 20 minutes from Hudson, NY., consists of a main house, guest house, caretaker's house and writer's cabin. Enter down a private half mile approach under a canopy of maples and lindens that open to reveal an oasis of rolling hills. At the center, the 1850 gable and wing center hall colonial evokes the World of Interiors with wide board floors and original details. A country kitchen, equipped with Wolf range, Subzero refrigerator, double Asko dishwashers and Shaws farmhouse sinks, connect to the deck overlooking the grounds, ideally suited for entertaining. The living room and parlor are designed for intimate gatherings with friends, complete with a woodburning stove for cozy winters. Also on the ground floor, there is a light-filled office with a private entrance to the heated conservatory, a mud room, large pantry, guest bedroom, and a powder room. Upstairs you'll find the sun flooded primary bedroom with ensuite bath, as well as two more guest bedrooms and a full bathroom.Near the main house, a late 19th century barn has been completely rebuilt into an open plan guest house with 22' a cathedral ceiling and loft bedroom. The gorgeous 40'x16' gunite pool is easily accessible from the house and the barn, and is perfect for lounging on summer days. The grounds also include a writer's cabin in the woods with heat & AC, and a caretaker's cottage that could be renovated into a 2nd guest house. Surrounded by acres of fields with sweeping panoramic views of the Hudson Valley clear to the Berkshires, the land is perfectly suited for a new building site as well. An additional 181 acres is available for purchase as well.
