Property Description
Built in 1690, The Van Vechten House is one of the earliest surviving examples of pre-revolutionary Dutch houses in the entire Hudson Valley. On the National Register of Historic Places, and featured in paintings by Thomas Cole and Frederick Church, this stunning stone house has just received a museum quality restoration. Exquisite period details are everywhere...gorgeous wideboard floors, exposed beams, 6 firplaces, huge open hearths, 16 over 12 windows, and fine raised-panel walls & doors. Even the setting is spectacular. Majestically sited on a promontory overlooking the rushing Catskill Creek, it has its own private beachfront and boating access to the Hudson River. The 4-acre grounds are beautifully finished with extensive stone walls, terraces and patios. This is a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a real Hudson Valley treasure.
