Description

Welcome to Wynt Farmhouse. Set on nearly 13 pastoral acres along a quiet country road in Hudson, this circa 1850 farmhouse carries nearly two centuries of Columbia County history. A tree-lined entrance leads up through rolling meadows to the property's highest elevation, with far-reaching views of the Taconic foothills and Berkshire Mountains from the rear of the property. An original dairy barn stands uphill on its own drive, weathered but structurally sound, a working link to the land's agricultural past. The clapboard farmhouse has been carefully restored, with original moldings, door surrounds, transom entry, and entrance staircase preserved throughout. Period-correct wide plank floors run through the 1,600-square-foot interior, which offers four bedrooms and two fully renovated bathrooms across two floors, with a full unfinished attic above and a dry basement below. A bright, open living area anchors the ground floor, with room for long dinners and quiet evenings in. The roof was replaced in 2023, followed by all-new windows in 2024. The result is a turnkey farmhouse with the energy efficiency of a much newer build. The home is offered with the option to purchase fully furnished. Outside, a small deck off the kitchen makes weeknight grilling easy, and a front porch offers a charming spot for morning coffee or evening conversation. Two additional decks and a stone patio extend the living space further into the landscape. A custom fire pit is positioned to frame the surrounding hills, which turn from green to gold and rust each fall. Once snow arrives, the sloping meadows make for a natural sledding hill. Low light pollution makes the night sky a genuine feature of the property. The authentic dairy barn holds significant potential as a studio, garage, workshop, storage, or creative space. Zoned residential/commercial, the property also leaves room to build an additional residence or commercial structure, and supports a live-work arrangement, a second home, or an income-producing venture. The home currently operates as a successful short-term rental. Airbnb is fully permitted. Located just three miles from Hudson's Warren Street, with its concentration of restaurants, galleries, and shops, the property also benefits from 860 feet of road frontage on a well-traveled route connecting Hudson, Ghent, Kinderhook, and Chatham. Local favorites Quinnie's, Chatham Hudson Winery, and Bartlett House are all a short drive away. The Hudson Amtrak station, with service to New York City, is just ten minutes away.
