Just 90 minutes from NYC on 55.6 verdant acres in the fertile flatlands of the Shawangunk valley with awe-inspiring mountain views and almost a mile of pristine river frontage sits this historic stone built estate offering unparalleled potential. A long and meandering driveway leads to a collection of four stone structures. The centerpiece of the estate is an impressive 7,976sf residence, exuding timeless charm and architectural elegance. This grand home features a multitude of expansive living areas, some anchored by large fireplaces along with six spacious bedrooms, each with its own distinctive character (four of which have their own fireplaces). Original details are abundant including wood floors, custom woodwork, hand hewn beams, Dutch doors, all reminiscent of a bygone era. Amidst the grandeur are multiple cozy spots in which to retreat including a light-filled breezeway with direct access to a large bluestone patio perched above the river. Situated in the adjacent courtyard are three additional buildings with a total of nine additional bedrooms. The largest of the three additional dwellings is a charming 1,700sf four bedroom guest cottage. The 1,600sf two bedroom dwelling is connected to a four stall stable, tack room, carriage room and hay loft, perfect for horse enthusiasts. The third dwelling (the ''Carriage House'') includes a 1,500sf three bedroom apartment that sits above a spacious three-car garage, an open light-filled space perfect for an artist studio, workshops and/or events. With spectacular river frontage, panoramic mountain views, sweeping pastures and wildflower-filled meadows, the property is a sanctuary of natural beauty. A myriad of options exist to engage the outdoors. One can envision an extensive trail network that winds its way through meadows and along the serene river for walking or horseback riding, docks for tubing/kayaking, and platforms for exercise or riverside gatherings. A large in-ground swimming pool with two massive stone diving platforms offers a more refined outdoor option. Working with Brent Buck, a noted Brooklyn-based architect and Miranda Brooks, a renowned landscape architect, the current owners prepared conceptual plans that completely reimagined the entire compound through a modern lens (plans available upon request). In furtherance of that plan, they completed significant renovations, including the installation of new roofs on the guest cottage, the apartment, and the Carriage House. In addition, they made extensive repairs to the walls, ceilings and floors, repainted the interiors and exteriors of all four buildings and completed extensive property cleanup including the removal of a massive defunct metal barn. In close proximity to Wildflower Farms, the charming town of Gardiner and the larger town of New Paltz it is close to all manner of outdoor adventuring in the nearby Shawangunks, Minnewaska State Park and Mohonk Preserve. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create one of the most unique properties in the Hudson Valley where you can own a piece of history that starts with a vastly improved canvas awaiting its next chapter. The land where Brykill now stands was first granted to Gertrude Bruyn in 1694 by William III and Mary II of England, hence the name. In 1724 a small stone house was built, the first of several structures that would be merged into today's main house. In 1736 the main block was established. It was used as a court of law during the mid-19th century. In 1926, William Bruyn, a descendant of the original owners purchased the property for use as a country estate. He retained Kingston architectural firm Halvorsen and Teller to expand the property in a manner that preserved its original aesthetics.
