Welcome to Hardwicke Farmhouse. Set on more than eight private acres along a private country lane, this extraordinary property has been meticulously renovated from the studs up, integrating four centuries of architectural heritage and crafted throughout with the finest materials. The result is a fully turnkey home set within a reclaimed landscape of stone terraces and walls, wildflower meadows, spring-fed ponds, and historic barns, each element in quiet dialogue with the architecture it surrounds. The original structure dates to the 1740s, rooted in the Dutch and early American traditions that shaped this region. A gracious Greek Revival center hall followed in the 1840s. The crowning addition was designed by John Mesick, founding partner of MCWB Architects and celebrated contemporary of I.M. Pei, a masterwork of glass, stone, and iron, with a silo-inspired great room that dissolves the boundary between interior and landscape. Inside, the historic rooms feel intimate and grounded. Hand-hewn beams, wide plank floors, restored hardware, and Dutch doors reflect the home's early roots, while new windows flood each room with natural light. Morning light drifts through the front parlor and dining room, both anchored by wood-burning fireplaces. Beyond, the Mesick addition opens into a dramatic great room with an inglenook fireplace and sweeping views of the pool, barns, and fields. The fully rebuilt kitchen features all-new appliances, cabinetry, and fixtures, and shares this airy modern space with a dining area, creating a natural flow for long meals, gatherings, and quiet mornings observing each season. Newly added bedrooms and baths include two primary suites: a spacious ground-floor suite ideal for single-level living or guests, and a private upper retreat. Each primary suite features a double-vanity bathroom, and all bathrooms have been fully renovated with high-end details including a steam shower, Zellige tiles, and designer fixtures and finishes throughout. The home offers gracious gathering spaces and quiet corners to retreat to, with additional rooms providing flexibility for offices, studios, or guests. All new plumbing, electrical, and updated HVAC systems ensure modern comfort throughout. Outdoors, the landscape has been completely restored: a new in-ground pool and stonework rebuilt from scratch, trees and gardens newly planted, and the spring-fed pond dug out, cleaned, and stocked. The pool anchors a main terrace of multi-level dry-stacked stone walls designed for entertaining, each level opening to sweeping views of the grounds, the woodlands, and the western sky. Wildflower fields and spring-fed ponds frame the property across every season, drawing a pageant of native life throughout the year. Though you'll pay taxes on only 8 acres, you'll live as though you own the entire landscape, 700 surrounding acres of protected farmland, visible in every direction and safe from development. The sole property on its lane, you'll enjoy absolute privacy. Kinderhook, Chatham, and Hudson are all within easy reach, and Albany International Airport is about thirty minutes away. Daily life here is shaped by quiet countryside, nearby farms, local dining, and easy access to the best of the Hudson Valley.
