On just over ten acres of rolling hillside and pasture sits this quintessential Hudson Valley farmhouse. The oldest section of the home dates back to the mid 1700's, quite early for this region, while the Federal Style facade and front rooms were added c1850. The combination is striking- the back of the house is both quaint and cozy, while the front of the home has high ceilings, big six-over-six windows and light filled spaces. The kitchen was a 2017 renovation- the sink perfectly placed to overlook the Roeliff Jansen Kill, which borders the property and is stocked with brown trout by the New York DEC each spring. There is also a very fine swimming hole that remains deep even when the waters run low! Rhododendrons border the front porch and bloom in early Spring, cueing the return of summer, and the hydrangeas lining the front farm fence wait just a bit longer until the weather turns. By then, the wraparound screened in porch has become the place you spend most of your time, overlooking the water and surrounding hillsides. Inside, the house lives comfortably. The large kitchen was custom built by a local carpenter with inset cabinetry, new windows, a gas range and two sinks. The large, inviting island sits five. The wideboard floors are original. The dining room and family room sit side by side, with a fireplace at the far end and two sets of french doors leading outside. There is a half bath and mud room with radiant heated floors at the very back of the house, and the back door leads out to the “run-in,” an attached barn-like structure used for storage. At the front of the house you'll find a wood-paneled office with extensive built ins and the living room- light, bright and airy. There are two bedroom wings, accessed via separate staircases. The back guest wing has two lovely bedrooms and a full bath. The front wing has three bedrooms and a full bath. The house has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully updated over the current owner's 10+ year stewardship, with many updates, most recently a brand new boiler in 2025. The land has been certified organic and was most recently grazed and hayed by a favorite local dairy farm. Silvernails Farm is both whimsical and practical, a house built with integrity and a rare eye for aesthetics and proportion. 2h to NYC, 20m to Hudson and most importantly just 5m to Stissing House.
