Description
A rare small farm in the perfect location! This 12-acre property is one of the last family farmsteads to be offered with expansive views of the Catskill Mountains and Frederic Church's Olana. Nestled amidst rolling hills of protected woodlands and agricultural meadows, this property boasts inspiring Hudson River School sunsets that made the region famous. Charter Oak Farm has it all: a well-proportioned late-19th century Colonial Revival farmhouse, an early 20th century bungalow with a contemporary addition, a classic 2-story barn, a greenhouse, an agricultural pavilion, hundreds of young productive apple trees, extensive deer fencing, and a large open meadow awaiting further transformation to agricultural, horticultural, or recreational use. The property could be residential, a boutique farm, or a combination of both. The secondary house could accommodate guests, help support a small business operation, or generate rental income. Perfectly situated within 8 minutes to the City of Hudson and Amtrak, the Rip Van Winkle Bridge and the Hudson River, in a region of public landscapes and parks, including the Empire State Trail and Olana State Historic Site. The stunning views of and from the property are timeless: they are part of Olana's historic viewshed, a protected panorama of largely agricultural and residential properties. Highfield, the 90-acre parcel that abuts Charter Oak Farm to the north will be protected, so that all of the rear views from Charter Oak Farm-a total of 700 contiguous acres-will continue as premier examples of classic Hudson Valley scenery. Some deed restrictions will apply to the sale of Charter Oak Farm, in keeping with the seller's intention to preserve the special qualities of the gorgeous surroundings. Charter Oak Farm is a unique opportunity to add your vision to an already iconic Hudson Valley landscape. Note: Tax amount reflects the entire 102 acre parcel and will be reapportioned once the 12 acre lot is subdivided
