Welcome to Stonewall Farm, a rare 40-acre retreat featuring not one but TWO architecturally distinctive houses less than two hours from Manhattan and minutes from the New Paltz village center. Privately set at the end of a long driveway flanked on each side by its namesake stacked-bluestone walls, the property features both meadows and woods, with frontage on Chodikee Lake reached just across a forested bluff. The first house, built in 1820 by William Brooks and listed on Ulster County's historic places registry, is a charming foursquare stone farmhouse featuring four bedrooms and two baths (one full, one half), plus a 30-foot living room with fireplace opening to an end-to-end screened side porch overlooking a meadow. The dining room also has a fireplace, and the renovated kitchen features custom dovetail jointed cabinetry, a gourmet 48-inch range with hood and pot filler, and other high-end appliances. Upstairs are the four bedrooms, an oversized bathroom with spotless vintage tilework still in place, and a large central walk-in closet for storage. Throughout the house are classic recessed windows with stunning glass panes, hardwood floors and plenty of light. The second house is a spacious three-bedroom, 2.5-bath Mid Century Modern ranch, not visible from the stone house. You enter through a pergola-topped entry courtyard into a stone-floored entry gallery. From there, the house immediately opens to a dramatic sunken living room with vaulted beamed ceilings and a stunning stone fireplace, with a full wall of sliding-glass doors offering panoramic views of the woods and a ravine. The vibe is bright and airy but also remarkably vintage, including the oversized kitchen with cheery orange cabinets. Each bedroom is spacious, and there's a finished family room in the walk-out basement level. Between the two houses is a standalone studio building with a two-car garage plus a finished library room and office space, perfect for at-home work, overflow guests or additional storage. Recent upgrades include separate 22kw whole-house Generac generators and ductless central-air and heating systems in both houses, installed in 2015. This a unique opportunity to own a remarkably private compound, with two choices of great architecture, minutes by car or bicycle from the Walkway Over the Hudson, MetroNorth and Amtrak train service in Poughkeepsie, and the charms of New Paltz, one of the Hudson Valley's most popular college towns.
