Property Description

Bespoke. Beloved. Bewitching. Introducing Wallkill Riverstead. Set behind a winding half-mile approach and embraced by almost 95 secluded acres, this extraordinary legacy property offers an increasingly rare convergence of history, privacy, and purposeful land stewardship. Once an original Hasbrouck homestead, this heirloom farmstead unfolds across pristine meadows framed by mature woods, culminating in 1800 feet of Wallkill River frontage, a landscape as serene as it is storied. The residence itself is a thoughtful architectural narrative spanning centuries. The 1762 original stone cottage anchors the home with thick masonry walls, hand-hewn beams, wide plank floors, and hearths that have gathered generations. An 1800s clapboard addition expanded the living quarters with grace, and a 2002 modern addition was executed with restraint and reverence, harmonizing seamlessly with the historic fabric while introducing modern systems and comfort. The result is over 3,300 square feet of living space that has been carefully adapted for contemporary living without sacrificing authenticity or charm. Inside, light spills across honey-toned wide plank floors and curated rooms that feel both intimate and enduring. 7 fireplaces (5 working), each with their own unique mantel (don’t miss the open book mantel), artisan millwork, and period details speak to craftsmanship rarely replicated today. A metal roof crowns the home with understated durability, reinforcing the estate’s sense of permanence. Outdoors, bluestone pathways meander from house to meadow, guiding you toward a screened porch that frames the seasons: river mist in spring, lush green summers, golden autumn fields, and snow-dusted stillness in winter. The acreage invites a purposeful next chapter: equestrian pursuits, regenerative farming, conservation, or simply the stewardship of land that has quietly endured for over two and a half centuries. This is not simply a home, it is a rare find, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become the next chapter in a remarkable Hudson Valley story. If you seek privacy, serenity, river frontage, and a property that lives as beautifully as it photographs, look no further. Find your sanctuary at Wallkill Riverstead.
