Magnificent 1860 Greek Revival home on 150 acres with multiple outbuildings including a 1,750 square foot studio and a pond.  With six bedrooms, four baths, two kitchens and two laundry rooms, the house can be easily divided for Air BnB purposes or enjoyed as a grand private residence.  Both the studio and the home were gut renovated in 2020 with all new plumbing, electric, high efficiency Mitsubishi heating/cooling systems, septic, kitchens, baths, high speed internet and a newly dug well.  

 

There is a beautiful dichotomy between the classic formality of the Greek Revival house with its intricate moldings, high ceilings and wide plank floors when contrasted with the rustic openness of the loft-like studio.

 

Multiple outdoor spaces were created including a screened-in porch, dining terrace, rocking chair porch, a private terrace off the master suite and a balcony overlooking the pond.

 

Originally developed by Silas Miller in the mid 1850s, Ridge Wood Farm has been featured in the book:  History of Greene County and is listed on the Greene County Historic Register.  

 

Previous owners include the Fauvist painter Harold Liebmann and his wife Lola who choreographed the Cobra Dance that the two performed at The Follies Bergere. A few of LIebmann’s mosaics will be included in the sale.

 

Nearby towns of Hudson, Catskill and Athens provide ample access to restaurants, shopping and the arts.  Midtown New York is two hours away.

 

If you are looking for a beautiful piece of architecture nestled in a calm and peaceful environment not too far from the city, then this might be the home for you.
