At the helm of the property is its original 4-bed, 4-bath farmhouse, situated between two ponds (home to a small family of resident ducks), and with views of the meandering stone walls and undulating hills that surround the home. The interior and exterior have been thoroughly restored, leaving the house abundant in character and steeped in its own history. Inside, the layout is sprawling, with the kitchen, dining room, large guest suite, snug, and boot room located in one wing of the home, and the primary bedroom suite, living room, orangerie, powder, library, and two additional bedrooms and a full bath in the second wing. Every detail across the house was carefully considered - from restoring the historic wavy glass windows, to the build-out of well-equipped (and beautiful) utility spaces and storage. The kitchen is exceptionally well-crafted by a local woodworking artisan, with dark, veined soapstone countertops, a 48-inch stainless steel AGA stove, a deVOL sink, beautiful brass fixtures, and a light-filled breakfast nook. In the primary bath, a custom-designed marble cut-out frames a deep soaking tub. The orangerie is lined with checkered marble floors and leads to the brightly painted, paneled powder room. In the characterfully wallpapered boot room, a large utility sink and flower station sit alongside neatly concealed laundry units. Each of the four bedrooms offer peaceful views, with ample distance and privacy between the primary suite, guest suite, and kids' rooms. The Grounds & Surroundings A true gentleman's farm, Hollows presents the perfect opportunity to fully embrace the rural idyll; a large historic barn has several stalls and lots of storage for farm equipment, thriving fenced pastures with run-in sheds are peppered throughout the property, multiple ponds foster a balanced and diverse ecosystem, and ancient trees and mature gardens fill the 65 acres of land. Hollows Farm is just fifteen minutes from Rhinebeck, Millbrook, and the Rhinecliff Amtrak train station, and 90 minutes from New York City. The surroundings are remarkably verdant, with many hiking trails (if you tire of roaming your own acreage), farmers markets, restaurants, and quaint country towns.
