Welcome to Post Hill, a captivating retreat in the heart of the Hudson Valley where history and modern luxury dovetail seamlessly. This 11-acre estate, just 15 minutes from Hudson and two hours from Manhattan, offers a rare chance to own a piece of architectural heritage lovingly maintained by three dedicated owners. The story of this exceptional property began in the 1980s when an 1880s barn was discovered in Pennsylvania. Recognizing the beauty and craftsmanship of the structure, its original stewards meticulously disassembled, transported, and reassembled the barn upon a bucolic parcel in southern Columbia County, NY. It was then expanded with additional bedrooms and modern amenities, and enhanced with reclaimed architectural elements dating back to the 1700s, including windows and wooden paneling from a 1780s English manor, two Adam-style fireplaces, and antique Delft tiles from 1760. Over 5000 reclaimed bricks from a 19th-century factory in Hudson pave the first floor, providing a cool environment in summer and warmth in winter. The current owners equipped the home with smart home technology and installed solar panels that dramatically reduce heating and cooling costs. The central living room boasts 40-foot high ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and a second-story library. The primary suite features a vaulted ceiling with hand-hewn beams, a seating area, and an en-suite bath with a bespoke copper soaking tub and walk-in shower. The downstairs bedroom showcases 18th-century English manor details, while a silo has been transformed into an elegant entrance with a spiral stair leading to a second-floor office and ensuite bedroom. The well-appointed brick kitchen, equipped with Bosch appliances, adjoins the spacious dining and living areas, making it ideal for entertaining. Manicured gardens with specimen plantings surround the home, providing a tranquil setting for outdoor activities. Spend chilly evenings around the fire pit, enjoy cocktails on the stone patio, or serve a summer meal in the outdoor screened-in dining room. Explore the grounds, including remnants of an 18th-century post house, or relax by the serene pond⁠ that hugs the forest's edge⁠. Post Hill is a testament to the dedication of its owners, each contributing to its rich history. Experience the perfect blend of past and present in this remarkable property, where every detail tells a story. Begin your own chapter at Post Hill.
