Barclay Manor is tucked away on two private acres covered in verdant gardens, mature trees and antique bluestone in the Village of Saugerties. In true Italian Renessaince Revival fashion, the home was built to an imposing scale incorporating classic details and set back from the road overlooking a great lawn with a dramatic entryway, evoking the feeling of complete privacy whilst being mere minutes from the heart of town. Like the Romanesque styles and other later classically-inspired styles, the Italian Renaissance Revival looked to Italy and the ancient world for inspiration.

Once night falls, travel back along the lit pathway to gather around the stone built fire pit.

This extraordinary newly built home was created with the utmost attention to design, environment, sustainability, and energy efficiency.
