Monthly Estimate* How much can I afford?

Welcome to The Jacob Vosburgh House, a circa 1790 Federal center-hall house on 76.28 acres, offered for sale for the first time in more than 50 years. This 5-bedroom, 4-bath home offers 3,896 square feet of living space, 4 wood-burning fireplaces, and an in-ground pool. Having had only a few owners, the property is a remarkably preserved piece of New York history that has been thoughtfully expanded over the centuries, restored by its current owners of 53 years with a preservation architect, and modernized for 21st-century living. The many period details, hand-hewn cabinetry and metalwork, original mantels, a trompe l'oeil tiger maple banister, six-over-six windows with period glass, and wide-plank floors, all evoke a bygone era of craftsmanship. A 2004 addition brings modern conveniences, including a chef's kitchen, pantry, casual dining area, and sitting room anchored by an impressive wood-burning Rumford fireplace. Just outside the kitchen, an expansive ipé wood deck and bluestone patio open onto the pool. The home's classic center-hall layout includes a gracious entryway leading to a formal sitting room, large dining room, a full bath, and two smaller rooms that could serve as guest bedrooms or offices. Three wood-burning fireplaces on the first level add warmth and romance to the spaces. Upstairs, an ensuite primary bedroom with another wood-burning fireplace joins four more bedrooms, three updated bathrooms, and flexible office, studio, or play spaces. The grounds surrounding the property are ideal for outdoor pursuits. Around the deck and pool, nationally recognized gardens, recognized by the Smithsonian, showcase carefully selected native species, specimen trees, a small garden waterfall, and meandering trails throughout the property. A barn with three garage spaces, plus equipment and firewood storage, provides maximum utility for farming projects. Located in an Agriculture District, the property includes 15 acres of tillable land that currently produces hay and corn by agreement with local farmers. Being sold separately with the property is a one-acre plot containing a cell tower with a lease that generates monthly income. Recent upgrades include a shake shingle roof, 5kw solar panels, a whole-house generator, a water filtration system, and a freshly repainted exterior. Ideally situated 20 minutes from Albany, 15 minutes from Kinderhook, and 30 minutes from Hudson, the property lends itself to a full-time or weekend home, a farm-and-market operation, agricultural tourism, or a bed and breakfast. Few properties combine three centuries of craftsmanship with modern comfort as gracefully as The Jacob Vosburgh House.
