The Space:
"The Barn at Doodletown" is a captivating 1863 post-and-beam barn turned extraordinary Upstate abode, nestled on 11 private acres along a picturesque road in Ancram, New York. This remarkable property seamlessly marries the rustic charm of yesteryears with modern luxury, promising an exhilarating escape in the heart of nature. This captivating retreat spans a sprawling 4100 square feet across three levels, each offering its own personality and surprise touches.
The adventure begins on the first level, where a smart open kitchen awaits. The fully equipped kitchen, complete with a Wolf stove, a Bosch 4-burner induction cooktop, wine cooler, and not one, but two dishwashers, is a culinary haven. A delightful family dining room, a charming bedroom, and a full bath beckon you, with seamless access to the private backyard - your gateway to nature's embrace.
Ascending to the second level, the dramatic space transforms into a formal dining room and lavish living area. Here, a plush couch sits cozily by the wood-burning stove, setting the scene for unforgettable gatherings. To the rear, discover an additional workspace and lounge area, complete with a smart TV, making this level a versatile hub for both relaxation and productivity.
The third level, hosts three restful bedrooms and two full bathrooms. On one end is the primary, with a King bed and en-suite bathroom. Bridges span to each wing, adding an extra layer of intrigue to your stay. On the other side are two additional guest bedrooms with Queen beds and a shared full bath. Each bedroom is a peaceful sanctuary, and the bathrooms are designed to ensure your ultimate comfort.
"The Barn at Doodletown" is not just a dwelling; it's an outdoor playground. With 11 acres of pristine land at your disposal, you're invited to explore, relax, and reconnect with nature. The 690-acre Doodletown Wildlife Management Area is your neighbor, offering endless opportunities for hiking, wildlife-watching, and immersion in the great outdoors. Perched on one of the most breathtaking roads in Columbia County, this home is just 25-minutes from Hudson, a vibrant town with an Amtrak station, providing effortless access to this bucolic haven.
The Neighborhood:
Ancram, a picturesque town in Upstate New York, is known for its serene beauty. Surrounded by rolling hills, and farmland, it's an idyllic escape. In the summer, explore the scenic beauty of Lake Taghkanic State Park and enjoy swimming, fishing, and hiking. Come winter, Catamount Ski Area beckons for skiing and snowboarding. The town exudes charm with historic buildings and a welcoming community. Whether you're a nature enthusiast or simply seeking a tranquil getaway, Ancram has it all. Centrally located to many worth stops in the area including Hudson (25 mins), Rhinebeck (30 mins), and Mt. Washington/Berkshires (30 mins).
Getting Around:
The Barn at Doodletown is about two hours from New York City, and you'll definitely want a car to get there and around the area.
In the winter, we recommend a car with four-wheel drive that can handle the snow and gravel roads.
