In 1914, the legendary Joe DiMaggio was born, which is also is when the centerpiece home of The Keene Farm made its debut. Two rows of tall trees, and hand laid stone welcomes you past striking red barns until you arrive at an impeccable farmhouse perfectly sited to take full advantage of the breathtaking views of the Catskill Mountains and your approx 93 acre Hudson Valley playground. The house itself is a true classic, full of style and vintage flair, but updated with modern, luxurious comforts. A light-filled chefs kitchen leads into an open living room with wood-burning fireplace, then into a perfectly proportioned dining room decorated with a William Morris wallpaper that sets the tone for meals with memories. Every great farmhouse has a front parlor, and this one is no exception; you'll be ready to receive guests, or simply relax and read a book in true country comfort. There is also a powder room on this floor. A handsome wooden staircase takes you up to three bedrooms, a lovely bath, and a large upper terrace for viewing your personal Shangri-la. Downstairs in the basement, past the pristine mechanicals (which include radiant heat and central air) you'll find a room hidden behind 2 wooden doors that reveals a secret hideaway or potential media room. As charming as the interior is, a house like this would not be complete without a porch to rock on. Just outside the front door is a proper and perfect wraparound porch with plenty of room to dine al fresco or simply enjoy the cinematic sunsets. Floating above the largest barn is a massive open guest loft with soaring ceiling, a full kitchen, bath, and lots of room to gather and entertain. Walls of windows and balconies on both sides allow an effortless connection to nature. Downstairs is a multi-car garage that leads to yet another barn, and across the lawn is a Morton party barn. Designed to offer flexibility of use, there is a stage set up to make some music & when the spirit moves you roll up the carpets, pull the couches and chairs back and dance the night away on the open floor. From fields to forests, to a massive spring-fed, aerated swimming pond with pond side cottage, this is the Hudson Valley at its finest. Stuyvesant is just minutes from Kinderhook and only a short drive away from Hudson for exploring Warren Street and taking the train wherever the spirit takes you. In the case of this superb compound, dreams do indeed come true.
