1365 Old Post Road is a storybook home set on nearly five magical acres in the hamlet of Rifton. The c. 1865 farmhouse was lovingly clad in stone by a skilled mason in the 1950s, further adding to its timeless appeal. From the moment you arrive, the property radiates warmth, character, and possibility.
Leave your boots in the entry alcove and find yourself enveloped in charm, with details that reflect the home's history and soul. The kitchen retains a vintage country feel, lovely and functional as-is but also full of potential for a thoughtful update that honors the home's spirit. On the main floor, take your pick from multiple welcoming public spaces, a living room with a stone fireplace as its' centerpiece, a tucked away den, and the glassed-in sunroom - a tranquil and inviting space that looks out over the lush, picturesque backyard, offering the perfect place to begin or end your day. Upstairs, you'll find an office nook and bedrooms that are sweet and cozy - one opens onto a private deck where you can sip coffee among the trees or watch the stars come out. A detached garage offers extra storage or space to tinker, including additional covered space below ideal for storing equipment and tools. The land itself is a beautiful blend of landscaping, lawn, mature trees, and woods--a quiet, natural setting that invites exploration and rest. This is a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind stone home that feels like a hidden retreat, ready to be loved just as it is or reimagined into something even more extraordinary.
Just 15 minutes from the vibrant hubs of Kingston and New Paltz--and under two hours from New York City--this home offers the rare combination of charm, privacy, and convenience. Whether you're seeking a peaceful full-time residence, a stylish weekend escape, or a rewarding investment in one of the Hudson Valley's most desirable corridors, 1365 Old Post Road is a place where history, nature, and potential beautifully align.
