Property Description

Steeped in Hillsdale’s rich history, this extraordinary property began its life as one of the area’s original grist mills, situated in the area of Hillsdale once known as Murray’s Corner. Thoughtfully transformed over the years into a distinctive residence, it seamlessly blends historic character with the tranquility of a private country retreat. Set on 8.7 enchanting acres, the property feels as though it has been lifted from the pages of a storybook. A meandering stream, cascading waterfalls, and a picturesque pond create a peaceful backdrop, while the soothing sounds of flowing water provide a constant sense of calm and escape. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the grounds offer an array of inviting outdoor spaces. A spacious deck overlooks the stream and waterfalls, multiple fire pits provide gathering spots throughout the property, and a dock perched next to the pond for quiet moments by the water. A charming pond-side retreat offers comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, while a quaint two-story barn/shed creates another idyllic perch from which to enjoy the sound of a nearby waterfall. Additional outbuildings include a historic barn ready for restoration or reinvention, a garage, and a potting shed. Footbridges and walking paths wind throughout the landscape, inviting exploration of the property's natural beauty at every turn. Inside, the home offers generous living space with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, allowing family and guests to spread out comfortably. The second floor sitting area features a cathedral ceiling and overlooks the stream and falls. Historic elements remain throughout, from original floors and woodwork and including an original mill wheel that now lays proudly at the entrance to the rear shed, serving as a reminder of the property's unique past. Despite its remarkably private setting, the property enjoys a convenient location just over a mile from the center of Hillsdale, less than two miles from Catamount Mountain Resort, 15 minutes from Great Barrington, MA, 25 minutes from Hudson, 10 minutes from the Taconic State Parkway, and approximately 2¼ hours from New York City. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Hillsdale history, surrounded by natural beauty, timeless charm, and the soothing presence of water at every turn.
