Welcome to the Ancramdale Country House, sited in the center of the quiet hamlet surrounded by the beautiful rolling countryside of Columbia County. This approx. 4000+ sqft home was initially built in 1836 and functioned as the New Phoenix Hotel. Over time, the property underwent several improvements, and today, the 4-bed and 3.5-bath main house and attached 2-bedroom apartment have a lot of potential to be used in a few different ways depending on the new owner's interests. Entering through the main door to one side, there is an expansive front room with access to a smaller space and full bath that could function as a primary suite or home office/studio with a separate entrance. On the other side of the first floor is an open floor plan connecting the living room and den (or formal dining space), leading to the eat-in kitchen ideal for entertaining, with access to the fully fenced-in backyard with a small inground pool and lounging patio space. Ascend the back stairway to reach 2 bedrooms and a shared full bath. Returning to the front of the home, upstairs has an additional bedroom, a full bath, and a gym (all gym equipment is included with the sale). On the other side of the floor, there is entry to the rentable 2-bedroom apartment, which has an additional entrance off the driveway. Interior access could be limited if desired. The current owners began updating the apartment kitchen and bath, and the listing purchase price considers the current state and the project's needed completion. The property is conveniently located 5 minutes to Pine Plains and the James Beard nominated Stissing House, 10 minutes to Millerton, and a half hour from Rhinebeck and Hudson. Enjoy the peaceful setting and sweeping landscapes renowned in this area and its artisanal shops and farms, such as the neighboring Farmer's Wife, a local farm-sourced eatery and boutique catering company rooted in the region's culinary delicacies.
