730 Ackert Hook Road Rhinebeck NY 12572 MLS #150146

Just minutes to the village of Rhinebeck but a world away, this proper estate sits on 25 bucolic acres of rolling wildflower meadows. The stately c1890 farmhouse looks out over two ponds and a tennis court. A guest house, pool and fenced vegetable garden are tucked neatly the side. The farmhouse has remained true-to-form over its 130+ year history, with its ornamented facade and restored shutters. Enter into the mudroom, with built in cabinetry and charming brick-laid floor, and continue into the stunning kitchen. Recently remodeled with classic marble countertops, beautifully creamy cabinetry with dark wood accents, and walls of windows around the eat-in table. Off the kitchen, you’ll find a built in window seat with Workstead lighting, laundry and a half bath with a custom carved soapstone sink and brass hardware. The dining and living rooms are both situated off the front hall and each has a woodburning fireplace. The expansive primary suite is on the first floor, with custom closets and a large bay window overlooking the meadows. A primary bath features an amazing Calcutta Viola marble shower, a vintage double vanity with wall-hung brass hardware and a soaking tub. Upstairs, you’ll find four more well-appointed and large bedrooms and two full baths with Waterworks hardware, handmade tile and lighting from Apparatus Studio. On a walk around the grounds you’ll find large koi stocked in the ponds, perennial flower gardens, a new tennis court and a new heated gunite pool. The pool house has a full kitchen, full bath and a fireplace. The expansive property is surrounded by other large parcels, and includes a separate, developable lot across the street. 730 Ackert Hook is a proper estate just minutes to the village, 2h to NYC and under 10m to Amtrak.
