Home Details for 3 Route 216

Circa-1790 Hudson Valley Estate—Where History, Character, and Opportunity Come Together There are homes you admire…and then there are places that stay with you long after you’ve left. Nestled on nearly four picturesque acres in the heart of the Hudson Valley, this extraordinary estate offers a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a remarkable piece of local history. For more than two centuries, this exceptional homestead has preserved the craftsmanship, character, and timeless beauty that simply cannot be recreated today. As you arrive, the distinctive carriage garage crowned with its church-like steeple offers the first glimpse that this is no ordinary country estate. Mature trees, sweeping lawns, historic stonework, and an impressive collection of barns and outbuildings create a sense of privacy and space that feels far beyond its acreage. Inside, historic charm blends beautifully with modern comfort. Rich architectural details, generous living spaces, and thoughtful updates create a home equally suited for everyday living and unforgettable gatherings. Among its rarest features is a working Sedgwick hand-powered elevator, while the original bread oven serves as a lasting reminder of the property’s remarkable past. The sun-filled third level offers approximately 900 square feet of heated living space with abundant windows overlooking the grounds. Whether envisioned as an artist’s studio, writer’s retreat, music room, gallery, home office, fitness loft, wellness space, or private guest suite, this inspiring level offers endless possibilities. Adding to the estate’s remarkable versatility is a charming guest cottage along with an exceptional collection of historic barns, workshops, and garages. Automotive enthusiasts will appreciate approximately nine garage bays, including a garage equipped with an automotive lift—ideal for maintaining, displaying, or storing a prized collection. These versatile outbuildings also offer exceptional opportunities for artisans, hobbyists, collectors, equestrian enthusiasts, workshops, or creative spaces. A heated Swedish sauna provides the perfect place to relax and recharge. Steeped in the history of one of East Fishkill’s earliest homesteads, this estate offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find. While rich in historic character, the property is not historically designated, allowing future owners the flexibility to thoughtfully preserve, renovate, and personalize it. Whether your vision is a private country estate, a multigenerational family compound, an inspiring creative retreat, an equestrian property, a haven for the automotive collector, or boutique hospitality or wellness opportunities (subject to local approvals), this exceptional property offers the space, history, and versatility to bring that vision to life. Ideally located just minutes from the vibrant City of Beacon, enjoy acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, a thriving arts scene, and the renowned Dia Beacon museum. Nearby are wineries, hiking trails, and outstanding public and private golf courses. Convenient access to I-84, I-684, the Taconic State Parkway, and Metro-North’s express service to Grand Central Terminal makes commuting or weekend escapes from New York City remarkably convenient. Some homes are simply purchased. Rare estates are entrusted to their next steward. Welcome to the next chapter of this remarkable Hudson Valley legacy.
