Dobrodošli na povijesnu farmu Surdeval, prostrano imanje od 4.500 četvornih metara, s pet spavaćih soba i četiri kupaonice na 24,5 hektara, smješteno između šarmantnih sela Chatham, Kinderhook i Valatie. Tijekom desetljeća, originalna kuća iz ranih 1800-ih proširena je i prerazmještena. Sada je formalni ulaz u kuću s grandiozne drvoredne kružne pristupne ceste do bočnih vrata, koja vode do predsoblja, koje otvara put velikoj dnevnoj sobi s gredama (s ugodnom peći na drva) zaobilazeći rijetko korištena prednja vrata i otkrivajući privlačne klasične zakrivljene stepenice do drugog kata. S druge strane stepenica, na prvom katu, smješteni su spavaća soba ili radna soba i pripadajuća kupaonica, dok se na drugom katu nalaze tri tradicionalne spavaće sobe i dvije kupaonice. Kuhinja je ažurirana i uključuje kuhinjske ormariće od trešnje, a dodana je i svijetla blagovaonica. Prizemlje je značajno prošireno kako bi uključilo druge lijepe stepenice do spavaćih soba/kupaonica na gornjem katu i veliku glavnu spavaću sobu sa pećnicom na drva, odvojenom garderobom i policama, luksuznom kadom s hidromasažom i francuskim vratima koja vode na kameni patio, uz skladište sa mrežom. Nekoliko koraka od glavne rezidencije, mala štala od drveta potpuno je renovirana kako bi postala stilizirani studio sa šupljim stropom, policama i ormarima od trešnje, kamenim radnim površinama i sudoperom, te punom kupaonicom. U blizini je ogromna, spektakularna štala s drvenim trupcima izvorno korištena za skladištenje sijena i žitarica na gornjem katu, a na izlaznom donjem katu staje za konje i druge životinje. Stara korna i suhi WC ostaci su tih prošlih vremena. Lijepo uređen s perenijskim autohtonim i show cvijećem, drvećem i grmljem šadova, posjed obuhvaća stogodišnje drveće, travnate livade i pozivni zakrivljeni bazen. Smješten na seoskoj cesti s drugim farmama, ovo područje vrlo je cijenjeno kao jedno od utočišta za prosperitetne obitelji iz New Yorka, osobito vikendom tijekom ljetnih mjeseci. Kuća je samo niz cestu od Centra za suvremene izvedbe PS21 i Muzeja Shaker u Chathamu, 2,5 sata od New Yorka i Bostona, pola sata do Hudsona, Albanyja i lako dostupnih mirnih Catskill i Berkshire planina.

Welcome to historic Surdeval Farm, a spacious 4,500 square-foot, five-bedroom, four-bath homestead on 24.5 acres located between the charming villages of Chatham, Kinderhook, and Valatie. Over the decades the original early 1800’s core home was expanded and rearranged. Now the formal entrance to the home is from the grand tree-lined circular driveway to the side door, to a foyer, which opens to a large, beamed living room (with welcoming woodburning fireplace) bypassing the infrequently used front door and revealing an attractive classic curved stair to the second floor. On the other side of the stair, on the first floor, a bedroom or den and adjoining bathroom were installed, while on the second floor there are three traditional bedrooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen was updated to include cherrywood kitchen cabinets and adjacent light-filled dining room was added. The ground floor was extensively enlarged to include a second handsome stair to the upstairs bedrooms/baths and a large primary bedroom suite with wood burning fireplace, separate walk-in closet and shelves, luxurious Jacuzzi-type bathtub, and French doors to a stone patio, adjacent to a screened porch. A few steps away from the main residence, a small post and beam barn was completely renovated to become a stylish vaulted-ceiling studio with cherry shelving and cabinetry, stone counters and sink, plus full bathroom. Nearby is a huge, spectacular hillside post-and-beam barn originally used to store hay and grain on the upper floor and on the walk-out lower-level, stalls for horses and other animals. A corncrib and outhouse are remnants of these bygone times. Beautifully landscaped to include perennial native and showy flowers, dogwood and shad shrubs, the property encompasses hundred-year-old trees, grassy meadows, and an inviting curved Gunite pool. Set on a country road with other farms, this area is highly valued as one of the retreats for prosperous New York City families, especially on weekends during the summer months. The home is just down the road from the PS21 Center for Contemporary Performance and the Chatham Shaker Museum, 2.5 hours from New York City and Boston, half hour to Hudson, Albany, and an easy distance to the peaceful Catskill and Berkshire Mountains. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
