Dobrodošli na Hardwicke Farmhouse. Smještena na više od osam privatnih hektara uz mirnu seosku cestu, ova izvanredna kuća u stilu grčke obnove pripovijeda priču o gotovo tri stoljeća povijesti okruga Columbia. Izvorna struktura datira iz 1740-ih, s raskošnom središnjom dvoranom u stilu grčke obnove koja je dodana 1840-ih. Njegov upečatljiv moderni dodatak sredine 20. stoljeća dizajnirao je svjetski poznati arhitekt John Messick, osnivač MCWB Architects i suvremeni vizionar s I. M. Peiem. Njegov rad ponovno je zamišljeno imanje s hrabrim arhitektonskim linijama i velikom prostorijom inspiriranom silosom koja ispunjava dom svjetlošću i nudi bucoličke daleke poglede na okolna polja.

Unutra, povijesne sobe djeluju intimno i prizemljeno. Rukama obrađeni greda, široki podovi, obnovljeni hardver i nizozemska vrata odražavaju rane korijene doma. Jutarnje svjetlo ulazi kroz prednju salu i blagovaonicu, koje su obje ojačane kaminima na drva. Iza tih soba, arhitektonski dodatak otvara se u dramatičnu veliku prostoriju s kaminom u uglnjaku i širokim pogledom na bazen, štale i polja. Kuhinja i blagovaonica dijele ovaj prozračan, moderan prostor, stvarajući prirodan tijek za duge obroke, okupljanja i mirna jutra promatrajući jednostavno, prirodno čari svake sezone. Tri spavaće sobe sa vlastitim kupaonicama uključuju prostranu glavnu suite na prvom katu s vlastitim kaminom, velikom garderobom i pogledima preko imanja.

Dom nudi elegantne prostore za okupljanje i mirne kutke za bijeg s knjigom ili šalicom čaja. Dodatne sobe širom kuće nude fleksibilnost za urede, studije ili goste. Na otvorenom, krajolik uključuje ostatke stare voćnjaka s jabukama, novo zasađeno drveće i vrtove, kao i otvorena polja i livade s divljim cvijećem. Obnovljeni ribnjak, napajan dvama izvorima svježe vode, nalazi se pored bazena i kamenih terasa, a istrošene štale dodaju autentičan ruralni karakter. Rezidencija je okružena 600 hektara poljoprivrednog zemljišta, nudeći prekrasne neprekidne pastoralne poglede.

Imanje je prošlo opsežne renovacije i promišljene poboljšanja, uključujući novi metalni krov i značajne ažuriranja u unutrašnjosti i pejzažu. Kinderhook, Chatham i Hudson su lako dostupni, a Međunarodna zračna luka Albany udaljena je oko trideset minuta, što putovanje čini iznenađujuće jednostavnim. Svakodnevni život ovdje oblikuje mirna seoska okolina, obližnje farme, lokalna jela i jednostavan pristup najboljem od doline Hudson.

Welcome to Hardwicke Farmhouse. Set on more than eight private acres along a quiet country road, this exceptional Greek Revival farmhouse tells the story of nearly three centuries of Columbia County history. The original structure dates to the 1740s, with a gracious Greek Revival center hall added in the 1840s. Its striking mid-20th-century modern addition was designed by world-renowned architect John Messick, a founding partner of MCWB Architects and contemporary visionary with I. M. Pei. His work reimagined the property with bold architectural lines and a silo-inspired great room that fills the home with light and offers bucolic far-reaching views of the surrounding farmland.
Inside, the historic rooms feel intimate and grounded. Hand-hewn beams, wide plank floors, restored hardware, and Dutch doors reflect the home’s early roots. Morning light drifts through the front parlor and dining room, both anchored by wood-burning fireplaces. Beyond these rooms, the architectural addition opens into a dramatic great room with an inglenook fireplace and sweeping views of the pool, barns, and fields. The kitchen and dining area share this airy, modern space, creating a natural flow for long meals, gatherings, and quiet mornings observing each season’s simple, natural charm. Three en suite bedrooms include a spacious first floor primary suite with its own fireplace, a large dressing room, and views across the property.
The home offers gracious gathering spaces and quiet corners to escape to with a book or cup of tea. Additional rooms throughout the home offer flexibility for offices, studios, or guests. Outdoors, the landscape includes remnants of the old apple orchard, newly planted trees and gardens, and open fields and wildflower meadows. A reclaimed adjacent pond, fed by two freshwater springs, sits beside the pool and stone terraces, and weathered barns add authentic rural character. The residence is surrounded by 600 acres of farmland, offering beautiful uninterrupted pastoral views.
The property has undergone extensive renovations and thoughtful improvements, including a new metal roof and significant updates across both the interior and landscape. Kinderhook, Chatham, and Hudson are all within easy reach, and Albany International Airport is about thirty minutes away, making travel surprisingly simple. Daily life here is shaped by quiet countryside, nearby farms, local dining, and easy access to the best of the Hudson Valley. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
