The roots of this enchanting property trace back to the era of King George, when Josiah Talcott secured the land through a royal land grant. In 1769, Talcott passed the torch to David Belknap, a pivotal figure in the region, with Isaac Belknap establishing a thriving business along the Hudson River waterfront.

A two-car garage provides practicality without compromising the farmhouse's authenticity. Revel in the warmth of history with three meticulously restored fireplaces, each telling a story. The fourth fireplace, a grand addition in the family room, and the stone wall along the west boundary were masterfully crafted by Bobby Hilfiger, brother of the renowned Tommy Hilfiger, using original stones from the property. While concrete evidence remains elusive, local lore hints at a potential connection to the Underground Railroad.
