The whole package: Historic Home. Lovely Gardens. Gorgeous Swimming Pool. Designer Décor. Welcome to Haywood Farm House, an 1880s home lovingly restored home where you will find wide plank pine floors, rustic ceiling beams and painted wainscoting among 1800 square feet nestled on 3 quiet wood filled acres.
This is the perfect vacation home for families looking to get out of the city for farmhouse living, Hudson Valley sightseeing and splashing in the swimming pool!
After you exit off the 87 Thruway (just 90 minutes from NYC!), you’ll drive 7 minutes through apple orchards and horse farms before arriving at our front door. The flagstone steps will lead you to one of the best features of the house: the long classic front porch complete with rocking chairs which makes the perfect setting for a glass of lemonade or morning coffee while you admire the views.
Step into the house and back in time onto the original wood plank floors throughout recently restored to their former glory and the original ceiling beams featured on the ground floor. The owners selected a neutral color palette throughout the home so that the rustic features of the house and the natural beauty of the surrounding land would stand out. In most rooms you will find fresh cut flowers and greenery selected for your arrival!
The large eat in kitchen with original farmhouse ceiling beams, farmhouse sink, soapstone countertops, schoolhouse style light fixtures and a custom built reclaimed pine wood kitchen island (with vintage 1930s factory stools) will inspire you to bake a pie with some local fruit.
