Built circa 1780, this historical stone home is on the National Register For Historical Places. The Hardenbergh Manor stands on land purchased by Johannes Hardenbergh in 1706 and confirmed by a royal letter patent in 1708 by Queen Ann. It is believed that the clapboard addition was added in the 1820s. The house is steeped in local history and has acted as home, an inn, a store, the first post office in Roxbury and has been used as a seasonal retreat since 1969 by its current owners. Unique properties like this are a lure for history buffs, artist, writers or those seeking something truly wonderful and unique. Much of the home's original character and detail has remained in tact and unchanged - a conscious decision by the current owners who have loved owning a piece of Americana. It is a property that transcends passing architectural trends and modern conventions. The house features 5 fireplaces, 5 bedrooms, a large eat-in country kitchen, a dining room, two common rooms and 2 bathrooms. Some of the details that will thrill the purist are fine stone quoining around the exterior windows & doors, wide planked tongue & grooved floors, exposed floor joist, a beautiful cherry wood banister, period mantles on the fireplaces, two imposing cobblestone gatepost, period built-in cabinetry and a simplicity reminiscent of a bygone era. Adding to the allure and value of the property is a large metal roofed Dutch barn, a sweet stone smoke house, a stone fire pit and old fashioned garden favorites like lilacs, peonies and hydrangeas. The property is bordered on 3 sides by forever wild DEP land. The house is on 29 acres of rolling hills, open fields, and woodland forest. A sizable portion of the property borders the year round Bear Creek. Conveniently located about 20 minutes to both Hunter and Windham Ski Centers, close to hiking, fishing, boating and a short drive to quaint Catskill Mountain villages of Roxbury and Windham. The 2.30 drive from NYC make it an ideal choice for those seeking a country get-a-way.
