Home Details for 831 County Route 12

Fall in Love with a Country Retreat Like No Other – Circa 1820 Charm Meets Modern Opportunity There are homes that are simply lived in—and then there are homes that live in you. Welcome to an extraordinary 1820s two-family estate tucked away in New Hampton, NY. With its cedar shake siding and classic brickwork, this home looks like it was plucked from the Hamptons and placed gently onto 2.4 acres of peaceful, pond-kissed countryside. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel it—that sense of timelessness. The winding drive leads you past wildflower gardens and mature trees, eventually opening to a setting that feels more like a retreat than a residence. It’s quiet here, but not silent. The pond hums with life, birdsong fills the air, and every breeze carries with it the scent of something blooming. Step inside, and you're transported. The home has been tastefully renovated while honoring its roots, showcasing the kind of character only a home with two centuries of stories can possess. Original wide-plank floors creak gently beneath your feet. Exposed brick walls and ceiling beams whisper of craftsmanship long forgotten. Fireplaces on both sides offer a cozy glow and focal point for gatherings. What makes this property truly special is its versatility. With two completely separate living spaces—each with two bedrooms—you can live side-by-side with extended family, host guests with complete privacy, or live in one side and rent the other for reliable income. One unit even includes a finished walk-up attic, perfect for a home office, creative studio, or peaceful retreat. Beyond the interiors lies a lifestyle most only dream of. Tend your garden in the morning sun. Spend afternoons listening to the rustle of trees reflected in the water. Store your toys, tinker with projects, or just admire your collection in the oversized three-car garage. Whether you're an artist, gardener, entrepreneur, or someone simply seeking space to breathe, this home offers it all. Located just 75 minutes from New York City and a short drive to the region’s best wineries, farm markets, outdoor adventures, and cultural events—including Bethel Woods—it’s a gateway to the good life. This is more than a property. It’s a feeling. A story waiting for its next chapter. A place to fall in love with again and again. Come experience it for yourself. Let the land speak to you. Let the home welcome you. Let the lifestyle unfold.
