629 Ackert Hook RD Rhinebeck, NY 12572

Set back from the road with a tree-lined drive creating perfect privacy, this c1762 Dutch-style Stone House on 21.3 acres is a picture-perfect delight. Retaining its original details of hewn beams and hand-crafted hardware, it features a richly-paneled Great Room with fireplace; opening to an enclosed sitting porch; a dining room with oversized hearth; and an adjacent sun-lit kitchen with side entry. A second-floor guest suite has its own staircase; and an addtl. 3 bedrooms (one with a shared/tandem bath). Once a renowned lilac farm, stands of specimen lilacs are surrounded by a sweeping lawn dotted with tall trees. Set just to the side of the residence, an inviting pool borders the light woodlands, a relaxing spot for summer lounging and al fresco dining. At the top of a gentle hill, an original timber frame barn has limitless possibilities; and features an att. 3-BR guest house. Strawberry Hill is only minutes to Rhinebeck town center, Red Hook, Bard and a short 2 hours to NYC.
