Barclay Manor — A Hidden Gem of Historic Grandeur in the Heart of Saugerties
Tucked away on two secluded acres just minutes from the vibrant Saugerties village, Barclay Manor is a rare blend of elegance, scale, and total privacy. From the moment you turn into the long drive, you're met with old-world charm: soaring trees, antique bluestone paths, and lush gardens that frame the home like a storybook. Step through the doors and into a home that's as gracious as it is grounded. Built with incredible craftsmanship in a Renaissance Revival architecture style (and originally home to a sea captain) the home is full of lived in elegance and timeless character. Every corner of the house speaks to a life well-traveled, and is reminiscent of a villa in Europe. The layout offers five generously sized bedrooms (plus a sixth flex space), five full bathrooms, and endless pockets of serenity. Cozy up to a wood burning fireplace in the den off the kitchen, or gather around the second large hearth in the great room. Original details like a grand curved staircase entryway, plaster walls, rich woodwork, and a juliet balcony off the upstairs hallway adds soul and presence, while oversized rooms offer flexibility for hosting, relaxing, or simply spreading out. It's the kind of home where you can entertain effortlessly—or savor the quiet with a cup of coffee and a good book.
Outside, the experience continues. A flower-draped terrace leads to multiple entertaining spaces, including an expansive bluestone patio with room for al fresco dinners and slow afternoons by the pool. The heated saline pool is surrounded by historic trees and lush landscaping, while hidden garden trails wind through the property. Take the ivy covered stone steps down to a magical koi pond, or enjoy the fire pit and dreamy shaded seating areas. Whether you're throwing a summer soirée or stargazing in solitude, this backyard delivers the magic.
And while it may feel like a world away, you're just minutes from restaurants, shops, farmers markets, and the Hudson River. Saugerties is a beloved destination for a reason—easy access to the Thruway, 15 minutes to Woodstock, 20 to Kingston, and under two hours to NYC. This is the kind of property that rarely comes along: storied, special, and ready for its next chapter.
