45 Bruyn Turnpike Wallkill, NY 12589

Historic, charming, efficient and only 90 minutes from NYC! Available for the first time in 35 years, Ivy Nook Farm was built by Dr. James Graham in 1772 and once played host to a troop review by General George Washington during the Revolutionary War. Today, the farm still features 73.63 acres of rolling meadows, including frontage on the Wallkill River, and a multi-winged 19th-century dairy barn built from massive hand-hewn posts and beams. The spacious farmhouse itself now boasts five bedrooms and 2.5 baths, including a bedroom and full en-suite bath on the first floor, a sunny updated kitchen, zoned heating, and a 2-story office and den wing that could easily be adapted for use as an accessory apartment. Original details abound throughout, including wideboard hardwood floors and a remarkable Dutch door with strap hinges and antique lock hardware at the floor-though entry hall. A ground-mounted 5-panel solar array (owned not leased) provides virtually all of the property’s electrical power, and an agricultural tax exemption on the farmland can be used to further reduce costs. Close by the village of Wallkill and a short excursion to the towns of Gardiner and New Paltz, Ivy Nook Farm already brings convenience, historic charm and financial savvy to its next great chapter.
