Circa 1860, this formal Victorian/Colonial "farmhouse" is in remarkable condition with 2 outbuildings. It is located less than one hour north of Manhattan in a rural lakeside setting which is easily accessible under all weather conditions making it a perfect full-time residence or weekend home. It rests on over an acre of land with winter lake views and is bordered to the north, east and west by 167 acres of wooded area. Skiing, golfing, antiqueing, TOP-RATED eating, live entertainment and shopping are all very nearby.

Located in the historic Township of Pawling, the house is just a few hundred yards north of the Putnam/Dutchess County border resulting in a close proximity to NYC, but without the high Real Estate Taxes of Westchester/Putnam. The Southeast (formerly Brewster North), Patterson, and Pawling train stations are all within 10 minutes.
