The Arrival
Turn off Route 9 through a dark-green gate set between bluestone columns, and climb a mile into the woods — past an 18th-century Dutch barn and a still pond — until the manor rises into view. It is the kind of arrival guests remember long after they leave.
Built in 1785 by John Hendricks along the old Albany Post Road and long believed to have welcomed travelers as a wayside inn, the house carries the warmth of hospitality in every beam and stone. Over eight years, its current stewards restored the estate with care — honoring original fireplaces, wide-plank floors, and hand-hewn timber while introducing the comforts of a modern home.
The result is rare: genuine 18th-century character paired with world-class interior design, set in complete privacy yet moments from everything that makes Dutchess County a destination.
The House
Ten thousand square feet of rooms made for gathering — chandelier-lit reception spaces, fireside libraries, and two dining rooms — each layered with antiques and art, then quietly modernized for the way families live.
Beneath hand-hewn beams and iron chandeliers, a long harvest table runs the length of a room floored in bluestone and wrapped on every side by French doors. A great fireplace anchors one end; light pours in from every other. It is the room the whole house gravitates to — for long holiday dinners, a turn at the piano, and evenings that linger as the gardens glow through the glass.
Floor-to-ceiling shelves of antique books wrap a crimson sitting room anchored by a great 1700s hearth. Pour a drink from the antique bar, light the fire, and let the snow fall on the Post Road outside.
A green-walled formal dining room keeps its own fireplace and a preserved bar from the house's days as an inn. Off the kitchen, a beamed hearth-side room is made for unhurried breakfasts with the family.
Sage cabinetry, marble and butcher block, two large sinks, and a center island with room for everyone to gather. Bountiful breakfasts or a dinner party for twelve — the kitchen handles both with ease.
The Hendricks suite pairs a super-king bed with a private dressing room and a marble ensuite of shower and soaking tub. Three ensuite suites and four further bedrooms give families and groups room to spread out in comfort.
The Grounds
Beyond the house lies the real luxury: a heated pool, a summer kitchen, a pond crossed by a hand-built bridge, and gardens that glow after dark.
A covered bluestone pavilion — with a Wolf grill, sink, ice machine, and wine fridge — overlooks the heated pool and the barn beyond. Set the long table at dusk and let summer evenings stretch on.
A handsome terrace sits at the water's edge, with a hand-built bridge arcing across the pond to the lawns beyond. Double porches, a walled rose garden, and lawns framed by fifty-foot trees complete the grounds.
As evening falls, a hundred-light landscape system turns the gardens, pond, and the hand-chiseled triple-height Dutch barn luminous — the setting for s'mores by the fire pit and long nights under the stars.
The Barn
Hand-hewn beams rise three stories to an iron chandelier, paper lanterns drift above a great sectional, and a full pool table waits beneath the loft. The estate's restored Dutch barn is a party in waiting — for game nights and dancing, a film under the rafters, or a quiet drink as the light falls through the quatrefoil windows.

Dutchess County elegance beyond your wildest dreams. As the house came into view, jaws dropped. Every room reflects historic beauty with contemporary comfort. The gardens? IMAXian perfection.
Beautiful inside and out. We celebrated my wife's 40th with friends — fireside games, decadent s'mores, and luxurious comfort. A gem.
Architectural Digest quality — inside and out. A wonderful stay we won't soon forget.
