Property Description

Steeped in the storied legacy of the Hudson Valley, the ''Gatehouse'' at the entrance of what once was Ferncliff Farm, offers a rare opportunity to rescue and own a piece of Gilded Age history. Established in 1854 as the gateway to the Astor family's legendary ''Ferncliff'' country seat on the Hudson, this structure served as the threshold to an empire of innovation and prestige. Once the residence of farm superintendents and later the chauffeur for John Jacob Astor IV, the gatehouse has watched nearly 170 years of American history unfold from its position along the historic carriage routes of Rhinebeck.

Today, the residence stands in a state of poetic though significant deterioration, offering a ''blank canvas'' for a dedicated preservationist. While the elements have reclaimed much of its early ornamentation, the home's noble architectural detail and unparalleled provenance remain. This is a call to a visionary steward--one who sees past the current decay to the architectural jewel beneath, calling out for rescue. Located on the edge of what was once a 2,800-acre marvel of technological know-how and fine landscaping, the property is a landmark documented in countless historical archives. Long vacant and awaiting a complete restoration, this is a chance to revive a sentinel of the Astor era and anchor yourself in the heritage of the Hudson River's most celebrated estate. Located just moments from both the center of Rhinebeck and the Rhinecliff train station. The property is sold as-is; bring your architect to assist you in reimagining a true treasure.
In anticipation of preservationists from afar seeking a project, and allowing time for the determination of expenses, the seller will consider all offers received by April 23rd at 3:00pm.

Sale is subject to the approval of the NYS Supreme Court or Atty General.
