283 Fostertown Road

Step into a piece of Hudson Valley history with this exceptional horse farm, originally built in 1922 by the military to house the first cavalry horses in the area. This peaceful, historic property seamlessly blends its storied past with modern amenities, making it a rare and beautiful find. The impressive main barn, a testament to its rich heritage, features a spacious center aisle illuminated by overhead LED lights. It includes 10 stall spaces, with 8 original stalls and 2 newly constructed in 2017. Among the stalls, you'll find a double-sized foaling stall, 4 stalls with a concrete base (including the oversized foaling stall currently used for a Percheron Draft cross rescue), and 6 stalls with a dirt/stone dust base. Six of the stalls are matted, and while 5 are in current use, others serve as storage for hay and barn supplies. The barn also boasts renovated office and lounge areas, transforming two rooms into lovely, functional spaces. A bathroom adds convenience, and a kitchen space with electric and water hookups, counters, and cabinets offers potential. The expansive loft, historically used for hay storage, presents an opportunity to be divided and transformed into a breathtaking living or event space. The property is ideal for equestrian pursuits, featuring 2 grass paddocks with vinyl fencing, an extra-large grass paddock with Electrobraid fencing and a large shelter, a 70-foot diameter sand footing round pen, and 2 well-drained grass riding and jumping fields. The scenic landscape is adorned with beautiful rolling hills, natural rock outcroppings, and a tree-lined perimeter, creating a picturesque setting. Additional buildings include a shed row added in the 1960s, which contains a small vinyl-fenced grass paddock and 5 stalls historically used for mares, foals, and a larger stallion enclosure. The current owners utilize this space for barn equipment storage and manure composting, but it offers considerable potential for various uses. Nestled on a hill overlooking the property, the spacious and immaculate ranch-style home offers comfort and tranquility. It features two fireplaces providing warmth and ambiance, a generous living area perfect for gatherings, and three spacious bedrooms. A full unfinished basement provides ample storage space or the potential for additional living areas. Enjoy the serenity of the front porch, perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks. Watch your horses graze while taking in the breeze or sunset, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and conversation with friends and family. This Hudson Valley horse farm is a unique gem, offering a harmonious blend of historical charm and contemporary functionality. Don't miss the opportunity to own this exceptional property. It's truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.
