Welcome to Wagar Farmstead at Upper Hanging Rock, a stunningly preserved and thoughtfully restored 19th-century farmhouse with a barn and private waterfall, all set on 6 picturesque acres. Nestled along the Beerkill, this property offers a serene retreat, with the soothing sound of the gently flowing stream cascading over the waterfall in your own backyard. The grounds have been thoughtfully designed to highlight its natural beauty, offering multiple spots to take in the scenery, from gently tiered stone patios to expansive ledges and walls that harken back to a bygone era. Whether you're strolling down to the water, crossing the charming footbridge, or enjoying a refreshing swim in the private swimming hole, you'll find yourself immersed in all of nature's grandeur. A dream for fishing enthusiasts, the Beerkill is stocked annually with brown trout, providing an exceptional fishing experience right at your doorstep. The property also features a rare, well-preserved 1,800-square-foot barn, a relic from its days as a working dairy farm. With original wood beams, plank flooring, oversized sliding barn doors, and soaring 24-foot ceilings with a loft, this barn presents endless possibilities whether you envision it as a barndominium, artist's studio, or gathering space for celebrations with family and friends. Adjacent to the barn, a 1,200-square-foot covered bluestone patio offers an additional private refuge away from the main house. Inside, the farmhouse exudes classic Hudson Valley charm, featuring wide plank floors, a spacious banquet-style dining room, and a country kitchen with views of the falls. The kitchen is anchored by a showstopping antique stove, pine cupboards, and a quaint back staircase. The living room, with its matching velvet sofas and fireplace, provides a cozy retreat. The home offers eight spacious bedrooms and 3.5 baths, including seven bedrooms and two baths on the upper level, and a first-floor guest suite with a private sitting area and kitchenette. The finished third level offers additional space for recreation or a home office (not included in the square footage). In addition to its beauty, the home is built to last, featuring Anderson windows, cement board siding, and zoned hydronic high-efficiency electric baseboard heaters. Modern updates like spray foam insulation, three electric meters, and solar exterior lighting ensure energy efficiency and comfort. Whether you are seeking a full-time residence, a country getaway, or something in between, this exceptional estate offers a one-of-a-kind connection to nature with its stunning waterfall views, private stream, and serene natural backdrop. The historic character and timeless craftsmanship of this home have been lovingly preserved, making it a rare find that blends natural beauty with enduring quality.
