Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, including a spacious potential primary suite with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and brick, generous closets, and remote-controlled skylights. Two additional full baths complete the upper level, including one featuring a Jacuzzi-style tub and skylight.

It was once part of the historic Hardenbergh family holdings and operated successfully as The Hardenbergh House Bed & Breakfast from 1998 through 2009. With appropriate municipal approvals, future owners may wish to explore similar hospitality opportunities. Rich in history yet thoughtfully updated for modern living, the Historic Old Orchard Farmhouse presents a rare opportunity to own a distinctive Hudson Valley property where historic charm, natural beauty, flexible living space, and an outstanding location come together.
