295 Stone Mill Road, Hudson, NY, 12534 | $285,000

Welcome to Milham Farmhouse, a circa 1860 Greek Revival center hall farmhouse set on a quiet country road just ten minutes from downtown Hudson, with pastoral farmland views, mature trees, and 1. 3 acres offering ample room for gardens and a pool. Originally part of the Henry S. Milham and Cornelia Van Deusen farmstead, the property takes its name from a man described in period newspapers as one of Claverack's most respected citizens. Taken to the studs and ready for restoration, it offers the chance to bring a significant piece of Columbia County history back to its former glory. Many original details remain in place, including the handsome facade with original millwork, wood floors, clapboard siding, and a striking original exterior fieldstone chimney. Three bedrooms are framed; two bathrooms are roughed in, one with a sink and toilet in place. The electrical service has been updated with a modern panel, and an old carriage house on the grounds holds its own potential as a studio, workspace, or guest cabin. For the buyer ready to take on a restoration, Milham Farmhouse offers something increasingly hard to find: original character, substantial square footage, and a private setting that feels a world apart. Its nearest neighbors are old barns and working farms: Holmquest Farms and Greenhouse, MX Morningstar Farms, and Whistledown Farm, a landscape largely unchanged for generations. The eastern views reach toward Klocke Estate, five minutes down the road, where upscale dining and a distillery overlook the valley. Downtown Hudson, with restaurants, cafes, galleries, and the Amtrak station, is less than ten minutes away. Lake Taghkanic State Park, with a large lake and sandy beach, is fifteen minutes away. Few properties bring together this much history, this kind of landscape, and this proximity to Hudson. Finish it right, and Milham Farmhouse will be worth every bit of the effort.
