Byenveni nan Mac Brown Waterhouse, yon pwopriyete istoryal ki gen 119 a jaden ki chita nan yon vale kache ki ofri tout izòlman ak bèlte ki pa janm fini. Kaye orijinal la ki te fèt nan ane 1830 yo sezi nan fen yon chemen prive nan Claverack, NY, kote wout la fini nan yon chimen gravye won ki relye ak sous dlo wòch orijinal la. De gwo pond jwe sou tè a, youn dirèkteman devan kay la ki gen oxygène e ki se pou naje. Sitiye ant prairies ak forè matirite, prensipal kay la, grangou ki renove, ak bèl atelye a se kenbe ak travay wòch teras, yon rezo trail, ak jaden ki planifye ak anpil atansyon. Anviwònman an se kalm, restoratif, e li konekte anpil ak tè a, men li sèlman yon ti vwayaj nan tou de Hudson ak Great Barrington.

Kaye ansyen an ofri kat chanm ak de twalèt atravè 2,825 pye kare, kote detay orijinal tankou moldings, planche an bwa, ak pòt Olandè yo kenbe cham ansyen li. Yon salon doub jantiy e yon ti biwo ekipe ak etajè modilè Vitsoe, mennen nan yon zòn manje klere, yon kwizin, ak aksè dirèk nan patyo ak jaden yo. Konfigurasyon an ankouraje yon ritm andedan-deyò fasil, ak poches kouvri, ak plizyè teras pou detann, kwit manje, oswa rasanble. De eskalye monte nan chanm ki nan nivo siperyè, kote ekspoze sid la ranpli chak sal ak limyè, ak saro a te izole pou amelyore konfor tout ane a. Tout kote nan kay la, yon palèt koulè entansyonèl pote douvwa ak kowezyon. Desen an an jeneral rasanble sansibilite Ewopeyen yo ak karaktè Hudson Valley, balanse itilite ak fasilite, chalè, ak sofistikasyon silansye.

Atravè jaden an, gen yon grangou istorik ki totalman izole ki te transfòme an yon estidyo kreyatif gwo echèl, ki gen ladan yon twalèt ak yon beny clawfoot, yon kwizinèt, ak elektrik ak HVAC ajou. Yon ti kay potting ki separe ofri yon lòt espas versatile, ideyal kòm yon estidyo jaden, ti biwo ekriven, oswa yon kabann envite pou lavni. Li konekte ak yon chèz douch deyò ki envite nan beny restoratif anba zetwal yo ak chemine li, beny clawfoot, ak douch deyò. Apre kay la, yon karport ki gen chaj EV ak yon jeneratè pou tout pwopriyete an asire konfor ak kontinwite tout ane a.

Pond prensipal la se sant pwopriyete a—oxyge, naje, ak ak yon plaj pave ak yon firepit. Li ideyal pou naje, obsève zwazo, oswa rasanble aswè. Zanno, heron, ak menm obsèvasyon malfezan fè li yon paradi pou obsève zwazo. Jaden terase pa The Secret Gardener antoure kay la ak yon melanj estil kabann nan plant flè, zèb, ak legim. Tè ki rewilded ak prairies mennen nan de mil trail ki antretyen atravè zèb natif natal ak pye bwa ki wo. Tè a kalifye pou yon egzansyon forè ak gen plizyè zòn klè, ki ofri potansyèl pou yon kay envite, chwal, oswa menm yon helipad. Kit se pou òganize mizik sou gazon an, rekòlte nan jaden an, oswa gade syèl la chanje ki reflete nan pond lan, Mac Brown Waterhouse se yon pwopriyete eritaj ra ak yon veritab santiyè.

Welcome to Mac Brown Waterhouse, a storied 119-acre estate set within a hidden valley offering complete seclusion and timeless beauty. The original 1830s farmhouse is tucked away at the end of a private lane in Claverack, NY, where the road terminates in a round gravel driveway anchored by the property’s original stone well. Two large ponds grace the land, one directly in front of the house that is aerated and swimmable. Sited among meadows and mature woodlands, the main house, upgraded barn, and charming studio shed are framed by terraced stonework, a network of trails, and thoughtfully designed gardens. The setting is peaceful, restorative, and deeply connected to the land, yet only a short drive to both Hudson and Great Barrington.

The antique farmhouse offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms across 2,825 square feet, where original details like moldings, wood floors, and Dutch doors preserve its old-world charm. A generous double living room and an office nook outfitted with Vitsoe modular shelving, lead to a bright dining area, kitchen, and direct access to the patios and gardens. The layout encourages an easy indoor-outdoor rhythm, with covered porches, and multiple terraces for lounging, cooking, or gathering. Two staircases rise to the upper-level bedrooms, where the southern exposure fills each room with light, and the attic has been insulated to improve year-round comfort. Throughout the home an intentional color palette lends softness and cohesion. The overall design brings together European sensibility and Hudson Valley character, balancing utility with ease, warmth, and quiet sophistication.


Across the garden sits a fully insulated, historic barn that has been transformed into a large-scale creative studio, complete with a bathroom with a clawfoot tub, kitchenette, updated electrical and HVAC. A detached potting shed offers another versatile space, ideal as a garden studio, writer’s nook, or future guest cottage. It’s connected to an outdoor bath deck that invites restorative soaks beneath the stars with its fireplace, clawfoot tub, and outdoor shower. Next to the house, a carport with EV charging and a full-property generator ensures comfort and continuity year-round.


The primary pond is the centerpiece of the property—aerated, swimmable, and bordered by a pebble beach and firepit. It's ideal for swimming, birdwatching, or evening gatherings. Cranes, herons, and even bald eagle sightings make it a birdwatching paradise. Terraced gardens by The Secret Gardener surround the home with a cottage-style blend of flowering plants, herbs and vegetables. Rewilded fields and meadows lead to two miles of maintained trails through native grasses and towering trees. The land qualifies for a forestry exemption and includes multiple cleared areas, offering potential for a guest house, horses, or even a helipad. Whether hosting music on the lawn, harvesting from the garden, or watching the changing sky reflect in the pond, Mac Brown Waterhouse is a rare legacy estate and true sanctuary. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
