    4 bedroom and 4 1/2 bath on secluded rural estate: sleeps 8-12

    This home was just redone, to maximize your comfort. There are 4 bedrooms: a master bedroom with a king bed and master bath (shower for two and claw-foot tub), 2 double bedrooms with their own private showerbaths, and a queen bedroom, with a showerbath which can be shared by those sleeping on the upstairs sitting-room pullout (full) or daybed (twin). In addition, there is a portable twin. All-in-all, up to 12 can sleep comfortably in this air-conditioned home.

    If you do need to stay in touch, there is free high-speed wi-fi and Apple TV. The wood-burning fireplace, adjacent to the large, open, eat-in kitchen and dining areas, makes for a cozy gathering in the evening – if you are not outside grilling, or watching the stars from the back deck.

    About Ripley Hathaway

    I am a landscape architect who grew up on this property. I live just down the hill from the Carriage House and have spent most of my life along the Hudson River. I will be happy to pass along local knowledge about the valley, and to steer you to the best farms and farmstands, restaurants and movie theaters (including a drive-in), and any other activities you may wish to pursue.

    Ripley Hathaway purchased this Estate in 1966

    Why Ripley Hathaway chose Town of Clermont

    This property has remained essentially unchanged since the mid- nineteenth century, when it was first developed by Robert Livingston. When you come here you can relax and experience nature as he experienced it, except now within the comforts of a modern home. If you are a bird watcher, you will thrill to see our resident pair of bald eagles, or our flocks of wild turkeys. Other birds that are often seen include great blue herons, hummingbirds, pileated woodpeckers, and red-tailed hawks. We keep miles of paths cleared for hikes throughout the property. Pick up a picnic lunch at the renowned Central Market in Germantown and have a picnic in the woods beside our waterfall, or in our old orchards.

    What makes this Estate unique

    Your accomodations are down a gated, half-mile, private road which is accessible only to you and the owner. Outside there is comfortable deck furniture and Adirondack chairs, on which to finish that book you have been meaning to read, or to just relax. Should the weather keep you inside, there is wi-fi and a flat screen TV, along with more old-fashioned pursuits like board games and books. Air-conditioned for the summer, and with a wood-burning fireplace for the autumn and winter (aged firewood is provided), there is really no "off season" here. If you are attending a wedding in the area, this is a great base and is ideal for sharing. Our full-time property manager is always on-call, should any problem arise.
