REAL ESTATE: A 1790 historic Federal in Chatham, N.Y.

 

Formerly the Relais & Châteaux-listed Old Chatham Sheepherding Company Inn, this 1790 historic Federal—listed on the National Register of Historic Places—is set on one hundred rolling acres in Chatham, N.Y. The main house has four bedrooms, a great room, and a den, plus a library and a large living room, both of which have fireplaces. The dining room boasts a hand-painted mural and the kitchen includes three refrigerators and a commercial gas range.

 

Five fully updated outbuildings include a large greenhouse and an authentic stone smokehouse; an office equipped with a loft, fireplace, and full bath; a guesthouse with a separate bedroom and a fieldstone fireplace; and a former baking house that has been converted into an artist’s studio with exposed beams, two bedroom suites complete with fireplaces, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar large enough to hold three hundred cases of wine.

 

The surrounding farmland is protected by agricultural easements, and the historic character of the property has been preserved through a complete restoration, while modern amenities include new electrical systems and plumbing, air conditioning, and Internet connections.  --$6,999,000
