About 35 Van Wagner Road
More than a century in the making, and unlike anything else on the market, this extraordinary multi-residential estate began as a historic Hudson Valley farm before being thoughtfully transformed into a modern lifestyle retreat of remarkable scale and character. Over the years, musicians, entrepreneurs, and creative thinkers have called it home. Prior to that, it served as the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary -- a history that still feels deeply woven into the fabric of the land itself. It is evident in the openness of the land, the authenticity of the buildings, and in the way the entire property feels organically evolved rather than simply designed.
Set across twenty-two magnificent acres, the estate is cradled by gentle mountain ridgelines and partially bordered by the Little Beaverkill stream. The setting feels expansive yet deeply secluded, offering a rare sense of privacy and calm where the outside world seems to disappear the moment you arrive.
The main residence spans approximately 2,975 square feet, with four bedrooms and four baths, and was crafted from reclaimed barn beams, blending rustic character with refined, intentional design. Soaring two-story cathedral ceilings define the interiors, filling the home with natural light and creating a quiet sense of grandeur throughout.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen balances beauty and utility with walnut cabinetry, expansive quartz countertops, a generous butcher block island, and a striking black cast-iron Aga cooker. It is a space designed equally for serious cooking and effortless everyday living. Just beyond, the dining room sits two steps below and is wrapped on two sides with windows overlooking the gardens and surrounding grounds, creating a seamless connection to the landscape outside.
Across the great room, a monumental exposed bluestone fireplace anchors the living space, while oversized windows frame sweeping views of the meadows, farmland, and guest houses beyond. Down a quieter, bookcase-lined hallway off the kitchen are two additional rooms that offer both privacy and flexibility. One functions as a bedroom with its own bath, while the other currently serves as the owner's office, overlooking the outbuildings, pool, and rolling fields beyond.
An elegant imperial staircase rises to the second floor, where the primary suite occupies its own private wing. A connecting bridge overlooks the great room below and leads to two additional bedrooms that share a bath, creating a thoughtful separation between gathering spaces and private quarters.
The grounds are extraordinary by any measure. Two separate guest houses offer four additional bedrooms and multiple baths, a grand party barn, and a two-story working barn for animals and storage, creating an exceptional sense of possibility and scale. Between the guest houses and party barn, a recently added heated saline pool invites long summer afternoons surrounded by nature. Just off the kitchen, a fenced vegetable garden awaits the changing seasons, while open meadows, fruit trees, and the steady, unhurried sound of the stream accompany one as they stroll the property's trails, completing the landscape.
Whether envisioned as a private retreat, a multigenerational compound, a gathering place for guests, or a destination for special events, the possibilities here are as expansive as the property itself. All of it sits just a short drive from Woodstock and Phoenicia, yet feels entirely worlds away.
