Property Description

Welcome to Sheriff's Pasture—a rare and storied property nestled in the heart of Kinderhook, offering some of the most fertile and picturesque land in Columbia County. This historic 14.71-acre parcel sits far off the road for ultimate privacy, framed by mature trees, wide-open pasture, and the peaceful sound of Kinderhook Creek flowing at the property's edge. Once a thriving dairy farm, this land has seen generations of stewards work and live in harmony with nature, and now it's ready for the next chapter. The setting here is nothing short of magical. As the sun sets, golden light spills across the fields, filtering through flowering trees and casting a warm glow over lush green grass that seems to go on forever. It's the kind of place where time slows down—where you can walk the land and feel deeply connected to it. Whether you're watching deer graze in the distance, listening to the wind rustle through old oaks, or casting a fly rod into the creek as birdsong echoes in the air, this is where serenity lives. Sheriff's Pasture includes creek frontage on the renowned Kinderhook Creek, known for exceptional fly fishing and gentle kayaking. The terrain is level and ideal for gardens, livestock, horses, or simply as an open canvas for your agricultural or recreational vision. The land has not been overdeveloped—just cared for—preserving its rich soil and old-farm character. A collection of original outbuildings speaks to the farm's long history. Pole barns, a tool shed, a dairy barn, and even an old silo—ripe for restoration or creative reuse—dot the landscape. Imagine converting the silo into a guesthouse, studio, or retreat. All structures are connected to a whole-property generator that supports the home, barns, two wells, and the pool, ensuring functionality no matter the season. At the center of it all is a spacious 2,500+ sq ft home—a barn conversion originally built in 1920 and transformed into a 4-bedroom, 2-bath residence that blends rustic charm with modern convenience. The knotty pine living room with a wood-burning fireplace offers a cozy gathering space. Large windows invite in views of the rolling pastures, flowering hedgerows, and golden light that spills across the fields each evening. Sheriff's Pasture is truly a land-first property—perfect for those seeking room to breathe, grow, and be inspired by the rhythms of nature. Whether you're a farmer, gardener, artist, equestrian, or simply someone who craves wide-open space and natural beauty, this property is ready to accommodate your dreams. And yet, for all its pastoral peace, the location couldn't be more convenient. Just 5 minutes from the charming villages of Kinderhook, Valatie, and Chatham, you'll have easy access to farmers markets, cafes, schools, and shops. Hudson's vibrant arts and dining scene is only 25 minutes away. NYC and Boston are both within a 2.5-hour drive, making weekend escapes or full-time country living equally effortless. If you've been searching for a place where history, nature, and potential converge—where the sunsets steal your breath and the land speaks for itself—look no further than Sheriff's Pasture.
